Opportunity Summary:
The Child and Adolescent Injury and Violence Prevention Resource Centers (CAIVP) Cooperative Agreement Program is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to reduce injuries and violence among infants, children, and adolescents by strengthening the national infrastructure that supports prevention. The program is built around the idea that injuries and violence are the leading public health threat for people ages 1 to 44 in the United States, and that for children and adolescents specifically, deaths from injuries and violence exceed deaths from all diseases combined. Beyond fatalities, injuries are a major driver of lifelong disability and health care costs, and the opportunity emphasizes that decades of research have already produced effective prevention strategies, making this a high-impact area where measurable reductions in harm are realistically achievable.
The cooperative agreement has four overarching aims. First, it seeks to elevate national, state, and community attention to child and adolescent injury and violence prevention and to deepen commitment to protecting young people from preventable harm. Second, it aims to improve the practical capacity of HRSA-funded health and safety services and systems, along with their partners, through outreach, training, and hands-on technical assistance. The systems referenced include state health departments, child death review programs, community health centers, and Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) programs, among others that touch children’s health and safety. Third, the program is meant to speed up translation from research to day-to-day practice by helping agencies and communities adopt and adapt evidence-based methods that have been demonstrated to reduce injuries and violence, improving the cost-effectiveness of prevention spending across all levels. Fourth, the program ultimately targets better health and safety outcomes for infants, children, and adolescents, noting the scale of the burden: each year, about one in four children and adolescents experiences an injury serious enough to need medical attention, contributing to more than 430,000 hospitalizations.
CAIVP is aligned with several national frameworks and accountability measures, which shapes what funded centers are expected to support. It explicitly connects to Healthy People 2020 Injury and Violence Prevention objectives focused on expanding comprehensive child fatality review coverage: (1) increasing the number of states and DC where 100 percent of external-cause deaths among children age 17 and under are reviewed by a child fatality review team, and (2) increasing the number of states and DC where 90 percent of sudden and unexpected infant deaths are reviewed by a child fatality review team. It also aligns with the CDC National Action Plan for Childhood Injury Prevention and Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Performance Measures. The opportunity highlights that nearly all State Title V programs identify intentional and/or unintentional injury as a priority need, and it points to two national performance measures every state must report: NPM #10 (motor vehicle crash death rate for children age 14 and younger) and NPM #16 (suicide death rate among youth ages 15 to 19). In practical terms, the cooperative agreement is structured to help states and communities build the data, review processes, partnerships, policies, and programmatic capacity that can move these measures in the right direction.
Program work is divided into two coordinated categories, and awardees are expected to collaborate with each other and with other stakeholder organizations so that the work is mutually reinforcing rather than duplicated. Category 1 is the Children’s Safety Network National Resource Center (CSNNRC), which functions as a national resource hub to build core injury and violence prevention capacity across health and safety systems serving infants, children, and adolescents, including children with special health care needs. The CSNNRC role emphasizes capacity-building activities such as strengthening commitment to prevention, improving needs assessment, supporting planning and evaluation, enhancing surveillance and data systems, developing and maintaining cross-sector partnerships, supporting program and system development, informing policy formulation, and providing technical assistance to states, communities, and families. In effect, this category focuses on the broad prevention ecosystem: helping agencies and partner organizations know what to do, how to do it well, how to measure it, and how to sustain it.
Category 2 is the National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths, which concentrates specifically on improving and strengthening state and local Child Death Review (CDR) capacity. CDR is presented as a prevention tool that treats death as a sentinel event and systematically examines the factors contributing to a child’s death by integrating information across domains such as the child’s health and personal characteristics, family and community environment, death investigation findings, medical care, and social and welfare systems. The intent is not only to document what happened, but to use the findings to generate prevention-oriented recommendations and then translate those recommendations into local policies, systems changes, and programs. Activities in this category include establishing and stabilizing CDR systems, implementing continuous quality improvement, improving collection and analysis of meaningful CDR data, applying CDR data to develop recommendations for infant/child/adolescent health and safety services and systems, and incorporating evidence-based strategies into the recommendations that emerge from reviews.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a cooperative agreement (meaning HRSA anticipates substantial involvement with awardees rather than a hands-off grant model) with an estimated total funding level of $1,450,000 and an expected two awards. It carried CFDA number 93.110 under Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs and did not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted February 13, 2012, with an original and final closing date of March 14, 2012, and an archive date of May 13, 2012. Eligible applicants were broadly defined under 42 CFR 51a.3(a) to include public and private entities, including tribal organizations, as well as faith-based and community-based organizations, and a range of governmental units (state, county, city/township, special districts) and for-profit entities (including small businesses). A key eligibility screen was that applicants had to demonstrate significant national-level experience with infant, child, and adolescent health and safety; applications that did not clearly show this level of experience were not considered further.
Overall, the CAIVP program is best understood as a national capacity-building investment: one component strengthens prevention knowledge and implementation support across the systems that serve children and families, while the other strengthens the child death review infrastructure that turns fatality data into actionable prevention strategies. Together, these two categories are intended to help states and communities move from awareness and data to practical, evidence-based interventions that reduce injuries, violence, disability, and preventable deaths among young people.
