Dr. Christina Colosimo

Recipient of the 2025 John M. Templeton, Jr., MD Injury Prevention Research Scholarship

Testimonial

The scholarship has been instrumental in advancing my research on gun violence prevention by providing the necessary resources to develop and implement an evidence-based intervention for at-risk students. Through interactive education on firearm safety, violence prevention, and life-saving techniques like Stop the Bleed, we are equipping young individuals with critical knowledge and skills. The support has allowed us to assess behavioral changes and awareness shifts, ensuring that our program is both impactful and adaptable to diverse school environments. This opportunity has strengthened our ability to create a meaningful, community-driven approach to reducing firearm-related injuries and deaths.
