Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 25 029
This funding opportunity (RFA CE 25 029) is a CDC National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) focused on building the next generation of independent violence prevention researchers. The grant is designed specifically as a mentored career development experience, meaning the award is not only about completing a single research project, but also about providing structured supervision, training, and professional development that helps a new or early-stage investigator grow into an independent scientist in the field of interpersonal violence prevention. The overall goal is workforce development: strengthening the pipeline of trained researchers who can answer urgent public health questions and produce evidence that reduces violence and injury.
A central requirement is that applicants propose a research project aligned with at least one priority area from the interpersonal violence prevention section of the NCIPC Research Priorities, and the project must be clearly tied to violence impacting children or youth from birth through age 17. The eligible research priority areas explicitly named in the opportunity include cross-cutting violence prevention, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence (including teen dating violence), and sexual violence. Applications are expected to make this alignment explicit by stating which research priorities are being addressed and showing how the proposed aims, methods, and expected outputs map onto those priorities.
Beyond selecting one of the core priority areas, applicants are encouraged to strengthen their proposals by addressing several additional emphases. These include studying multiple forms of violence that may co-occur or overlap in children and youth (for example, how exposure to family violence, bullying, and community violence can compound risk), examining firearm-related behavior, crime, injuries, and deaths among children and youth, and analyzing the social or structural conditions that increase risk and contribute to health inequities across population groups. In practice, this means the CDC is looking for research that goes beyond individual-level explanations and considers broader drivers such as poverty, housing instability, racism and discrimination, neighborhood conditions, school climate, access to supportive services, and other contextual factors that shape violence exposure and outcomes. Another key expectation is practical relevance: the proposed research should be positioned to inform real-world prevention and intervention strategies, so that findings can translate into actionable guidance for programs, policies, and community or clinical practice.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes many organization types rather than being limited to universities. Eligible applicants listed 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 Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when specified); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other unrestricted entities. This wide eligibility suggests the program is open to diverse institutional settings where a strong mentoring environment and relevant research infrastructure can be demonstrated.
The award falls under the health funding activity category (CFDA 93.136) and is offered as a discretionary grant. The application closing date shown is 2024-12-02. The opportunity anticipates making about 4 awards, and the listed award ceiling is $150,000. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, administered through ERA, with the opportunity created on 2024-08-30. Overall, the grant is best understood as a mentored, career-building mechanism for early investigators whose proposed research can advance CDC violence prevention priorities for children and adolescents while producing findings that can realistically inform prevention efforts and reduce inequities.Apply for RFA CE 25 029
