Opportunity Summary:
Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (R01) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), administered through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). It supports investigator-initiated public health research intended to strengthen the evidence base for preventing violence and violence-related injury. The program is positioned as an R01-style research grant and focuses on generating practical, actionable findings that can improve how proven violence prevention approaches are carried out in real-world settings, while also building stronger evidence about what prevents violence and how to prevent the most severe outcomes.
The announcement prioritizes three broad research directions. First, it seeks studies on dissemination, implementation, and translation, meaning research that examines how evidence-based primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies can be adopted, delivered, scaled, and sustained effectively, particularly for reducing youth violence. This includes work that identifies barriers and facilitators to using proven approaches in schools, communities, health systems, or other settings, and that tests ways to improve uptake and fidelity while adapting appropriately to local context. Second, it funds rigorous evaluations of primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies to determine what works to prevent violence. This emphasis points to strong evaluation designs, credible outcome measurement, and clear links between interventions and reductions in violence or violence-related harms. Third, it encourages research aimed at preventing serious and lethal forms of violence, including interpersonal violence and self-directed violence, with the goal of identifying effective approaches to reduce severe injury and death. Across all three areas, the common thread is primary prevention and generating knowledge that can be used by practitioners and policymakers.
The opportunity anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,050,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The original posting date was December 22, 2014, with the application due March 16, 2015 by 5:00 PM Eastern, and a letter of intent due January 30, 2015. The opportunity archive date was April 15, 2015.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of violence prevention research. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. It also included Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The eligibility information also explicitly referenced a variety of institution types and entities such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, faith-based and community-based organizations, federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, regional organizations, and bona fide agents.
