Opportunity Summary:
Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-13-002) was a CDC grant program run through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) to support research aimed at stopping violence before it happens. The central focus was on primary prevention of both interpersonal violence and self-directed violence, meaning the program prioritized research that reduces risk factors and strengthens protective factors upstream, rather than projects that only respond after violence has occurred. In practical terms, the opportunity was meant to expand the scientific evidence base on what works to prevent violence and violence-related injuries, and to push the field toward stronger, more testable, and more scalable prevention approaches.
A key goal of the announcement was to bring together a broad mix of professional perspectives to address violence as a public health problem. The CDC explicitly encouraged applications from investigators across disciplines such as epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health economics, law, and criminal justice. This emphasis signals that the program expected rigorous research designs and strong measurement, while also valuing real-world relevance, policy awareness, and implementation considerations that often sit outside a single academic field.
In terms of the kinds of projects the CDC wanted, the announcement emphasized two major research directions. First, it encouraged the development and testing of primary prevention strategies, which typically means designing interventions, programs, policies, or community approaches and evaluating their impact on violence outcomes, related risk factors, and injuries. Second, it invited research on how to improve adoption, implementation, and long-term maintenance of effective strategies among individuals, organizations, and communities. That second area is essentially about moving evidence into practice, including identifying barriers to uptake, testing dissemination or implementation supports, and figuring out what helps effective prevention efforts last and spread rather than remaining isolated pilot projects.
This was a discretionary grant funding opportunity in the health category (CFDA 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The CDC anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,050,000. The award ceiling was $350,000, and there was no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that do not have large pools of unrestricted funds.
Eligibility was broad across U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education (including institutions such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions), nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts, tribal governments, U.S. territories/possessions, and eligible federal agencies). The announcement also allowed applications from independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs). It also described the option for a "bona fide agent" to apply on behalf of a state or local government, provided there is a legal binding agreement documenting that status.
Foreign organizations were explicitly not eligible, and the restrictions went further than many federal competitions: foreign components of U.S. organizations were not eligible, and applicants could not include collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions. In other words, the CDC intended this research to be fully U.S.-based in staffing and institutional participation, consistent with the eligibility rules spelled out in the notice.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted January 11, 2013, with a letter of intent due February 26, 2013, and full applications due March 26, 2013 by 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time. The program is now archived (archive date April 25, 2013), meaning it is not currently open for applications, but the details still serve as a snapshot of the CDCs priorities at the time: generating stronger evidence for primary prevention of violence and improving the real-world uptake and staying power of strategies shown to work. For technical access issues, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
