The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting investigator-initiated
research in:

Understanding Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Violence
Perpetration and the Overlap with Bully Behavior (U49 (CE07-005)

This funding announcement can be accessed at: http://www.grants.gov/search

o The purpose of the announcement is to solicit (U49) research
applications to 1) assess the association between bullying experiences
and co-occurring and subsequent sexual violence (SV) perpetration and 2)
test associations between these forms of violence and potentially
modifiable risk and protective factors from multiple levels of social
influence (i.e., individual, family, peer, and community factors) to
determine the shared and unique risk and protective factors for bullying
experiences and SV perpetration. NOTE: Bullying experiences includes
being a perpetrator, victim, or bystander of bullying (see definitions
below). Co-occurring sexual violence perpetration refers to sexual
violence that is perpetrated in the same time period as the bullying
experiences. Subsequent sexual violence perpetration refers to sexual
violence that is perpetrated in a time period after the bullying
experiences. The sexual violence perpetration that is co-occurring or
that happens
subsequent to the bullying experiences can be perpetrated against the
same person/people or against a different person/people than those who
are involved in the bullying experiences.

o Approximately $600,000 is expected to be available.
o It is anticipated that two awards will be funded.
o Funding level will not exceed $300,000 (including both
direct and indirect costs) per year
o Project period is up to three (3) years.
o The award mechanism is a U49 cooperative agreement
