Opportunity Summary:
Building Capacity to Prevent SV through Resources, Training and Technical Assistance (CDC RFA CE12 1203) was a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to support a single National Resource Center on Sexual Assault focused on the primary prevention of sexual violence (SV). The central intent of the award was not to fund direct local services, but to strengthen the national infrastructure that helps states and communities plan, carry out, and evaluate prevention strategies before sexual violence occurs. In practical terms, the CDC aimed to fund one organization that could function as a hub for expert guidance, tools, and learning support that SV prevention grantees and practitioners across the country could use to improve the quality and consistency of their prevention work.
The opportunity had two overarching goals. First, the funded resource center was expected to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to CDC SV prevention program recipients and their partners, with an emphasis on supporting the full prevention cycle: planning, implementation, and evaluation of primary prevention efforts. That means helping grantees choose or refine prevention approaches, build realistic workplans, strengthen partnerships, improve program delivery, and develop evaluation methods that can show whether prevention strategies are being implemented as intended and whether they are contributing to desired outcomes. Second, the award was designed to produce and maintain a robust online library of prevention resources, including materials that translate research into practice. This “research translation†function is a key feature of the announcement because it focuses on making prevention science usable for practitioners in the field through summaries, tools, guidance documents, and other accessible formats that support evidence-informed decision-making.
Funding was set at an estimated total of $1,500,000 for FY 2012, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $1,500,000, indicating the CDC anticipated making one award at that amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program fell under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), reflecting CDC’s public health approach to sexual violence as a preventable form of injury and harm that can be addressed through prevention systems, population-level strategies, and evidence-based practice.
Eligibility was intentionally narrow. Competition was limited to state sexual assault coalitions that receive Sexual Assault Coalition Grants authorized through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), as identified by the CDC. The rationale given was that these coalitions have a unique and comprehensive knowledge base related to sexual violence prevention programs, along with the experience and field connections needed to lead a national prevention training and resource center. In other words, the CDC was specifically looking for an organization embedded in the sexual violence prevention ecosystem that could provide credible leadership, understand state and local realities, and support capacity-building across the public health and sexual violence prevention fields.
The funded recipient was expected to support CDC SV prevention program grantees and SV practitioners nationwide by strengthening state and local prevention system capacity. This includes building capacity at multiple levels: individual practitioners (skills and knowledge), organizations (processes, policies, program quality), and broader prevention systems (cross-sector coordination, consistent use of evidence-informed approaches, shared tools and standards). The cooperative agreement mechanism also signals that CDC anticipated an active role in shaping and overseeing the work, typically through collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and alignment with national prevention goals.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted June 22, 2012, with a letter of intent due July 9, 2012, and applications due July 23, 2012 (11:59 p.m. Eastern). The opportunity was archived August 22, 2012. The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and applicants needing access support were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (770-488-2700; PGOTIM@cdc.gov).
