Opportunity Summary:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity "Research on Teen Dating Violence (R01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-09-169) supported investigator-initiated research focused on teen dating violence (TDV). The core aim was to build stronger evidence about why TDV happens, what predicts it, and what can prevent it. NIH specifically invited behavioral and biomedical studies that deepen understanding of the etiologies and precursors of TDV, identify factors that increase or reduce risk, and ultimately help lower the incidence of dating violence among adolescents. Alongside causes and prevention, the announcement also highlighted the practical, real-world response landscape: it encouraged research that looks at how different groups perceive and respond to TDV, and where those perceptions align or conflict. That includes service providers, the criminal justice system, teens themselves, victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, with an emphasis on identifying linkages and gaps that may affect reporting, intervention, accountability, safety planning, and access to appropriate support.
This opportunity used the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it was intended for more mature, hypothesis-driven projects that can support a substantial, multi-year research plan rather than a short exploratory effort. NIH noted that the R01 announcement ran in parallel with a separate but scientifically identical FOA using the R21 mechanism (PA-09-170), which is typically designed for earlier-stage, exploratory or developmental work. In practical terms, applicants were expected to select the mechanism that best fit the maturity and scope of their proposed study, with R01 being the main path for larger and more definitive research programs.
Funding decisions under PA-09-169 were described as contingent on the availability of appropriated funds and on NIH receiving a sufficient number of meritorious applications. The FOA did not promise a fixed number of awards; instead, it communicated that awards would depend on both budget conditions and application quality as assessed through peer review.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organizational types. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities), U.S. territories or possessions, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The eligibility language also explicitly encompassed institutions and organizations 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, regional organizations, and eligible federal agencies. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which generally means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
From a topic standpoint, the FOA can be read as supporting a wide pipeline of TDV research: foundational work that clarifies developmental, social, psychological, and potentially biological contributors; studies that pinpoint early warning signs and modifiable risk and protective factors; evaluations of prevention and risk-reduction strategies; and systems-focused research on how adolescents and institutions interpret TDV and decide what actions are appropriate. The emphasis on multiple perspectives (victims, perpetrators, bystanders, service providers, and criminal justice stakeholders) also signals interest in understanding how responses to TDV function across settings and where breakdowns occur, such as mismatched expectations, barriers to reporting, inconsistent institutional practices, or gaps between teen experiences and formal systems.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 17, 2009, and the original and final closing date listed was September 7, 2012, with the archive date of October 8, 2012, indicating that the FOA is no longer open for applications. The awarding agency was NIH, and the activity areas tied to the opportunity included education, health, income security, and social services. The FOA referenced CFDA numbers associated with alcohol research (93.273), drug abuse and addiction research (93.279), and child health and human development extramural research (93.865), which reflects the cross-cutting public health relevance of teen dating violence and its intersections with substance use, development, and broader health outcomes. For full technical details, NIH pointed applicants to the archived program announcement page and provided NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts for access or linking issues.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - NIH: Research on Teen Dating Violence (R01) (PA-09-169)
What is the NIH funding opportunity PA-09-169?
PA-09-169 was an NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Research on Teen Dating Violence (R01)." It supported investigator-initiated research focused on teen dating violence (TDV), using the NIH R01 grant mechanism.
What was the main goal of this FOA?
The core aim was to strengthen the evidence base on teen dating violence by improving understanding of why TDV happens, what predicts it, and what can prevent it. The FOA emphasized research that could ultimately help reduce the incidence of dating violence among adolescents.
What kinds of studies did NIH encourage under this announcement?
NIH specifically invited behavioral and biomedical studies that deepen understanding of the etiologies and precursors of TDV, identify factors that increase or reduce risk, and inform prevention approaches.
What does "etiologies and precursors" mean in the context of TDV research?
In this FOA, it refers to research that helps explain the causes and early contributing factors of teen dating violence, including developmental, social, psychological, and potentially biological contributors that come before TDV occurs.
Did the FOA include prevention research, or only research on causes?
It included both. The announcement supported research on causes and predictors of TDV as well as evaluations of prevention and risk-reduction strategies intended to lower teen dating violence.
Did the FOA encourage research on how people respond to teen dating violence in real-world settings?
Yes. In addition to causes and prevention, the FOA highlighted the practical response landscape and encouraged research on how different groups perceive and respond to TDV, and where those perceptions align or conflict.
Which perspectives or stakeholder groups were specifically mentioned?
The FOA referenced service providers, the criminal justice system, teens themselves, victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. It emphasized understanding linkages and gaps across these perspectives that could affect outcomes.
What kinds of "linkages and gaps" was NIH interested in?
The FOA pointed to gaps that may affect reporting, intervention, accountability, safety planning, and access to appropriate support, including mismatched expectations, barriers to reporting, inconsistent institutional practices, or disconnects between teen experiences and formal systems.
What grant mechanism did this opportunity use?
This FOA used the NIH R01 mechanism, which is typically intended for mature, hypothesis-driven research projects that can support a substantial, multi-year research plan.
How is an R01 different from an R21 in the context of this topic?
The FOA noted it ran in parallel with a separate, scientifically identical announcement using the R21 mechanism (PA-09-170). R21s are generally intended for earlier-stage, exploratory or developmental work, while R01s are intended for larger and more definitive research programs.
Was PA-09-169 open for applications indefinitely?
No. The original and final closing date listed was September 7, 2012, and the archive date was October 8, 2012. That indicates the FOA is no longer open for applications.
When was this FOA originally posted?
It was posted on April 17, 2009.
Did the FOA guarantee a certain number of awards?
No. The FOA did not promise a fixed number of awards. It stated that awards would depend on the availability of appropriated funds and whether NIH received a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
What does it mean that awards were contingent on appropriated funds and meritorious applications?
It means funding decisions depended on federal budget availability and on application quality as determined through the peer review process. Even strong proposals could be affected by funding availability, and awards were not automatic.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligibility was broad. The FOA included public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), tribal governments and tribal organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses.
Were tribal entities included in the eligibility language?
Yes. The eligibility list included tribal governments and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities.
Did eligibility explicitly include specific institution types such as HBCUs or Hispanic-serving Institutions?
Yes. The eligibility language explicitly encompassed institutions and organizations including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and also included faith-based and community-based organizations and regional organizations.
Could for-profit entities apply?
Yes. The FOA included for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and it also included small businesses.
Were federal agencies eligible applicants?
Yes. The eligibility language included eligible federal agencies.
Was cost sharing or matching required?
