1. Maximizing Protective Factors for Youth Violence (U49)
(Total funds available = $400,000 for up to two awards).
* (RFA-CE-07-003)
* National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
* Application Receipt Date(s): February 28, 2007
The purpose of this program is to conduct secondary analyses of existing
data (not meta-analysis of published studies) to identify potentially
modifiable protective factors for youth violence. This research will inform
the development of youth violence prevention programs and policies by
identifying promising protective factors that reduce the likelihood of
violence in the lives of young people.
2. They'll fund up to two proposals, total available is $600K.
* Understanding Risk and Protective Factors for Sexual Violence
Perpetration and the Overlap with Bullying Behavior (U49)
* (RFA-CE-07-005)
* National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
* Application Receipt Date(s): February 21, 2007
* NCIPC is soliciting (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.
