Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 23 003
This grant opportunity, RFA CE 23 003, is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). It uses the Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) mechanism to support early-stage or new investigators who are building a long-term research career focused on preventing violence and injury. The core idea is to fund a structured, intensive career development period where the applicant works under the close guidance of an experienced mentor (or mentoring team) to strengthen their research skills, produce publishable findings, and move toward research independence in the field of interpersonal violence prevention affecting children and youth.
The funded work must center on violence impacting children and youth from birth through age 17, and applicants are required to propose a research project aligned with at least one priority area listed in the interpersonal violence prevention section of NCIPC Research Priorities (referenced at www.cdc.gov/injury/researchpriorities/index.html). The priority topics explicitly named in the opportunity include cross-cutting violence prevention research, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence as it relates to teens (including teen dating violence), and sexual violence. In practice, this means proposed projects should directly contribute to the evidence base on what drives these forms of violence, what protects against them, how to prevent them, and how to translate findings into stronger prevention approaches that can reduce harm for children and adolescents.
Beyond the required alignment with at least one of the listed priority areas, the CDC also signals several encouraged emphases. Applicants are encouraged to study multiple overlapping forms of violence impacting children or youth, recognizing that victimization and exposure often co-occur and may share risk and protective factors. The opportunity also encourages work on firearm-related behavior, crime, injuries, and deaths among children and youth, which can include prevention-oriented research connected to exposure, access, community conditions, and injury outcomes. Another encouraged focus is research that examines social or structural conditions contributing to violence and to health inequities across population groups, pointing toward work that considers how factors like neighborhood conditions, economic instability, discrimination, systemic barriers, and unequal access to resources can shape risk, protection, and outcomes. Taken together, these encouraged areas suggest the CDC is looking for projects that are not only technically strong but also attentive to real-world context and disparities in violence exposure and impact.
The grant is designed to build scientific capacity, not just to fund a single study. The K01 structure emphasizes mentored training and professional growth, typically involving a clear career development plan alongside the research plan. The intent is that the awardee will gain advanced competencies in violence prevention science (such as study design, measurement, analytic approaches, implementation or evaluation methods, and responsible conduct of research), generate meaningful outputs (presentations, manuscripts, tools, or datasets), and be positioned to compete successfully for future independent funding. This career-building purpose is central to the CDCs rationale: ensuring there is a strong pipeline of trained researchers who can answer urgent public health questions about preventing interpersonal violence and its consequences for children and adolescents.
In terms of basic funding facts provided, the award ceiling is $150,000, and the CDC anticipated making about 4 awards under this announcement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.136 and falls under the health funding activity category. The posting lists an original closing date of January 4, 2023, with the note that electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the application due date. The opportunity record shows a creation date of October 5, 2022.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could host a mentored investigator and administer the award. 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 Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The listing also notes that eligibility is generally unrestricted across the included entity types, subject to any additional clarifications referenced in the full announcement.
Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at strengthening the national capacity for rigorous, prevention-focused research on interpersonal violence affecting children and youth. It prioritizes projects that fit within the CDCs established violence prevention research priorities and that can be carried out within a strong mentoring environment, with the longer-term goal of helping new investigators become independent researchers who can lead future studies and contribute durable, policy- and practice-relevant evidence to reduce violence and its impacts.Apply for RFA CE 23 003
