Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cooperative Agreement Program for the National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (U01)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC PA CE10-004). This program uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning awardees are expected to work in a more collaborative relationship with CDC than under a typical grant, with substantial federal involvement in program direction, technical assistance, or coordination. The opportunity sits within the public health domain and is tied to CFDA 93.136, which covers injury prevention and control research and related state and community-based programs.

The central purpose of the announcement is to establish and support National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (often referred to as ACEs). The program is designed to help academic institutions lead real-world, community-focused efforts to reduce youth violence. The specific objective is narrowly defined: each funded Center is expected to reduce youth violence in one clearly defined, high-risk community by implementing and evaluating a multifaceted, evidence-based prevention approach. In practical terms, this points to comprehensive strategies that combine multiple interventions (rather than a single standalone program), grounded in research evidence, and coupled with rigorous evaluation to determine what works, for whom, and under what conditions, with a focus on preventing perpetration of youth violence.

Funding details in the announcement reflect both annual and multi-year planning. For fiscal year 2010, CDC anticipated making approximately $5.2 million available, with the intent to fund up to four awards that year. The broader estimated total funding associated with the opportunity is listed as $39,000,000, indicating the program was structured to support awards over multiple years or across multiple funding cycles. The award ceiling is stated as $1,300,000 (per award), while the award floor is listed as $0, which is a common listing convention and does not imply that zero-dollar awards are expected. Importantly, the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, lowering the barrier for eligible institutions that might otherwise need to contribute non-federal funds to participate.

The solicitation anticipated multiple awards overall, with an "ExpectedAwards" field listing 6, while the narrative description highlights up to four awards for the FY 2010 funding amount. That difference typically reflects that awards can vary by cycle, year, or overall program expectations versus a particular fiscal year allocation. The estimated funding date provided is September 2010, which signals when applicants could expect award decisions or funds to begin flowing, assuming successful application review and final administrative processing.

Eligibility is aimed at academic and academically affiliated institutions with the capacity to partner deeply with communities and carry out both implementation and evaluation. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit universities, colleges, and university-associated teaching hospitals. The listing also references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which suggests the full FOA on Grants.gov contains more nuance, but the core target audience is clearly higher education institutions and their affiliated health/teaching systems. This aligns with the ACE model, which typically relies on academic infrastructure for research design, data systems, evaluation, and dissemination, combined with community partnerships for implementation and local relevance.

The application timeline includes two closing cycles, reinforcing that CDC intended to accept applications at more than one point in time. Cycle 1 closed on June 9, 2010, and Cycle 2 closed on December 6, 2010. Applications had to be successfully validated by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, a key operational detail because validation issues in federal systems can prevent an on-time submission from being accepted. The opportunity was originally posted on March 12, 2010, with an archive date of June 10, 2010 shown in the record, reflecting the lifecycle of that particular posting and the way Grants.gov snapshots announcements over time.

Overall, this funding opportunity is built around the idea that youth violence is preventable when communities implement layered, evidence-based prevention strategies and evaluate them rigorously in real settings. CDC’s intent is not only to fund programming, but to build a national set of academic centers that can demonstrate measurable reductions in youth violence in high-risk communities, generate actionable evidence, and strengthen the broader field of youth violence prevention through tested approaches and credible evaluation results. For full program requirements, deliverables, and application instructions, applicants were directed to the complete announcement on Grants.gov, and CDC provided a contact point through the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for access or submission assistance.
