Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Alcohol related Motor Vehicle Injury Research" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 12 006) is a CDC discretionary funding announcement focused on reducing alcohol-impaired driving (AID) and the injuries and deaths that result from it. The core aim is twofold: first, to study practical ways to implement and spread interventions that are already proven to work, and second, to test new and innovative approaches designed to reduce alcohol-impaired driving specifically in non-occupational settings. In other words, it is not just about proving that an intervention can work in theory; it is about learning how to put effective strategies into real-world practice at scale, and also about evaluating fresh ideas that could improve prevention beyond what is currently known.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), signaling an emphasis on public health and injury prevention research with potential community and policy relevance. The announcement anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000 per award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (both public/state-controlled and private), and the CDC specifically encourages applications from Hispanic Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Beyond universities, eligibility extends to nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal governments, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Additional eligible categories include independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, regional organizations, and faith-based or community-based organizations. The announcement also allows applications through bona fide agents, meaning an agency or organization can apply on behalf of a state or local government if it has a legal, binding agreement documenting that status; that documentation must be submitted with the application. At the same time, the FOA clearly restricts eligibility to domestic entities: non-U.S. (foreign) organizations may not apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed.
Key dates show this was a time-limited solicitation posted on February 28, 2012, with a letter of intent due April 2, 2012 and the full application due May 2, 2012. The opportunity later moved to archive status on June 1, 2012, indicating it is no longer open, but the details still provide a clear snapshot of what the CDC sought to fund: research that improves the uptake and reach of established alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures and rigorously tests innovative strategies that could further reduce impaired driving injuries in everyday, non-work-related contexts.
For applicants needing assistance with accessing the full announcement, the listed contact point was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or PGOTIM@cdc.gov, reflecting the official channel for administrative or access-related questions tied to the funding notice.
