Opportunity Summary:
DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand primary prevention efforts focused on intimate partner violence (IPV). The central aim was not only to implement prevention strategies, but also to evaluate them in a way that helps build a stronger base of practice-based evidence, meaning evidence that grows out of real-world implementation in communities and systems rather than only controlled research settings. In practical terms, the program was meant to help states and their domestic violence coalitions move upstream, beyond responding to violence after it occurs, and toward coordinated prevention approaches that can reduce the likelihood of IPV occurring in the first place.
A defining feature of the program was its emphasis on prevention strategies that target structural determinants of health and other upstream drivers of violence at the outer levels of the social ecological model (SEM), particularly the community and societal layers. This reflects a focus on changing conditions that shape risk across whole populations, such as norms, policies, institutional practices, and community environments, rather than only focusing on individual behavior change. At the same time, DELTA FOCUS required these outer-layer strategies to be coordinated with and aligned to existing approaches at the inner SEM layers (individual, relationship), recognizing that effective prevention often requires multiple, reinforcing strategies working together. The opportunity explicitly aligned with Healthy People 2020 priority areas, especially Injury and Violence Prevention and Social Determinants of Health, reinforcing that IPV prevention is both a violence prevention issue and a broader public health and equity issue tied to community conditions and opportunity structures.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more engaged partnership between the CDC and the recipients than a standard grant, often including federal involvement through guidance, technical assistance, and collaborative expectations around evaluation and implementation. The activity category was health, and the CFDA listing was 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The CDC anticipated making 12 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $20.5 million. Individual annual award amounts were expected to range from roughly $340,000 (floor) to $410,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can lower barriers for nonprofit coalitions that may not have access to flexible funds.
Eligibility was limited and targeted. The primary eligible applicants were state domestic violence coalitions that meet the federal definition of a statewide nongovernmental nonprofit domestic violence organization with membership and governance representative of primary-purpose domestic violence service providers in the state, and with a mission that includes education, support, and technical assistance to service providers, along with serving as a statewide clearinghouse and resource hub. The definition of “State†for eligibility purposes was broad and included U.S. states as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several U.S. territories. The opportunity also allowed for a bona fide agent arrangement, meaning an agency or organization could apply on behalf of a state or local government if formally designated, but this required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be submitted with the application.
In terms of timeline, the opportunity was posted on September 6, 2012, with a letter of intent due by September 26, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern, and the application due by November 5, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. The record also notes a current closing date of November 9, 2012, and that technical assistance for eligible applicants was offered through two CDC-hosted conference calls on September 18 and September 20, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on December 5, 2012. For applicant support and access issues, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office was listed as the point of contact.
Overall, DELTA FOCUS can be understood as an effort to help state domestic violence coalitions lead and coordinate broader prevention systems, with a strong expectation that funded work would both implement and rigorously evaluate multi-level, community and societal strategies. The intent was to generate actionable learning about what works in real settings to prevent IPV, while strengthening coordinated prevention infrastructures that can align community-level change with existing services and interventions.
DELTA FOCUS (CDC) Grant Opportunity FAQs
What is DELTA FOCUS?
DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) was a CDC cooperative agreement grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand primary prevention efforts focused on intimate partner violence (IPV).
What was the main purpose of the program?
The central purpose was to help states and their domestic violence coalitions move "upstream" by implementing prevention strategies intended to reduce the likelihood of IPV occurring in the first place, rather than focusing only on responding after violence occurs.
What does "primary prevention" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Primary prevention in this opportunity refers to strategies aimed at preventing IPV before it starts, including changing community and societal conditions that influence risk across populations.
How was DELTA FOCUS different from programs that focus only on services or response?
DELTA FOCUS emphasized prevention systems and strategies beyond post-incident response. It focused on coordinated, multi-level prevention approaches, especially those operating at community and societal levels, while still aligning with work at individual and relationship levels.
What was the role of evaluation in DELTA FOCUS?
Evaluation was a core expectation. The program aimed not only to implement prevention strategies, but also to evaluate them in ways that build practice-based evidence, meaning evidence derived from real-world implementation in communities and systems rather than only controlled research settings.
What is "practice-based evidence" as described in this opportunity?
Practice-based evidence refers to actionable learning and evidence that emerges from implementing strategies in real settings (communities, systems, institutions) and evaluating what happens in practice.
What types of prevention strategies were emphasized?

Did DELTA FOCUS focus only on community and societal strategies?
No. While the emphasis was on outer-layer strategies (community and societal), the opportunity required those strategies to be coordinated with and aligned to existing approaches at the inner SEM layers (individual and relationship), reflecting an expectation of reinforcing, multi-level prevention.
How did the opportunity connect to Healthy People 2020?
