Formative Research of Community-led Primary Prevention Approaches to Address Elevated Risk of Intimate Partner Violence & Sexual Violence

ID: RFA-CE-25-032 • Type: Posted

Description

Posted: Aug. 30, 2024, 12:00 a.m. EDT
The purpose of this NOFO is to build the evidence base for the prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV), including teen dating violence (TDV), and/or sexual violence (SV), in communities experiencing elevated risk of IPV/SV, including but not limited to racial/ethnic minority groups, sexual and gender minority groups, and people with disabilities. This NOFO seeks proposals to support formative research of primary prevention approaches (i.e., policies programs, or practices). Formative research involves the use of qualitative and quantitative methods to strengthen the components of the prevention approach (e.g., design and implementation, appropriateness, and acceptability), and components of the evaluation activities (e.g., instrument development, implementation evaluation, recruitment, and retention, and pilot studies). This funding opportunity will support formative research that builds capacity for a future rigorous evaluation of the selected primary prevention approach. The prevention approach selected for formative research and pilot study must be community-led, which means the approach was developed with substantial input from communities that face inequitable risk for IPV and/or SV and is being implemented in a community-based setting. IPV and/or SV prevention approaches are strongly encouraged at the community or societal levels, including those that address social determinants of health. Research activities should include at least one element of both the formative evaluation and implementation evaluation. Formative evaluation activities may include but are not limited to using mixed methods for data collection (i.e., quantitative and qualitative methods) to assess the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of the prevention approach. Implementation evaluation activities may include but are not limited to using to using mixed methods to assess the reach, dosage, and fidelity of the prevention approach. All projects are required to conduct a pilot study, also referred to as a pilot test or effectiveness evaluation, to assess the preliminary efficacy or effectiveness of the primary prevention approach by examining changes in IPV and/or SV outcomes.

Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled 'Formative Research of Community-led Primary Prevention Approaches to Address Elevated Risk of Intimate Partner Violence & Sexual Violence' (RFA-CE-25-032).

This NOFO aims to build the evidence base for preventing intimate partner violence (IPV), including teen dating violence (TDV), and sexual violence (SV) in communities that are at elevated risk, particularly among racial/ethnic minority groups, sexual and gender minority groups, and individuals with disabilities.

The goal is to support formative research that enhances the design, implementation, and evaluation of community-led prevention strategies.

Grant Details
The funding opportunity supports formative research that utilizes qualitative and quantitative methods to strengthen prevention approaches.

Key tasks include:
- Conducting formative evaluations to assess feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability;
- Implementing evaluations to assess reach, dosage, and fidelity;
- Conducting pilot studies to evaluate preliminary efficacy or effectiveness by examining changes in IPV/SV outcomes.

All projects must be community-led, meaning they are developed with significant input from affected communities and implemented in community settings. The research must include elements of both formative evaluation and implementation evaluation.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include institutions/organizations that can demonstrate the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources for conducting the proposed research. Underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. Applications may name multiple principal investigators but must designate one as the contact PD/PI.

Period of Performance
The estimated period of performance spans from September 30, 2025, to September 29, 2028.

Grant Value
CDC intends to commit up to $750,000 in FY 2025 to fund up to two applications. The total funding for the entire period of performance is estimated at $1,125,000.

Place of Performance
The grant will be performed in community-based settings where the selected prevention approaches are implemented.
