Allie Bond to Join the Rutgers School of Public Health and New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center
Allie Bond, Ph.D., will join the Rutgers School of Public Health’s Department of Urban-Global Public Health as an assistant professor in September 2025. She will also be a member of the school’s New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center.
Bond's research focuses on the intersection of firearms and suicide prevention. Specifically, she seeks to determine who utilizes a firearm in a suicide death and ways to increase the effectiveness of secure firearm storage messaging.
“Dr. Bond is a rising star in the field of suicide prevention and everyone at the GVRC is thrilled to see what she will accomplish in this new role,” said Michael Anestis, executive director of the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center. “Her work saves lives, and our team is far stronger with her on board.”
