Opportunity Summary:
The Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP) is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to help State Health Departments strengthen how they prevent injuries and violence through proven, evidence-based approaches. The program is designed to support states in building or maintaining the practical infrastructure needed to take best practice programs and policies from paper to real-world use. That includes the ability to disseminate information and tools to partners, implement interventions in communities and systems, and evaluate results so the state can show what is working, improve what is not, and make the case for sustaining successful efforts.
A major focus of Core VIPP is capacity building. At a general level, it supports State Health Departments and their local partners in developing the core capabilities that make injury and violence prevention efforts consistent and effective over time. These capabilities often include strengthening coordination among partners, improving data use and surveillance to identify priority problems, enhancing program management and workforce skills, and creating systems for performance measurement and evaluation. The idea is to help states operate with a reliable delivery system so they can repeatedly roll out evidence-based strategies, monitor progress, and adjust based on findings rather than relying on one-off projects.
In addition to general capacity, the opportunity also emphasizes strategy-specific capacity building tied to direct best practice interventions, particularly in the areas of older adult falls and child injury. This means funds can support the state in putting into practice interventions that have demonstrated effectiveness for preventing falls among older adults and reducing injuries among children. The program is aimed at moving these interventions into broader use, supporting implementation planning, partner readiness, and evaluation so that strategies can be delivered at scale and with measurable outcomes.
Another key theme in Core VIPP is integration and strategic alignment of resources. The CDC describes this as supporting State Health Departments in coordinating and aligning their injury and violence prevention resources in a way that creates meaningful change. In practical terms, this can involve better linking programs, blending or coordinating funding streams and staff efforts where appropriate, reducing duplication, and ensuring that different initiatives and partners are working toward shared prevention goals. The intent is to make prevention efforts more coherent and impactful across the state rather than fragmented.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on November 10, 2010, with a closing date of February 8, 2011, and it was archived on March 10, 2011. It falls under CFDA 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling listed is $250,000, and the award floor is $0, indicating awards could vary up to that maximum depending on the applicant and project scope.
Eligible applicants include State Health Departments or their bona fide agents across U.S. states and several U.S. territories and freely associated states, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. Federally recognized or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments are also eligible. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information and Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the point of contact by phone at 770-488-2700.
