Opportunity Summary:
The CDC grant opportunity titled "Evaluation of Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core VIPP)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CE11 1106) was a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on helping the CDC evaluate the Core VIPP program for the benefit of the state and territorial health departments that would receive Core VIPP funding. The central idea was to bring in an external partner to systematically review and measure how well Core VIPP was working, then feed those findings back into program improvement so state injury and violence prevention efforts become more consistent, measurable, and effective over time. The overall intent was not to fund direct service delivery on its own, but to strengthen planning, evaluation, and performance of the Core VIPP cooperative agreement and the public health systems that implement it.
The project was organized around three main goals. First, the awardee would assess state injury and violence prevention plans and judge them for completeness (whether key components are included), measurability (whether objectives and outcomes are specific and trackable), and likely effectiveness (whether the plans align with evidence-based approaches and practical implementation realities). Second, the awardee would develop a planning and evaluation tool that state health departments could use to improve the quality of their plans and their ability to monitor progress and outcomes. Third, the awardee would evaluate the effectiveness of the Core VIPP cooperative agreement itself, meaning the evaluation would look at whether Core VIPP, as a funding and technical assistance model, actually improves state-level capacity and leads to better injury and violence prevention programming and policy activity.
The opportunity reflects CDCs broader aim of improving state health department program and policy activities through structured evaluation and feedback. Core VIPP is described as a capacity-building program intended to help State Health Departments build and/or maintain effective delivery systems for dissemination, implementation, and evaluation of best-practice programs and policies. That includes general capacity building for state agencies and their local partners, as well as strategy-specific capacity building tied to direct best-practice interventions, with explicit examples in the announcement including older adult falls prevention and child injury prevention. In practical terms, the funded evaluator would be expected to look at how states plan and implement these kinds of priority strategies, how they measure results, and what elements of the cooperative agreement help or hinder successful implementation.
In terms of funding structure, CDC anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding level was $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 (and an award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program was listed under CFDA 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC would expect substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on evaluation design, access to program materials and grantee information as appropriate, alignment on deliverables, and iterative use of findings for program improvement rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
Eligibility was broad and included many organizational types that could credibly conduct evaluation and tool development work. Eligible applicants included nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small business) as well as small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community- and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (including Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers), and state and local governments. Political subdivisions of states could apply in consultation with states. The announcement also allowed applications from bona fide agents applying on behalf of a state or local government, but required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be submitted with the application.
The timeline for the competition shows it was posted March 24, 2011, with a letter of intent due April 25, 2011, and the application deadline on May 25, 2011. The opportunity was archived June 24, 2011.
