THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth Violence, Community Violence, Violence Prevention, Gun Violence, Research
Deadline: Mar. 22, 2022
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is soliciting research proposals to expand the evidence base for the prevention and reduction of community violence, including youth violence and violence among young adults. Community violence is violence between individuals who are unrelated, and who may or may not know each other, generally taking place outside the home. Examples of community violence include youth violence, such as assaults or fights among groups, and shootings in public areas such as schools and on the streets.
The purpose of this announcement is to fund rigorous evaluation research projects that will expand the evidence base of proven prevention approaches for those most at risk of experiencing community violence, including youth, racial and ethnic minority groups, and disadvantaged or underserved groups. Research will evaluate community-centered prevention approaches implemented or planned for implementation in communities to reduce community violence victimization or perpetration, including severe forms of violence such as homicides, firearm-related violence, and violence-related hospitalizations.
Applicants must propose to rigorously evaluate a community violence prevention approach that is currently implemented or planned for implementation in a proposed community(ies). Applicants must propose to evaluate an approach from one of two categories:
(1) evidence-based prevention approaches that are significantly or substantially different from the original approach, evaluate key implementation factors that might drive the program effectiveness, or examine additional community violence outcomes that have not been evaluated previously; or
(2) an innovative prevention approach that has never undergone a rigorous evaluation.”
