Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (R01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-09-007. This program is focused on strengthening the evidence base around violence and violence-related injury by supporting research that deepens understanding of how violence happens, what drives it, and which prevention strategies are effective. In practical terms, the CDC is looking to fund studies that can move the field forward by clarifying causes and risk factors, testing or improving interventions, and generating findings that can inform prevention policies and programs.
For fiscal year 2009, the CDC anticipated a total of about $2,000,000 in available funding, with plans to make approximately five awards. Each award could be funded up to an estimated ceiling of $400,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is health, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs), reflecting the CDC's injury prevention mission and the broader public health framing of violence as a preventable health problem.
The timeline for the announcement was clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on October 22, 2008, with a letter of intent deadline of December 22, 2008, and a full application deadline of January 21, 2009 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The archive date was February 20, 2009, indicating when the announcement would no longer be actively available for submission. The CDC listed an estimated funding date of August 31, 2009, giving applicants a general sense of when awards might be finalized and projects could begin.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of public, private, nonprofit, and tribal entities. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. Both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education were eligible, as were nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). The eligibility list also included small businesses and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, which signals an openness to diverse research organizations, including those that may bring applied research or evaluation capacity.
The CDC directed applicants to the full funding opportunity announcement for complete requirements and program details, hosted on the CDC website at the provided link. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was the Technical Information Management Section (PGO/TIMS), with a phone number of 770-488-2700. This contact appears intended to help with access and technical issues related to the announcement materials rather than to provide scientific or programmatic guidance.
Overall, this R01 opportunity was designed to fund rigorous research aimed at preventing violence and reducing violence-related injuries, with modest-sized awards distributed across a small cohort of projects. The emphasis is on generating actionable knowledge about the causes of violence and the effectiveness of prevention strategies, consistent with CDC's public health approach to violence prevention.
