The harry frank guggenheim foundation is a private operating foundation dedicated to the creation and dissemination of knowledge about the origins and consequences of violence in its many forms, including human aggression, crime and war, and how best to reduce it. To create knowledge, the foundation supports the work of researchers across academic disciplines through grant competitions and commissioned research that investigates violence in its many manifestations.
