Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 22 002
This funding opportunity, RFA CE 22 002, is a CDC National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) focused on building the next generation of violence prevention researchers. The core goal is career development: it provides structured, intensive, supervised research training under mentorship so that new or early-stage investigators can grow into independent scientists. In other words, the grant is designed not only to fund a specific study, but also to support the applicant's transition toward research independence in the field of interpersonal violence prevention as a public health priority.
The research scope is specifically tied to preventing interpersonal violence that affects children and youth from birth through age 17. Applicants must propose a research project that aligns with at least one priority area listed in the NCIPC Interpersonal Violence Prevention Research Priorities. Those required priority areas include cross-cutting violence prevention (work that can apply across multiple violence types or settings), child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence as it relates to teens (often framed as teen dating violence), and sexual violence. The emphasis is on research that answers critical public health questions and can strengthen prevention strategies, programs, policies, or systems that reduce violence and related injury.
Beyond the required alignment with at least one priority area, the CDC also signals several encouraged directions that can strengthen an application. These include research that considers multiple forms of violence impacting children or youth (for example, overlapping exposure to family violence and community violence), firearm-related behavior, crime, injuries, and deaths among children and youth, and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or closely related constructs, particularly when treated as secondary outcomes. Applicants are also encouraged to address the social and structural conditions that contribute to violence and to health inequities across different population groups, reflecting a clear interest in upstream drivers such as neighborhood conditions, economic hardship, systemic inequities, access to supports, and other contextual factors that shape risk and protection.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the health funding category (CFDA 93.136) offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The application cycle described in the source data shows a creation date of November 5, 2021, with an original closing date of January 5, 2022, and an electronic submission deadline of 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the due date. The expected number of awards is seven, and the listed award ceiling is $150,000 (as presented in the opportunity summary).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions where specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as described in the opportunity's additional eligibility details. This broad eligibility suggests the CDC is open to supporting mentored career development for investigators working in a wide range of institutional settings, as long as the proposed mentored research and training plan fits the violence prevention priorities focused on children and youth.Apply for RFA CE 22 002
