The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC, Injury Center) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to understand and prevent firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime. For the purposes of this announcement, firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime include mass shooting incidents, other firearm homicides/assaults, firearm suicides/self-harm, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and firearm-related crime. The intent of this announcement is to support research to help inform the development of innovative and promising opportunities to enhance safety and prevent firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime, and to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of innovative and promising strategies to keep individuals, families, schools, and communities safe from firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime.

Research funded under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) RFA-CE-20-006 is intended to directly improve understanding of firearm-related violence and promising prevention approaches by supporting activities under one or both of the following two Research Objectives:

  • Objective One: Research to help inform the development of innovative and promising opportunities to enhance safety and prevent firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime.
  • Objective Two: Research to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of innovative and promising strategies to keep individuals, families, schools, and communities safe from firearm-related injuries, deaths, and crime.

In addition to having two research objectives related to scientific intent, this NOFO offers two funding options to address the research objectives. Applicants may submit a research proposal under either Funding Option A or Funding Option B.

  • Funding Option A will support research projects that rely on existing data and do not support implementation of prevention activities. These projects will be funded up to $350K/year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance for up to 2 years.
  • Funding Option B will support research projects that require support for new data collection activities and/or the implementation of prevention activities. These projects will be funded will be funded up to $650K/year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance for up to 3 years.
