Funding-Limited Submission: CDC - Grants for Injury Control Research Centers (CDC - RFA-CE-14-001); June 20, 2013

The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is seeking applications from qualified organizations for Injury Control Research Center (ICRC) grants. These centers will conduct high quality research and help translate scientific discoveries into practice for the prevention and control of fatal and nonfatal injuries, violence, and related disabilities that support NCIPC’s priorities and mission. The new FOA will fund ICRC applications in two categories: 1) comprehensive centers and 2) developmental centers. The comprehensive center awards are similar in scope to the currently funded ICRCs.  The developmental center awards are smaller in scope than the comprehensive center awards and are designed to build capacity in core activities and infrastructure with a smaller portion of the award devoted to research activities. They will be reviewed separately from the comprehensive center applications and will be made to institutions that have never been successfully funded under NCIPC’s ICRC grant program.

Amount: NCIPC intends to fund up to five applications: three comprehensive center awards (maximum $900,000 total funds per year for five years) and two developmental centers (maximum of $450,000 total funds per year for five years).

Essential Components for a Comprehensive Center

• Administrative Core – Project Director must devote no less than 35% effort each year; must be senior author on least five peer-reviewed injury and/or violence-related publications, and have received injury and/or or violence prevention and control research grant funding in the last 10 years
• Outreach Core
• Training and Education Core
• Research Projects – 3 or 4 are required, each with project period of two to three years and total budget between $150,000 and $250,000 per year

Essential Components for a Developmental Center

· Administrative Core – Project Director must devote no less than 50% effort each year; must be senior author on at least three peer-reviewed injury and/or violence-related publications, and have received injury and/or or violence prevention and control research grant funding in the last 10 years

· Training, Education and Outreach Core

· Research Project – one is required, with a project period of three to four years and total budget between $100,000 and $200,000 per year

Institutional Limit: Only one applicant per institution (normally identified by having a unique DUNS number) is allowed. Applicants and/or institutions may not apply for both a comprehensive and a developmental center award under this FOA.

Internal Competition: Because CDC limits an institution to one submission for either a Comprehensive or a Developmental Center, the University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process. Researchers interested in applying are to submit the following material electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at limitedsubmissions@uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Thursday, June 20, 2013:

• Identify the type of center proposed – Comprehensive or Developmental
• Names and departments or affiliations of the Project Director and other key personnel or partners
• List the Center Director’s required peer-reviewed injury and/or violence-related publications and grant funding
• Brief overview of the proposed center:  2 -3 pages maximum – include the objectives, research focus area(s), and description of proposed research project(s) and Core activities

A committee will be convened to review the material and make recommendations as to the University’s submission. Questions about the submission process may be sent to Ms. Annette Evans in the Office of the Vice President for Research (alevan4@email.uky.edu or 257-1663.)
