Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Agreement Program for the National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (U01) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding opportunity designed to create and support National Academic Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention, commonly referred to as ACEs. The core purpose was to fund a small number of university-based centers that could partner closely with communities and use strong public health methods to reduce youth violence. Rather than focusing broadly across many locations, the program emphasized measurable change in one clearly defined, high-risk community, with the expectation that strategies would be practical, evidence-based, and capable of being evaluated in a rigorous way.
The central objective of the announcement was to reduce youth violence perpetration by implementing and evaluating a multifaceted approach. In practice, this meant applicants were expected to combine multiple prevention strategies instead of relying on a single program. The approach needed to be grounded in evidence, meaning it should draw from interventions or prevention models with demonstrated effectiveness, and it needed to be implemented in a coordinated manner within the chosen community. The emphasis on evaluation signaled that CDC wanted funded centers not only to deliver prevention activities, but also to produce credible findings about what was implemented, how it was implemented, and whether it reduced violence outcomes. Because the funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement (U01), CDC involvement was expected to be more hands-on than in a typical grant, with substantial programmatic collaboration between the awardees and the agency during the life of the project.
This opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-10-004 and fell within the health funding activity category. It was associated with CFDA number 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. The estimated total funding amount was $5.2 million, with an anticipated four awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $1.3 million, and there was no stated award floor, which typically indicates that award sizes could vary depending on the scope and quality of proposed work. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to certain types of academic and academic-affiliated institutions. Specifically, eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit universities and colleges, as well as university-associated teaching hospitals. The structure reflects the program’s intent to leverage academic expertise in violence prevention research, implementation science, evaluation, and community partnership. While the listing notes “Others (see text)†in the high-level eligible applicants field, the detailed eligibility statement clarifies that the primary targets were nonprofit academic institutions and related teaching hospitals.
Timeline information in the record indicates the opportunity was originally posted on June 11, 2010, with an original closing date of June 16, 2010. The record also shows later system dates (creation date December 24, 2013 and a “current closing date†of December 25, 2013), but it explicitly states that the notice is archived and provided for informational purposes only, with no applications being solicited. The archive date was January 24, 2015, reinforcing that this is no longer an active funding opportunity and is being presented as historical information rather than an open solicitation.
