Funding-Limited Submission: CDC - Grants for
Injury Control Research Centers; July 22, 2011
The
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is seeking
applications from qualified organizations for Injury Control Research Center (ICRC)
grants. NCIPC intends to commit approximately $6,400,000 in FY2012 to fund up
to seven applications. The maximum award will be $905,500 (direct and indirect
costs) for the first 12 month budget period; an applicant may request a project
period of up to five years for a maximum award $4,527,500.
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. ICRCs are expected to have a high caliber of scientific and
technical competency, be forward looking, provide regional leadership, and
collaborate with stake holders and community partners (including state and local
health agencies and non-profit, community and non-governmental organizations)
in the development and delivery of relevant interventions to improve the
prevention and control of injuries and/or violence. Center structure should
take advantage of diverse scientific resources and focus on local, regional and
national issues. Center functions should include developing holistic approaches
that link prevention, intervention, translation, outreach, education, and
evaluation. The implementation of innovative, evidence-based solutions that
address important injury and/or violence prevention and control problems in a
collaborative manner is expected. A specific center theme is not required;
however applicants must concisely describe the mission, structure, function and
focus area(s) of the proposed center and how these address the mission and
priorities of NCIPC.
NCIPC
has identified three research and program priority areas in injury and/or
violence prevention and control. These areas are priorities because of their
high cost, and the availability of solutions to reduce the numbers and severity
of related injuries and their consequences. The three priority areas are: 1)
Preventing Child Maltreatment; 2) Preventing Motor Vehicle Injuries and 3)
Preventing Falls Among Older Adults. NCIPC has also
identified emerging areas of focus in injury and/or violence prevention and
control that also meet the criteria of high cost and the availability of
solutions. The emerging focus areas include: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); Preventing
Unintentional Drug Overdoses and Poisonings; and Preventing Youth Violence
ICRC
applications are expected to have the following components that together

Internal Competition: Because CDC limits an
institution to one submission, 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 vpr@email.uky.edu
and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Friday, July 22, 2011:
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.)
