(p. 6 of the PDF)  Eligible applicant organizations may submit more than one application to this NOFO, provided that each application is scientifically distinct.

The purpose of this announcement is to fund rigorous evaluation research projects that will expand the evidence base of proven prevention approaches for those most at risk of experiencing community violence, including youth, racial and ethnic minority groups, and disadvantaged or underserved groups. Research will evaluate community-centered prevention approaches implemented or planned for implementation in communities to reduce community violence victimization or perpetration, including severe forms of violence such as homicides, firearmrelated violence, and violence-related hospitalizations. Community-centered approaches are programs, policies, or practices that include and prioritize community members as key producers of knowledge, designating the community as an important decision-maker. Such communitycentered violence prevention approaches are feasible and acceptable to implement in one or more geographically defined communities experiencing high rates of violence. The results from this research will inform efforts to eliminate racial, ethnic, and economic inequities that increase risk for community violence across the country. Applicants must propose to rigorously evaluate a community violence prevention approach that is currently implemented or planned for implementation in a proposed community(ies).
