Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Agreement Program for the National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (U01) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to build and support a small number of National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (often referred to as ACEs). The central aim is to reduce youth violence in a single, clearly defined, high-risk community by putting into practice and rigorously evaluating a multifaceted, evidence-based prevention strategy focused on preventing youth violence perpetration. In other words, the program is not just about studying youth violence in general; it is structured around taking proven or promising prevention approaches into a specific community with elevated risk, coordinating them as a comprehensive package, and measuring whether and how they reduce violence.

This opportunity is a discretionary health grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01). A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees compared with a standard grant, which often translates into closer coordination, technical input, and shared responsibility for key program elements such as evaluation expectations, reporting, and alignment with CDC priorities. The funding announcement number is PA CE 10 004, and the CFDA number listed is 93.136, tied to Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. The agency sponsoring the program is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The program anticipated making about four awards, indicating a competitive process and an intent to fund a limited set of centers that can demonstrate strong capacity for community partnership, implementation, and evaluation. The estimated total funding across the program was $39,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,300,000. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally signals that minimum award size is not guaranteed in the public listing, rather than implying that awards would literally be $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility.

Eligible applicants were limited to certain types of institutions with the research, training, and applied public health capacity needed to serve as an academic center. Specifically, eligible institutions included public and private nonprofit universities, colleges, and university-associated teaching hospitals. This eligibility profile reflects the expectation that recipients would have both scholarly infrastructure (to support evidence-based design and evaluation) and the practical reach to partner effectively with communities and implement complex prevention strategies at scale.

Key dates show that this was a time-limited solicitation originally posted in June 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 15, 2010, and an archive date of July 15, 2010. The announcement included letter of intent receipt dates (May 10, 2010 and November 5, 2010) and application submission receipt dates (June 15, 2010 and December 6, 2010), reflecting multiple cycles or submission windows referenced in the notice. The posted date was June 10, 2010, with a creation date of June 11, 2010.

From a program design standpoint, the defining features are (1) a place-based focus on one high-risk community, (2) a multifaceted prevention model rather than a single intervention, (3) reliance on evidence-based approaches, and (4) a strong expectation of evaluation to determine effectiveness and inform broader youth violence prevention practice. This structure suggests the CDC intended ACEs to function as hubs that combine academic rigor with real-world implementation, generating results that could be used to strengthen prevention systems beyond the funded community.
