Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released this discretionary funding opportunity, titled "Research on Integration of Injury Prevention in Health Systems" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 14 004), to strengthen how injury prevention is built into the routines of both public health agencies and clinical health care settings. The central aim is to support research that makes the connection between public health and clinical medicine more practical and evidence-driven, especially in areas where health systems can play a direct prevention role rather than only responding after injuries occur.
The opportunity focuses on two major research priorities. First, it seeks studies that develop and strengthen the evidence base for clinical preventive services related to prescription drug overdose. In practical terms, this means generating research that helps clarify what clinical interventions work, for whom, in what settings, and how they can be delivered as standard preventive care. The emphasis is on producing evidence that can guide clinical practice and health system decision-making around overdose prevention, including how prevention services might be identified, implemented, and evaluated within real-world care environments.
Second, the CDC is looking for research that examines workable partnership models between hospitals and state or local health departments. The goal here is to improve how communities assess and plan for health needs by ensuring injury prevention is meaningfully included in community health needs assessments and in the resulting health improvement plans. This priority recognizes that hospitals and health departments often have overlapping responsibilities and data sources, but may not always coordinate effectively; the research supported under this announcement is meant to identify and test partnership approaches that lead to better joint planning, clearer roles, stronger use of injury data, and more effective prevention strategies embedded into community-wide improvement efforts.
Awards were planned as cooperative agreements, which generally indicates that the CDC expected substantial involvement in the funded projects, such as technical input, coordination, or collaborative oversight during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number tied to the program is 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The announcement anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000. The award ceiling was $200,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of public, private, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); small businesses; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility information also referenced additional categories such as faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, bona fide agents, and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs), suggesting the CDC intended to allow participation from many types of organizations capable of conducting applied research and building cross-sector partnerships.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 16, 2013, with the application closing date set for March 19, 2014, and an archive date of April 18, 2014. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was provided as the point of contact, with phone support listed at 770-488-2700.
