The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA is offering a federal grant for the rigorous evaluation of community- and societal-level primary prevention approaches to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). This grant aims to support investigator-initiated research to evaluate policies and programs that prevent ACEs. The research should focus on prevention approaches at the community- or societal-level, addressing social and health inequities that increase the risk of ACEs for certain populations. The funding will be used to evaluate existing primary prevention approaches that have not yet undergone rigorous evaluation or are not currently undergoing a rigorous outcome evaluation. The research should contribute to expanding the evidence base for ACEs prevention in areas such as ensuring a strong start for children, promoting social norms that protect against violence and adversity, and strengthening economic supports to families. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The estimated total program funding is $2,700,000, with an award ceiling of $450,000. It is expected that two awards will be granted. The application deadline is December 2, 2024, and the estimated award date is September 30, 2025. For more information and eligibility requirements, please refer to the grant notice.
