Deadline: 10 March 2017
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research that will help expand and advance understanding about what works to prevent violence by rigorously evaluating primary prevention strategies, programs, and policies to address specific gaps in the prevention of teen dating violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence and youth violence. This initiative is intended to support primary prevention strategies, programs or policies that target universal or selected high-risk populations (i.e., populations that have one or more risk factors that place them at heightened risk for initial perpetration of violence).
The proposed program of research addresses the Healthy People 2020 priority area of injury and violence prevention and is in alignment with NCIPC’s performance goal to conduct a targeted program of research to prevent injuries and violence, and reduce their consequences. The intent of the NCIPC extramural violence prevention research program is to:
- Build the scientific base for the prevention of violence by helping to expand and advance our understanding of the primary prevention of violence.
- Encourage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health economics, law, and criminal justice to perform research in order to prevent violence more effectively.
