Description

The purpose of this NOFO is to build on the previous RPE NOFO, CDC-RFA-CE19-1902, by continuing to enhance the capacity of state and territorial health departments (hereafter referred to as SHDs) to facilitate and monitor the implementation of sexual violence (SV) prevention programs, practices, and policies. This five-year funding opportunity requires that recipients build infrastructure for SV prevention; develop/enhance a state/territory action plan; implement community- and societal-level SV prevention strategies that promote health equity; and utilize data to inform action. Completing these activities should lead to increased capacity to promote health equity, capacity to implement/evaluate SV prevention at the community- and societal-levels, increased partner and community awareness of effective prevention strategies, and increased partner coordination to prevent SV. Completion of these activities should also result in increased community-level implementation of SV prevention strategies, implementation of prevention strategies that reach high-burden communities and address social determinants of health (SDOH), use of data to understand inequities, and monitoring and evaluation activities related to SV prevention. The activities outlined in this NOFO will build the foundation for recipients to decrease rates of SV perpetration and victimization at the state/territory level and reduce disparities in SV by addressing associated inequities in social and structural determinants of health.
Background
The purpose of this NOFO is to build on the previous RPE NOFO, CDC-RFA-CE19-1902, by continuing to enhance the capacity of state and territorial health departments (SHDs) to facilitate and monitor the implementation of sexual violence (SV) prevention programs, practices, and policies. This funding opportunity aims to promote health equity and prevent sexual violence by addressing social factors like poverty and discrimination that contribute to the prevalence of these factors. Additionally, it urges recipients to foster meaningful engagement and coordination among health departments and territories while building sustainable infrastructure.

Grant Details
This five-year funding opportunity requires that recipients build infrastructure for SV prevention; develop/enhance a state/territory action plan; implement community- and societal-level SV prevention strategies that promote health equity; and utilize data to inform action. Recipients are expected to achieve short-term outcomes within the first two years of the project, including increased capacity to implement and evaluate primary prevention of SV at the community- and societal- levels within SHDs, increased partner awareness of states/territories efforts to prevent SV, increased community-level implementation of SV prevention strategies, and increased access and use of data to understand inequities within populations and communities with disproportionately high rates of SV.
Recipients are also expected to achieve intermediate outcomes within three to five years of the project, including increased reach of prevention strategies that impact communities with high rates of SV, increase in protective factors associated with SV perpetration and victimization, and increased use of data-driven decision-making to reduce inequities impacting populations with high rates of SV.
