Opportunity Summary:
The Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program funding opportunity (CDC RFA CE14-1401) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement designed to prevent sexual violence by supporting primary prevention work at the state and territorial level. The central aim is not simply to respond after harm occurs, but to reduce the likelihood of sexual violence happening in the first place. Through this announcement, CDC sought to increase the share of RPE-funded recipients that are implementing prevention strategies aligned with widely accepted principles of effective prevention, meaning strategies that are intentional, sufficiently intensive, and built around evidence and community input rather than one-off awareness activities.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on “primary prevention strategies” and the general principles that tend to make prevention efforts more successful. Applicants were expected to focus on modifiable risk and protective factors related to both perpetration and victimization, rather than treating sexual violence as inevitable or purely an individual issue. Strategies were also expected to operate across multiple levels of the social ecology, which typically means working not only with individuals but also with relationships, organizations (such as schools or workplaces), communities, and broader societal norms and policies. The announcement also highlights the importance of sufficient dosage or intensity, signaling that brief or standalone sessions are generally less favored than sustained, well-implemented interventions. Cultural relevance is explicitly required, along with meaningful involvement of stakeholders in designing and carrying out the work, and reliance on the best available evidence.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement beyond a standard grant, such as ongoing technical assistance, collaboration, or shared programmatic expectations between CDC and awardees. The program’s activity category is health, and it falls under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), reflecting CDC’s framing of sexual violence as a preventable public health problem. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for eligible public agencies and their designated agents.
The opportunity anticipated 59 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $161,714,435. Award amounts ranged from a floor of $35,000 up to a ceiling of $5,152,026, indicating substantial variation in award size depending on jurisdiction, program scale, and other CDC funding considerations. The announcement was posted on June 10, 2013, with an application closing date of July 29, 2013, and it was later archived on August 28, 2013, meaning it is no longer open for applications.
Eligibility was limited to state health departments or their Bona Fide Agents, including the District of Columbia and a wide set of U.S. territories and freely associated states (such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). The competition structure reflects CDC’s stated justification for less than maximum competition: after the RPE program shifted in 2001 from a block grant model to a categorical grant program housed in CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, CDC intentionally continued funding state and territorial health departments to avoid disrupting services and to build on existing infrastructure and capacity.
