Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity (CDC RFA CE09-905) to establish and support a national online resource center and an e-learning Community of Practice focused on preventing violence against women. The core aim is to strengthen the prevention workforce by expanding access to practical, web-based tools and structured professional training for practitioners who work on the primary prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV). Rather than focusing on response services after violence occurs, the emphasis is on prevention strategies that reduce risk factors, promote protective factors, and apply a public health approach to stopping IPV and SV before they start.
The program is intended to increase practitioner knowledge and improve real-world prevention capacity across local, state, tribal, and national agencies and organizations. Applicants are expected to help organizations develop, implement, and evaluate IPV and SV prevention programs by providing credible online resources, training modules, and peer-learning opportunities that translate research and evidence-informed strategies into practice. A key feature is the creation or enhancement of an e-learning Community of Practice, which typically means an online environment where professionals can share resources, discuss implementation challenges, learn from one another, and build consistent approaches to prevention across jurisdictions. The announcement also notes that this effort builds on earlier CDC-funded work under FOA 04066, indicating a continuation and expansion of prior investments meant to improve how practitioners address IPV and SV using public health methods such as surveillance, risk and protective factor identification, evaluation, and dissemination of effective interventions.
Funding for fiscal year 2009 was estimated at approximately $730,000 total, with CDC expecting to make two cooperative agreement awards. The cooperative agreement mechanism signals that CDC anticipated substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on program direction, technical assistance, performance monitoring, or alignment with CDC prevention frameworks. The award floor was listed at $600,000 and the award ceiling at $730,000, suggesting relatively large awards intended to support national-level resource development and training delivery. No cost-sharing or matching requirement was indicated, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility was broad and included state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in the 501(c)(3) line item); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This range reflects CDC interest in reaching capable entities across government, academia, nonprofit service and training organizations, and certain private-sector groups that can build and maintain web-based platforms and deliver professional education at scale.
Key dates in the announcement included a posted date of April 21, 2009, with an optional or requested letter of intent due May 6, 2009, and a final application deadline of June 5, 2009. The estimated award timing was listed as prior to August 31, 2009, indicating CDC planned to obligate funds and begin project activities before the end of that fiscal period. The opportunity was cataloged under CFDA 93.136, associated with Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs, reinforcing that the prevention of IPV and SV was being treated as a public health and injury prevention priority.
Applicants were directed to consult the full funding announcement on Grants.gov for complete program requirements, expected activities, and submission instructions. For technical access issues with the announcement, CDC provided a support contact through the Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIMS) at 770-488-2700.
