Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 23 005
The Research Grants to Inform Firearm-Related Violence and Injury Prevention Strategies (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-CE-23-005) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), administered through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), also known as the CDC Injury Center. It supports investigator-initiated research projects designed to directly inform, refine, or improve real-world prevention strategies aimed at reducing the overall burden of firearm-related violence and injuries in the United States. The emphasis is on producing evidence that can be used to shape or strengthen prevention programs, policies, or practices with clear potential to substantially reduce firearm-related harms, particularly in populations or settings that face elevated risk.
For this funding announcement, "firearm-related violence" is defined broadly rather than focusing on a single type of incident. Covered topics include mass shooting incidents, firearm homicides and assaults, firearm suicides and self-harm, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and firearm-related crime. In practical terms, the grant is meant to back research that can help decision-makers and practitioners understand what works, for whom, and under what conditions, so that prevention strategies can be improved and implemented more effectively. The framing makes it clear that projects should have a direct line of sight to prevention impact, not just descriptive surveillance or background research, with the end goal of reducing injuries, deaths, and related criminal outcomes linked to firearm use.
The award mechanism is a grant under the health funding activity category (CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.136). The opportunity was created on December 6, 2022, with an original application deadline of February 20, 2023, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date. CDC anticipated making about 9 awards under this announcement, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $650,000 per award, indicating support for substantial research efforts that can generate actionable findings.
Eligibility is intentionally broad, reflecting an interest in drawing strong proposals from many sectors that can contribute to prevention-focused research. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, and township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories as specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the additional eligibility information. This wide eligibility pool suggests the CDC is open to multidisciplinary and cross-sector research teams, including academic, governmental, nonprofit, tribal, and private-sector applicants, as long as the proposed work fits the purpose of generating evidence that can directly improve firearm injury and violence prevention strategies.
Overall, the core intent of RFA-CE-23-005 is to fund rigorous, investigator-driven studies that move beyond documenting the problem and instead produce practical knowledge that can be translated into improved prevention programs, policies, and practices. The opportunity prioritizes research with a credible pathway to measurable reductions in firearm-related violence, injury, death, or firearm-related crime, especially in higher-risk communities or settings where the potential public health impact is greatest.Apply for RFA CE 23 005
