To support Prevention Research Centers (PRCs) to perform comparative effectiveness research (CER) that compares innovative public health strategies or interventions, in new settings or populations (such as minorities or people with disabilities), and that preferably include new endpoints such as biologic measures or combined clinical and social interventions. The emphasis is to develop new scientific evidence that fills important knowledge gaps. The interventions or strategies should be policy or environmental but are expected to consider what targeted outcome(s) are anticipated and how such outcomes will be achieved and to describe how the intervention will be implemented so it can be replicated by others.

B - Cooperative Agreements

The CDC program limits eligibility only to applicants who have applied for and have been selected as PRCs under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP09-001. Competition is limited to PRCs under this CDC Program Announcement because (1) they are uniquely positioned to perform, oversee, and coordinate public health-oriented CER that promotes the field of prevention research due to their established relationships with community partners and previous experience with CER and (2) these PRCs recently competed for prevention research funding and were deemed to be the best applicants among research institutions that include all schools of public health and schools of medicine with preventive medicine residency programs. The current recipients funded under Funding Opportunity Announcement DP09-001 are: 1. Boston University 2. Case Western Reserve University 3. Columbia University 4. Dartmouth College 5. Emory University 6. Harvard University 7. Johns Hopkins University 8. Morehouse School of Medicine 9. New York University School of Medicine 10. Ohio State University 11.
