Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2003 funds for grants for Intimate Partner
Violence and Sexual Violence Injury Prevention Research. This program
addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area of Injury and Violence
Prevention. The purposes of the program are to: 1. Solicit research
applications that address the priorities reflected under the ``Programmatic
Requirements.'' 2. Build the scientific base for the prevention and control
of injuries, disabilities, and deaths. 3. Encourage professionals from a
wide spectrum of disciplines of engineering, epidemiology, medicine,
biostatistics, public health, law and criminal justice, and behavioral, and
social sciences to perform research in order to prevent and control injuries
more effectively. 4. Encourage investigators to propose research that
involves intervention development and testing as well as research on
methods, to encourage individuals, organizations, or communities to adopt
and maintain effective intervention strategies. Measurable outcomes of the
program will be in alignment with the following performance goal for the
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC): Develop new or
improved approaches for preventing and controlling death and disability due
to injuries. NCIPC is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will
help expand and advance our understanding of violence, its causes, and
prevention strategies. The following research themes are the focus of this
investigator- initiated solicitation: 1. Evaluate strategies for
disseminating and implementing evidence- based interventions or policies for
the prevention of intimate partner violence and sexual violence. 2. Evaluate
the efficacy, effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of interventions,
programs, and policies to prevent intimate partner violence and sexual
violence. 3. Identify shared and unique risk and protective factors for the
perpetration of intimate partner violence and sexual violence and examine
the relationships among these forms of violence and others such as child
maltreatment, youth violence, or suicidal behavior.

Notes: An optional letter of intent is due 03/10/03.
