Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 23 006
This grant opportunity, titled Research Grants to Rigorously Evaluate Innovative and Promising Strategies to Prevent Firearm-Related Violence and Injuries (R01), comes from the 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), also known as the Injury Center. The program is seeking investigator-initiated research projects that move beyond describing the problem and instead rigorously test whether specific strategies actually work to prevent firearm-related harm. The emphasis is on strong evaluation of interventions that are innovative or show promise, with the end goal of producing credible evidence that can help protect individuals, families, schools, and communities from firearm-related violence, injuries, deaths, and firearm-related crime.
The scope of firearm-related violence and injury covered by this announcement is broad. It explicitly includes mass shooting incidents, firearm homicides and assaults, firearm suicides and self-harm, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and firearm-related crime. In practical terms, applicants are being asked to design and carry out studies that can credibly estimate the impact of a prevention strategy across one or more of these domains, using sound methods and clear outcome measures. The core theme is effectiveness: whether a strategy leads to measurable reductions in shootings, injuries, deaths, attempts, or related harms, and under what conditions those results occur.
The funding mechanism is a discretionary grant under an R01-style research award, which commonly supports substantial, hypothesis-driven public health research led by investigators. The opportunity is identified as RFA CE 23 006 and is aligned with the health funding activity category under CFDA number 93.136. The CDC indicates an intention to make around 12 awards, with an award ceiling of $650,000. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date listed, with the original closing date noted as February 20, 2023. These details signal a competitive federal research program designed to fund a limited number of relatively well-developed evaluation studies.
Eligibility is wide, reflecting the cross-sector nature of firearm injury prevention work and the variety of settings where interventions may be implemented and evaluated. 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 and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the opportunity text. In effect, the CDC is allowing applications from public agencies, academic institutions, community-based organizations, tribal entities, and private-sector partners, which supports projects that require real-world implementation sites and partnerships.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to strengthen the evidence base on what reduces firearm-related violence and injury by funding studies that can stand up to scrutiny and inform policy and practice. Rather than focusing on general awareness or descriptive research alone, the CDC is prioritizing evaluation work that can identify which prevention strategies are effective, for whom, and in which contexts, so that communities and decision-makers can invest in approaches that are more likely to save lives and reduce harm.Apply for RFA CE 23 006
