CDC Research Funding Opportunity Announcement
On December 1, 2015, CDC released RFA-CE-16-001, Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (RO1). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) intends to commit up to $1,050,000 in Fiscal Year 2016 to support up to three awards. NCIPC is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance knowledge in two areas: 1) how best to disseminate, implement, and translate evidence-based primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies designed to reduce child abuse and neglect; and 2) what works to prevent violence by rigorously evaluating primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies to address specific gaps in the prevention of child abuse and neglect, teen dating violence, adult intimate partner violence, or sexual violence. The funding opportunity announcement can be found at www.grants.gov.
Violence is a significant public health problem in the United States. Each year, more than 55,000 people in this country die as a result of violence, and more than 2,000,000 are treated in emergency departments for a violence-related injury. The CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention is committed to stopping violence before it begins (i.e., primary prevention).
