Opportunity Summary:
The Grants for Injury Control Research Centers opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 14 001) is a CDC discretionary grant program offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning funded recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC staff in planning, implementing, and refining the work. The overall goal is to support centers that can carry out high-quality injury and violence prevention research and, just as importantly, move research findings into real-world practice. These centers are expected to focus on preventing and controlling both fatal and nonfatal injuries, violence, and related disabilities. In addition to producing research, the centers are intended to function as training hubs that help build the next generation of professionals in injury and violence prevention, and as information resources for the public. The program aligns with Healthy People 2020 priorities in injury and violence prevention, signaling that funded work should connect to established national public health objectives.
From a funding standpoint, CDC anticipated making about 50 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000. Individual award amounts were projected to range from $450,000 (award floor) to $900,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal funds. The program is tied to CFDA number 93.136, identified as Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs, which helps categorize the award within federal assistance listings and indicates the broader program area supporting the funding.
Eligibility for this opportunity was broad and included a wide range of domestic entities. Higher education institutions were explicitly included, spanning public/state-controlled and private institutions, as well as several designated institution types such as Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Beyond academia, eligible applicants also included nonprofits (both higher education and non-higher-education nonprofits), small businesses, other for-profit organizations, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district governments, and eligible federal agencies). Tribal governments (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized), U.S. territories or possessions, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, bona fide agents, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) were also listed as eligible. Applicants from all ten DHHS regions could apply. While geographic balance was not a formal requirement, CDC noted it could be considered in final decisions if enough strong applications were received, suggesting an interest in a broadly distributed national footprint when possible. Foreign organizations were not eligible to apply.
Key timing details reflect a relatively short application window. The opportunity was posted and created on October 29, 2013, with an application due date (and original/current closing date) of November 4, 2013. A letter of intent was due earlier, on September 6, 2013. The letter of intent was optional, non-binding, and not scored, but CDC encouraged it because it helps them anticipate reviewer workload and plan the review process. The archive date for the announcement was December 4, 2013, indicating when it would be formally closed out in the posting system.
For applicants and stakeholders, the practical takeaway is that CDC was looking for organizations capable of operating as full-fledged centers, not just running a single research study. Successful proposals would likely need to demonstrate a strong research agenda in injury and violence prevention, a credible plan for translating evidence into prevention practice and community or system-level impact, and the infrastructure to provide training and serve as a public-facing information resource. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, applicants would also need to be prepared for a collaborative relationship with CDC, including responsiveness to federal guidance and alignment with CDC priorities in injury control and prevention.
The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice directed applicants to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), at 770-488-2700.
