Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (R01) 2025

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Center for Injury Prevention and Control, has forecasted a funding opportunity titled “Research Grants for Preventing Violence and Violence Related Injury (R01).” This opportunity aims to support effectiveness research evaluating innovative programs, practices, or policies designed to reduce the risk of interpersonal violence and suicide. The focus is particularly on youth and young adult populations between the ages of 10 and 24. This initiative aligns with the CDC’s broader mission to promote public health and prevent injury, disability, and death through science-based research and community interventions. This grant targets innovative approaches that have not yet undergone rigorous evaluation for their effectiveness in reducing interpersonal violence or suicide. It encourages proposals that will analyze how the proposed interventions affect different subpopulations who disproportionately experience these types of violence or injuries. Key areas of concern include child abuse and neglect, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, suicide, and youth violence. The total estimated funding available for this opportunity is $9,600,000. Up to eight awards are expected to be made, with a maximum award ceiling of $400,000 per award. No cost sharing or matching is required for applicants, and a floor amount has not been specified. Eligible applicants span a wide array of organizational types, including government agencies at multiple levels (state, county, municipal, and tribal), educational institutions (both public and private), non-profit and for-profit organizations, and small businesses. Additional eligibility information will be provided in the official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) once published. Currently, this opportunity is listed as forecasted, with an anticipated application opening date of September 30, 2025. The submission deadline for electronically completed applications is December 1, 2025, no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The estimated award date is August 28, 2026, with funded projects expected to begin on September 30, 2026. The forecast was last updated on August 7, 2025. Applicants and interested parties can contact Samantha Case at the CDC for further information. She can be reached by phone at 907-271-1569 or via email at ncipc_erpo@cdc.gov.

Early planning and engagement with CDC resources are advised to ensure readiness upon release.
