Description
This opportunity supports research to evaluate innovative primary prevention programs, practices, or policies aimed at reducing interpersonal violence and suicide among youth and young adults (ages 10–24). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks effectiveness research that addresses populations experiencing a high burden of these issues. Projects should focus on evaluating approaches not previously rigorously assessed for effectiveness in reducing interpersonal violence or suicide. Priority is given to studies examining impacts on diverse and disproportionately affected populations.
Research may address child abuse and neglect, intimate partner violence (including teen dating violence), sexual violence, suicide, youth violence, and cross-cutting prevention strategies. The initiative encourages interdisciplinary approaches and community engagement throughout research design, implementation, and dissemination.
