Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity, titled "Collecting Violent Death Information Using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement focused on improving how violent death data are gathered, managed, and shared. The central goal is to help funded jurisdictions create and carry out a structured plan for collecting accurate, timely, and complete information on all violent deaths within a target area, using CDC-provided guidelines and a web-based data entry system. The broader public health purpose is to strengthen violence surveillance so communities and decision-makers can better understand what is happening, identify patterns and risk factors, and use that evidence to guide prevention strategies. Data collected by each awardee are not only used locally, but are also combined by CDC into a multi-state database, allowing CDC and partners to describe regional and national trends in violent deaths.
Applicants funded under this opportunity are expected to perform four core activities throughout the funding period. First, they must create and regularly update an implementation plan for NVDRS coverage in the targeted area, which typically requires coordination across multiple jurisdictions and partner agencies. This planning function is meant to ensure that data collection is consistent, sustainable, and comprehensive, and that the participating entities understand roles, responsibilities, and processes for getting the needed information into the NVDRS system.
Second, awardees must collect and abstract detailed information on violent deaths from key source documents. These sources include death certificates (DC), coroner or medical examiner (CME) reports (including toxicology findings), and law enforcement (LE) reports. The emphasis is on building a fuller picture of the circumstances surrounding each death by bringing together information that is usually scattered across different systems. The work is performed using a CDC-provided web-based data entry program and standardized guidelines, which are intended to improve data quality, completeness, and comparability across states and territories.
Third, recipients are required to disseminate NVDRS findings to stakeholders and the general public in a meaningful and visible way. This includes sharing data through multiple channels such as presentations, web-based reports, publications, and fact sheets, and also includes responding to data requests or establishing ongoing data-sharing relationships with key stakeholders. The intent is that surveillance does not remain locked in a database; instead, it should be translated into accessible information that can support agencies and organizations working on violence prevention, intervention, and response.
Fourth, the grant encourages recipients to explore innovative approaches to accessing, reporting, and sharing violent death data. This part of the program is aimed at improving timeliness and increasing how often and how effectively the data are used in real-world prevention work. In practice, this could involve improving workflows for obtaining source documents, streamlining abstraction processes, enhancing reporting products, or developing better mechanisms for getting actionable findings into the hands of prevention partners more quickly.
A key theme in the announcement is that these four activities are designed to strengthen the overall prevention ecosystem by improving the ability of violence prevention efforts to identify problems, select and target interventions, implement strategies, and evaluate whether those strategies are working. At the same time, the CDC is clear about the boundary of the funding: the cooperative agreement is primarily about surveillance infrastructure and data dissemination. Actual prevention programming and the broader capacity to act on the findings (such as implementing policy changes, running prevention initiatives, or maintaining long-term prevention operations) are described as needs that sit outside the scope of this specific funding opportunity, even though the data produced are meant to support that work.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health category. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-CE14-1402, and it is linked to CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The program anticipated 29 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,600,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants included government organizations such as states and their bona fide agents (including the District of Columbia), county governments, city or township governments, and territorial governments or their bona fide agents, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and several Pacific jurisdictions listed in the notice (including the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). The opportunity was originally posted April 8, 2014, with late June 2014 closing dates, and it was archived in July 2014.
