Opportunity Summary:
Maintaining Collection of National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) Data (CDC RFA CE07-704; funding opportunity number CDC RFA CE13-1310) is a one-year CDC cooperative agreement designed to keep a core group of states fully operational in the National Violent Death Reporting System and to push their data collection forward into newer years. The central aim is to sustain and expand each participating state s ability to collect, integrate, and share accurate, timely, and comprehensive surveillance information on violent deaths, so public health agencies can better understand patterns of violent mortality and use that evidence to guide prevention strategies. This work supports the broader national objective of reducing and preventing violent deaths in the United States and contributes to the longer-term goal of systematic violent-death surveillance coverage across all 50 states.
The program is structured around very specific data-collection deliverables tied to different time periods. First, awardees are expected to complete full, ongoing collection of comprehensive data for all violent deaths occurring in 2012, and they must do so by pulling from three required source types: death certificates, coroner or medical examiner reports, and law enforcement reports. Second, awardees must collect preliminary data for all violent deaths occurring in 2013 using at least one of those source types, and this preliminary record must include the abstractor-determined manner of death. Third, awardees must begin data collection for a portion of violent deaths occurring between January 1, 2014 and April 30, 2014, effectively ensuring that the participating states are not only finishing historical abstraction but also keeping pace with more current cases. Across these tasks, the emphasis is on completeness, timeliness, and consistent integration of information that would otherwise remain fragmented across separate systems.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement under the CDC health activity category, which signals that CDC expects substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds, often including collaboration on expectations, data quality, and surveillance practices typical of cooperative agreements. The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $1,251,963, with individual awards expected to fall between an award floor of $180,000 and an award ceiling of $235,000. The CDC anticipated making six awards, and the program is listed under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). No cost sharing or matching is required, which reduces barriers to participation for eligible state programs and keeps the focus on maintaining surveillance capacity and outputs.
Eligibility is intentionally limited to the six state health departments that were originally funded to implement NVDRS in 2007: Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina, and Virginia. CDC explains this limitation as a way to preserve comparability of data over time from a consistent group of states, allowing national, state, and local agencies to assess trends more quickly. It also reflects a practical investment strategy: maintaining and leveraging infrastructure already built, retaining experienced staff and established partnerships with vital records, medical examiner or coroner offices, and law enforcement, and maximizing public health expenditures by building on proven systems rather than starting from scratch.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on June 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 22, 2013, and an archive date of August 21, 2013. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement, CDC directed them to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov. Overall, this FOA functions as a targeted continuation and capacity-maintenance effort, keeping NVDRS data collection moving forward in the six legacy states while ensuring complete multi-source capture for prior-year violent deaths and initiating abstraction for the most recent cases.
FAQs: Maintaining Collection of National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) Data (CDC RFA CE07-704; CDC RFA CE13-1310)
What is this funding opportunity?
This is a one-year CDC discretionary cooperative agreement focused on maintaining full operations for a core group of states participating in the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) and advancing their data collection into newer years.
What is the main purpose of the award?
The central goal is to sustain and expand each participating state's capacity to collect, integrate, and share accurate, timely, and comprehensive surveillance information on violent deaths. This helps public health agencies understand patterns of violent mortality and use the evidence to guide prevention strategies, supporting the broader objective of reducing and preventing violent deaths in the United States.
What is NVDRS in the context of this opportunity?
NVDRS is described here as a surveillance system for violent deaths that relies on integrating information that would otherwise be fragmented across separate systems. This cooperative agreement supports continued, systematic collection and integration of those data within participating states.
How long is the project period?
The opportunity is a one-year cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that this is a "cooperative agreement"?
The funding mechanism is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement under the CDC health activity category. In this structure, CDC expects substantial involvement beyond issuing funds, often including collaboration on expectations, data quality, and surveillance practices typical of cooperative agreements.
Which states are eligible to apply?
Eligibility is limited to the six state health departments originally funded to implement NVDRS in 2007: Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina, and Virginia.
Why is eligibility limited to only those six states?
CDC explains the limitation as a way to preserve comparability of data over time from a consistent group of states, enabling quicker assessment of trends. It also reflects an investment in maintaining existing infrastructure, retaining experienced staff, and leveraging established partnerships with vital records, medical examiner or coroner offices, and law enforcement.
What are the required data sources for the 2012 data collection deliverable?
For violent deaths occurring in 2012, awardees are expected to complete full, ongoing collection of comprehensive data using three required source types: death certificates, coroner or medical examiner reports, and law enforcement reports.
What is required for 2013 data collection?
Awardees must collect preliminary data for all violent deaths occurring in 2013 using at least one of the required source types (death certificates, coroner or medical examiner reports, or law enforcement reports). The preliminary record must include the abstractor-determined manner of death.
What is required for 2014 data collection?
Awardees must begin data collection for a portion of violent deaths occurring between January 1, 2014 and April 30, 2014, to ensure they are keeping pace with more current cases while completing prior-year abstraction.
Is the emphasis more on completing historical data or collecting current cases?
The deliverables are structured to do both: complete comprehensive multi-source capture for 2012, collect preliminary statewide coverage for 2013, and initiate abstraction for early 2014 cases. Across all tasks, the emphasis is on completeness, timeliness, and consistent integration of information.
How much total funding is estimated for this opportunity?
The total estimated funding is $1,251,963.
What is the expected award size per recipient?

What is the practical impact of this award for participating states?
This FOA functions as a targeted continuation and capacity-maintenance effort. It is intended to keep NVDRS data collection fully operational in the six legacy states, ensure complete multi-source data capture for 2012 violent deaths, collect preliminary coverage for 2013 deaths, and initiate abstraction for early 2014 cases.
How does this opportunity connect to nationwide surveillance goals?
The work contributes to the longer-term goal of systematic violent-death surveillance coverage across all 50 states, while maintaining a consistent set of states to support trend comparability over time.
