Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC or the Injury Center) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of innovative and promising approaches to prevent all forms of firearm-related injuries, deaths, violence, or crime without infringing on the rights of legal firearm owners. For this announcement such forms include: Mass shooting incidents, Defensive gun use incidents, Firearm-related homicides and assaults, Firearm-related suicides and self-harm, Unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, Firearm-related crime. This NOFO offers Funding Option A or B to address the research objective. Applicants may submit a research proposal under either Funding Option A or B (not both). Funding Option A will support research projects that rely on existing data to evaluate effectiveness and that do not support implementing prevention activities. These projects will be funded up to $350,000 per year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance up to 2 years. Funding Option B will support research projects that require new data collection and/or implementation of prevention activities to evaluate effectiveness. These projects will be funded up to $650,000 per year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance up to 3 years. Investigations could, for example , conduct research to evaluate the effectiveness and/or test the effects of scaling up, expanding, or improving approaches: 1) To prevent mass shooting incidents, suicide/self-harm firearm injuries, firearm-related assaults and homicides, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and firearm-related crime; 2) To study defensive gun use as a strategy for prevention of injuries, deaths, and crime 3) For different population groups (e.g., children, youth, young adults, active-duty military/veterans, rural communities, tribal populations, and those at risk of harming themselves or others, including in situations of family and intimate partner violence); 4) For different settings (e.g., rural/urban, home, school, neighborhood, community, online) that can be leveraged to prevent firearm-related injuries and crime; 5) For addressing various individual, peer/family, community and societal risk and protective factors including approaches that address the community factors that contribute to firearm-related injuries, violence, deaths, and crime.

The purpose of the R01 grant program is to (1) improve understanding of the risks and conditions associated with occupational diseases and injuries, (2) identify and evaluate methods to reduce risks and prevent or minimize exposure to hazardous workplace conditions, and (3) translate scientific findings into practical prevention strategies, interventions, and products that reduce work-related illnesses and injuries. The Research Project Grant (R01) supports a discrete, specified research project in scientific areas that reflect the investigator's expertise and interests and that align with the mission of NIOSH. Applicants must concisely describe the occupational health problem their proposal addresses and explain how the proposed research activities will lead to outputs that help address this problem. Applicants should clearly describe the expected impacts of the proposed research, both during the project period and beyond.

Established in 1985, the Department of War Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program funds U.S. academic research teams to conduct high-impact basic research that addresses future challenges faced by the Department of War. The MURI program specifically supports U.S. university teams investigating complex, DoW-relevant problem sets at the intersection of multiple scientific disciplines. MURI teams bring together world-class faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students - helping to develop a technically advanced, defense-aware scientific workforce and strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports research to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate technology-driven and cost-effective tools that reduce the global human rabies burden. It also measures progress toward canine rabies elimination, with an emphasis on high-burden countries. Priority research areas include: Electronic systems for tracking human and dog rabies vaccinations. Managing human rabies exposure investigations. Enhancing rabies laboratory information management systems. Modeling the economic impact of dog-mediated rabies interventions. Estimating rabies-susceptible dog populations. The research is intended to generate data-driven strategies that help accelerate progress toward global canine rabies elimination and protect public health.
