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

Application Due Date: December 2, 2024

The purpose of this NOFO is to build the evidence base for the prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV), including teen dating violence, and/or sexual violence (SV) in communities experiencing elevated risk of IPV/SV (i.e., people with shared social and structural conditions that create elevated risk). These communities include but are 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 innovative primary prevention approaches (i.e., policies, programs, or practices) that address inequities in IPV and/or SV.

Rigorously Evaluating Primary Prevention Strategies for Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence

Application Due Date: December 2, 2024

This proposal aims at building the evidence base for the primary prevention of intimate partner violence, including teen dating violence, and/or sexual violence. This funding opportunity will support rigorous outcome evaluations of promising practice-based prevention approaches that are currently being implemented by state and/or local organizations that address intimate partner violence and/or sexual violence. This includes, but is not limited to, organizations that receive funding under CDC’s Rape Prevention and Education Program and CDC’s DELTA AHEAD program. By promising practice-based approaches we mean programs, policies, or practices that can demonstrate the following: (a) Evidence of implementation in the field for a minimum of two years; and (b) Collection of prior positive implementation-related outcomes (e.g., data demonstrating reach, fidelity, availability, and/or acceptability of the approach) and/or collection of outcome monitoring data before and after implementing the approach that demonstrate positive changes in relevant outcomes. Research on promising practice-based prevention approaches will evaluate the effectiveness of prevention approaches that already have traction within the field but have not been rigorously evaluated.

Examples include classes for expecting or parenting teens, mental health support, nutrition courses, and more.
