A one-day planning meeting under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will be held in Washington, DC. The planning meeting will be designed to explore future activities and funding streams of the Forum on Global Violence Prevention (the Forum) and/or violence prevention more broadly as an activity within the National Academies. Topics to be explored will include a re-focusing of the Forum's mission, future workshop topics, possible consensus study topics and possible funders for these activities in order to develop an action plan for next-steps and programmatic/fundraising activities. In order to plan this activity, National Academies staff, with input from NIH, will produce an invitation list (to key Forum Members, invited topical experts as needed, and potential funders) and develop an agenda. NASEM staff will coordinate all travel and lodging as needed, identify and procure a facilitator for said meeting, furnish all meeting space and materials, as well as all related meeting needs. During the meeting, National Academies staff and an identified facilitator will lead participants through an interactive agenda designed to foster idea generation throughout the one-day meeting with the ultimate goal of producing potential next steps and an action plan for the National Academies to continue a robust program related to violence prevention.

Minutes of the meeting, including suggestions on future projects by the attendees, will be produced for internal use. In addition, National Academies staff will produce a short (1-4 page) document/newsletter which will capture prior work of the Forum as well as possible future directions for use by NIH staff, Academies staff, and other Forum Members in fundraising activities following the meeting.
