Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled Youth Violence Prevention through Economic, Environmental, and Policy Change (U01) under Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-09-009. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (U01), which typically means CDC expects an active partnership with awardees during the project period rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The overall aim is squarely focused on reducing youth violence, and not just through individual-level programs, but by testing broader community-level changes that can influence violence rates across whole neighborhoods or cities.
The purpose of the opportunity is to assess the efficacy or effectiveness of policies and other interventions that change the economic or environmental characteristics of a community in ways that could reduce youth violence perpetration and victimization. In practice, this points to interventions that reshape the conditions around young people rather than only trying to change individual behavior. The announcement emphasizes evaluating policy, environmental, and economic strategies, which can include approaches such as local policy reforms, community economic supports, changes to the built environment, or other structural interventions that plausibly affect youth violence trends. A key expectation is that applicants will not only implement or observe these strategies, but also rigorously assess whether they work, meaning strong evaluation designs, credible measurement of violence outcomes, and attention to real-world implementation.
Funding for fiscal year 2009 was estimated at approximately $1,000,000 total, with CDC expecting to make 2 awards. The implied scale is up to $500,000 per award (the listed award ceiling is $500,000). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. The program falls under CFDA 93.136, Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs, signaling that CDC views this as part of its broader injury and violence prevention research and practice portfolio.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that might be positioned to work on community-level prevention: small businesses; nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education); state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); and other Native American tribal organizations. For-profit organizations other than small businesses are also eligible. This range suggests CDC wanted to encourage applications from research institutions, public agencies, tribal entities, and community or private-sector partners capable of implementing and evaluating policy or environmental interventions.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects a standard federal cycle for that period. The opportunity was posted on November 25, 2008, with a creation date of December 12, 2008. A letter of intent was due January 26, 2009, and the application closing date was February 23, 2009. The archive date was March 25, 2009, meaning the announcement was formally closed and archived after that point. The estimated funding date was August 31, 2009, indicating when CDC anticipated making awards or beginning funding.
For applicants or interested parties needing the complete requirements, the full announcement was hosted on the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/CE09-009.htm. For access issues, CDC directed people to contact the PGOTIMS Technical Information Management Section by phone at 770-488-2700.
