Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Violence Training and Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CE13-1305) is a discretionary CDC cooperative agreement focused on reducing youth violence in communities facing especially high risk. Youth violence is defined broadly in the announcement to include severe outcomes like homicide as well as related behaviors and contexts such as gang violence and bullying, all of which can create long-term harm for young people, families, and entire neighborhoods. Through this award, the CDC National Center for Injury Prevention and Control sought a single organization to design and deliver practical training and hands-on technical assistance to local health departments and their partner organizations working in 12 high-risk communities. The intent is to strengthen local capacity, infrastructure, and leadership so communities can implement youth violence prevention strategies grounded in the best available evidence.
This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The program falls under CFDA 93.136 (Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs). The estimated total funding amount was $3,750,000, with an award ceiling of $750,000, and CDC anticipated making one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for applicants and signals that the federal funds were intended to cover the full scope of proposed work within the approved budget.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of entities, such as nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions (as long as proposed activities were considered non-research), hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (including Alaska Native health corporations and Tribal Epidemiology Centers), urban Indian health organizations, and state/local governments or their bona fide agents, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. Despite the wide eligibility, there was a special eligibility expectation that effectively narrows the field to applicants with a demonstrated track record: the applicant needed prior experience delivering training and technical assistance to communities to build infrastructure and leadership for youth violence prevention (or another health issue) and experience helping communities implement evidence-based youth violence prevention strategies.
The timeline for this opportunity was concentrated in late spring and early summer of 2013. The opportunity was posted April 24, 2013. A letter of intent was due May 24, 2013, which typically helps the agency anticipate the volume and nature of submissions. The application deadline was set for submission through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Daylight Time, with the closing date reflected as June 26, 2013 (the original closing date noted as June 24, 2013, with the current closing date shown as June 26, 2013). The opportunity was later archived on July 24, 2013.
Overall, the grant was structured to fund an experienced provider to support local public health systems and their partners across 12 communities, focusing on the practical work of implementing proven youth violence prevention approaches rather than conducting new research. For applicants, the core competitive advantage would have been credible experience in training and technical assistance delivery at the community level, a clear plan for building local capacity and leadership, and an approach that translates evidence into on-the-ground prevention practice across multiple sites. For additional access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact point was CDC/PGO at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov.
