Opportunity Summary:
Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (RFA CE 14 006) was a CDC funding opportunity run through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) to support research aimed at stopping interpersonal violence before it starts and reducing the injuries and other harms that violence causes. The program was positioned as an extramural research effort, meaning CDC was seeking to fund outside researchers and organizations to strengthen the evidence base behind what actually prevents violence at the individual, relationship, community, and broader societal levels. A central theme of the announcement is primary prevention: developing knowledge and interventions that reduce the likelihood of violence occurring in the first place, rather than focusing only on response after violence happens.
The opportunity emphasized building and expanding the scientific foundation for violence prevention by encouraging rigorous research that increases understanding of risk factors, protective factors, and mechanisms that lead to interpersonal violence, as well as the pathways that can interrupt those pathways early. It also explicitly aimed to bring together professionals from a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the reality that preventing violence is not only a public health question but also involves behavioral and social sciences, epidemiology, medicine, biostatistics, economics, law, and criminal justice. In practice, this meant CDC was inviting multidisciplinary research teams and approaches that can connect data, theory, policy, and real-world systems to produce actionable prevention strategies.
A major priority described in the announcement was the development and testing of primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies. This includes research that designs new interventions or adapts existing ones, evaluates their effectiveness, and measures how well they reduce violence and violence-related outcomes. Importantly, the scope was not limited to efficacy or effectiveness testing in controlled settings; it also included dissemination, implementation, and translation research. That part of the program focus recognizes that even when interventions work, they often fail to scale or stick. CDC therefore encouraged studies that examine how proven approaches can be adopted, implemented with quality, sustained over time, and integrated into the normal operations of individuals, organizations, or communities.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this was a discretionary grant opportunity with awards made as cooperative agreements, indicating CDC anticipated having substantial involvement during the project period (for example, in collaboration, technical input, or coordination expectations typical of cooperative agreements). The activity category was Health, and the CFDA number listed was 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). CDC expected to make about three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $3,150,000. The award ceiling was $350,000, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the award floor was listed as $0 (generally meaning CDC did not specify a minimum request level in the summary data).
Eligibility was broad and included many organizational types. Institutions of higher education were eligible, including public/state and private universities, and CDC specifically encouraged applications from Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. Eligible applicants also included nonprofits (both higher education and non-higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and a wide range of government entities such as state, county, city/township, special district governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Other eligible entities listed included independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, bona fide agents, and federally funded research and development centers. The practical takeaway is that CDC was open to funding many types of organizations as long as they could credibly conduct high-quality research aligned with primary prevention and implementation of violence-prevention strategies.
