To: Children's Program Researchers...
The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (part of CDC) has
just issued a program announcement for proposals on Youth Violence
Prevention through Community-Level Change (U-49). I have included a brief
summary and the link to the complete guidelines below. (Please don't worry
about the sections that refer to the need to register for electronic
submission. NBER is already registered, we have submitted several rounds
of electronic submissions, and we can guide you through.)
If you would like to discuss possible research topics, Jon Gruber would be
happy to hear from you. For this program announcement, NCIPC intends to
make two awards of up to $500K per year for up to 5 years.
If you would like to learn more about what is involved in preparing this
type of proposal and how we can help, let me know. I look forward to
working with you.

Violence Prevention through Community-Level Change (U49)
(RFA-CE-08-001)
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
Application Receipt Date(s): February 05, 2008
The purpose of the program is to announce the availability of fiscal year
(FY) 2008 funds for a cooperative agreement to assess the efficacy or
effectiveness of interventions designed to change community characteristics
and social processes to reduce rates of youth violence perpetration and
victimization. Youth violence has been linked to a variety of factors,
including individual, family, community, and societal characteristics.
Although much research has been conducted on interventions to change the
characteristics of individuals and families, fewer interventions have
focused on changing variables at the broader community level. Funds are
available to examine the effects of a community-level intervention on rates
of youth violence. Funds are intended to support new evaluations rather
than to supplement or support long-term extensions of existing
effectiveness studies of community-level interventions. This program
addresses the Healthy People 2010focus area(s) of Injury and Violence
Prevention.
