Opportunity Summary:
The Striving To Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere (STRYVE) Through Local Public Health Leadership grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-CE11-1108) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to help local public health departments take a leading role in preventing youth violence in communities at elevated risk. The program centers on using comprehensive youth violence prevention approaches grounded in the best available evidence, and it emphasizes a coordinated public health response rather than isolated, short-term interventions. Through this cooperative agreement structure, CDC pairs funding with hands-on support, including STRYVE tools, training, and technical assistance, so awardees can strengthen local infrastructure and improve the quality and consistency of prevention planning and implementation.
The intent of the award is for local, city, or county health departments to convene and lead a multi-sector coalition within a high-risk community. This coalition is expected to represent the different systems and settings that influence youth outcomes, reflecting the idea that youth violence is shaped by multiple, interacting factors. The coalition-led work is organized around several core deliverables. First, awardees develop a comprehensive youth violence prevention plan that is tailored to the local context and informed by evidence. Second, awardees implement feasible programs, policies, and practices aligned with that plan, with an expectation that strategies will operate across multiple levels of the social-ecological model (for example, individual skills-building, family supports, school and neighborhood initiatives, and community or policy-level changes). Third, awardees track and measure improvements in organizational and community capacity, focusing on whether partners are becoming better equipped to plan, coordinate, and carry out prevention work over time.
A major component of STRYVE is the expectation of strong evaluation and continuous learning. Awardees must develop an evaluation plan that does two things at once: it monitors implementation of the overall comprehensive prevention plan, and it also captures process measures for selected programs, policies, and/or practices being rolled out during the project. In addition, the evaluation is expected to include multiple indicators of youth violence, so progress can be tracked with more than a single metric and stakeholders can understand what is changing and where. Alongside evaluation, awardees must create a sustainability plan that clearly identifies the financial, human, and time resources required to continue implementing the prevention plan, maintain the coalition itself, and sustain the strategies that prove successful during the project period. In practice, this means the grant is not only about launching activities, but also about building staying power so the work can continue after federal funding ends.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and used a cooperative agreement instrument under the health funding activity category. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). CDC anticipated making 4 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall within a relatively narrow range, with an award floor of $210,000 and an award ceiling of $225,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible health departments that may have limited ability to provide non-federal contributions.
Eligibility was aimed specifically at local, city, and county public health departments serving urban, suburban, or rural areas. The announcement also allowed for submission by a bona fide agent when a state has designated an agency or organization to apply on behalf of a state or local government entity. Applicants using the bona fide agent route were required to provide a legal, binding agreement from the relevant government documenting that status, submitted as part of the application package via Grants.gov.
Key dates in the original posting show this was a time-limited 2011 funding cycle. The opportunity was posted May 3, 2011, with a letter of intent due May 24, 2011. The application deadline was June 13, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, and the archive date was July 13, 2011. For applicant support, CDC listed the Procurement and Grants Office TIMS contact point (telephone 770-488-2700, email PGOTIM@cdc.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement or resolving submission issues.
Overall, STRYVE Through Local Public Health Leadership is structured to move communities beyond fragmented prevention efforts by putting local public health departments in a convening and accountability role, supporting cross-sector coordination, requiring evidence-based and multi-level strategies, and making evaluation and sustainability central expectations rather than afterthoughts.
