Opportunity Summary:
The CDC grant opportunity titled "Grants for Injury Control Research Centers" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 12 001) is a discretionary grant program designed to build and support multidisciplinary centers focused on injury and violence prevention. The central aim is to develop Injury Control Research Centers that conduct high-quality research on the prevention and control of fatal and nonfatal injuries, violence, and injury-related disabilities, while also making sure that research findings do not stay trapped in academic journals. A major expectation is that these centers actively translate scientific discoveries into real-world practice, meaning they help move evidence-based approaches into the hands of practitioners, communities, and decision-makers who can use them to reduce injury and violence outcomes. In addition to research and translation, the centers are also expected to function as training hubs for developing the next generation of injury and violence prevention professionals and as information resources for the public. The program aligns with the Healthy People 2020 focus area of injury and violence prevention, reinforcing its role in supporting national public health priorities.
This opportunity is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The funding mechanism is a grant, and the activity category is health. The CDC anticipated making around seven awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,300,000. Individual awards could be as high as $905,500, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad within the United States and includes a wide range of organization types capable of operating a research-and-translation center. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (both public/state-controlled and private), including institutions that are specifically encouraged to apply such as Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. Beyond universities, eligible applicants also include nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, U.S. territories or possessions, and federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal governments. Additional eligible entities include independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and certain designated "bona fide agents" applying on behalf of a state or local government. For bona fide agent applicants, documentation is required in the form of a legal, binding agreement from the relevant state or local government, to be attached during Grants.gov submission. Non-U.S. entities are not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are not allowed. Applicants from all ten DHHS regions may apply.
Key dates for this funding opportunity included a Letter of Intent due on September 13, 2011, and an application due date that was originally October 28, 2011, then updated to a current closing date of October 31, 2011. The posting date was April 27, 2011, and the announcement was later archived on November 27, 2011. While these dates indicate the opportunity is historical and no longer open, the structure of the program describes what CDC sought to fund: established or emerging centers capable of producing rigorous injury and violence prevention research, translating that research into effective interventions and policies, training professionals, and serving as credible public-facing information centers.
