Funding-Limited Submission – Office of
the Secretary – Minority Youth Violence Prevention II (MYVP II): Integrating
Social Determinants of Health and Community Policing Approaches MP-YEP-17-001;
April 4, 2017
Purpose: Minority Youth Violence Prevention II (MYVP II) is intended to identify innovative approaches to
significantly reduce the prevalence and impact of youth violence among racial
and ethnic minority and/or disadvantaged at-risk youth. MYVP II will support project interventions
tailored to at-risk racial and ethnic minority and/or disadvantaged youth (ages
12-18 years at the start of the project) and requires that a cohort of no fewer
than 50 at risk youth participate throughout the project. It requires a coordinated, multi-discipline
approach, including at a minimum a public health agency, a local school and/or
school district, and a law enforcement agency, as well as an institution of
higher education. These approaches
should address: public health, education, and public safety concerns;
disparities in access to public health services; social determinants of health;
and risk and protective factors; and should serve and track the cohort of
project participants and comparison groups members over a four year period.
Funding
Amount/Period: $325,000-$425,000
per year for a four year period.
