CDC National Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (YVPCs): Rigorous Evaluation of Prevention Approaches to Prevent and Reduce Youth Violence
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) seeks investigator-initiated research proposals to expand the evidence base for the prevention of violence among youth aged 10 to 24 years. The purpose of this announcement is to fund the National Centers of Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention (or Youth Violence Prevention Centers; YVPCs) to continue to build the evidence-base for youth violence prevention approaches, build strong community collaboration and engagement to inform the research, and support training for early career researchers. The proposed YVPCs should focus activities on communities with rates of youth violence that are higher than the national average. The YVPCs will address four core elements: 1) Administrative Capacity: YPCS should establish a strong administrative infrastructure within the YVPC to support the effective implementation and evaluation of prevention approaches and the translation and dissemination of results. 2) Research and Rigorous Evaluation: YVPCs should conduct a rigorous evaluation of at least two distinct violence prevention approaches. These approaches must address at least t Awards up to $1,200,000.
