Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Identifying Neighborhood Level Protective and Promotive Factors for Youth Violence (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 09 008. This announcement uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period, such as collaboration on research direction, methods, or dissemination. The program sits within the health funding activity area and is associated with CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs).
The core goal of the opportunity is to strengthen the evidence base on how neighborhood and broader environmental conditions can reduce youth violence, both perpetration and victimization. Rather than focusing only on individual-level risk factors, the program emphasizes identifying and studying protective and promotive factors at the neighborhood level. In practical terms, this means examining community features that either promote nonviolence directly (promotive factors) or buffer young people from known risks that contribute to violence (protective factors). The intent is to generate knowledge that can inform prevention strategies and community-level interventions by clarifying what aspects of neighborhood context help keep youth safer and less likely to engage in violence.
CDC anticipated a total of about $700,000 in FY 2009 funding to support two awards, implying an average award size around $350,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. The estimated funding/award date was August 31, 2009, indicating that awards were expected to be made near the end of that fiscal year cycle.
The eligibility pool is broad and includes many types of organizations that could carry out neighborhood-level violence research. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), and a wide range of governmental entities such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations (both federally recognized and other than federally recognized tribal entities). This wide eligibility suggests CDC was seeking strong multidisciplinary applications, potentially combining academic research capacity with local government or community-based implementation and data access.
Key dates in the announcement reflect a fairly tight application window. The opportunity was posted November 17, 2008, with a letter of intent deadline of December 17, 2008. The original closing date was February 17, 2009, and the current closing date is listed as February 19, 2009. The archive date was March 19, 2009, meaning after that point it would be considered closed and retained for record purposes rather than accepting new submissions.
