Fund for a Safer Future

The University of Chicago Health Lab is partnering with UChicago’s Trauma Department to study the impact of gun violence on human capital development. HL is looking for young men from the Southside of Chicago to participate in a 60-minute interview to help us learn more about how individuals growing up in areas disproportionately affected by gun violence choose to plan for their futures.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please see the project flyer and reach out to our staff at saferfutures@uchicago.edu or by phone at (773) 796-7243.
