Opportunity Summary:
The NIH funding opportunity PA 13-368, titled "Research on the Health Determinants and Consequences of Violence and its Prevention, Particularly Firearm Violence (R03)," is a discretionary grant program designed to support small, focused research projects that build knowledge about violence as a public health issue and about what works to prevent it. The announcement is intentionally broad and aligns with the missions of multiple NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices, which means it can support a wide range of scientific approaches as long as they connect clearly to health determinants, health outcomes, and prevention strategies related to violence. Although the scope includes many forms of violence and prevention research, the FOA signals special interest in studies that examine where firearms intersect with different types of violence, including homicide, suicide, youth and gang-related violence, and intimate partner violence.
In terms of what kinds of studies NIH is looking for, the FOA explicitly welcomes work across the full research pipeline. That includes basic neuroscience and basic behavioral research that can clarify underlying mechanisms and risk processes; clinical and translational studies that connect those mechanisms to real-world health outcomes; and intervention development at multiple levels, such as interventions aimed at individuals, families, or communities. The opportunity also supports efficacy trials when they are grounded in evidence that comes out of basic and translational research, and it extends further into dissemination and implementation research, meaning studies that test how to deliver proven interventions effectively in real-world settings, where constraints like staffing, cost, policy, and community acceptance often determine whether an intervention actually reduces harm at scale. Taken together, the FOA is structured to fund work that can move from understanding why violence happens and how it affects health to testing practical strategies that reduce injury, death, and broader health consequences.
The award mechanism is the R03, which is typically used by NIH for short-term, limited-scope projects that can be completed relatively quickly and can generate early evidence, pilot data, or proof-of-concept findings. In practice, R03 projects often serve as an entry point for newer lines of inquiry, the development of novel measures or analytic approaches, or early testing of intervention components before a larger clinical or community trial. For a topic area as complex and multi-determined as violence, an R03 can be a way to test a clearly defined research question, evaluate feasibility, or produce preliminary results that can justify a larger subsequent application.
Eligibility is broad across domestic organizations. Eligible applicants include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status, with certain conditions), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. A wide range of government entities can apply as well, including state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, along with public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities. The FOA also clarifies additional eligible applicants such as historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander serving institutions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, foreign institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed under this announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2017, and an archive date of February 7, 2017, meaning it is no longer accepting applications. It falls under multiple CFDA program areas, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of the topic, including mental health research, alcohol research, drug abuse and addiction research, minority health and health disparities research, womens health research, and child health and human development extramural research. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The funding agency is the National Institutes of Health, and the full archived announcement is available through the NIH grants guide at the link provided in the source. For access or technical problems with the announcement, NIH directs applicants to the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact listed in the posting.
FAQs: NIH PA 13-368 (R03) - Research on the Health Determinants and Consequences of Violence and its Prevention, Particularly Firearm Violence
What is PA 13-368?
PA 13-368 is an NIH funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "Research on the Health Determinants and Consequences of Violence and its Prevention, Particularly Firearm Violence (R03)." It is a discretionary grant program intended to support small, focused research projects that build knowledge about violence as a public health issue and about what works to prevent it.
What is the main purpose of this funding opportunity?
The FOA is designed to fund research that links violence to health determinants and health outcomes and that develops or tests prevention strategies. It is structured to support work that can move from understanding why violence happens and how it affects health to testing practical strategies that reduce injury, death, and broader health consequences.
Is this FOA limited to firearm violence only?
No. The announcement is intentionally broad and can support research on many forms of violence and prevention. However, it signals special interest in studies that examine where firearms intersect with different types of violence.
What firearm-related topics are specifically highlighted?
