Description
This initiative is intended to support effectiveness research to evaluate innovative programs, practices, or policies to address risk for interpersonal violence and suicide among groups experiencing a high burden of these issues. The research should focus on preventing interpersonal violence or suicide involving youth or young adults (ages 10–24 years), including child abuse and neglect, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, suicide, and youth violence. Some key points to consider include:
• The approach should be innovative and not have been rigorously evaluated for effectiveness in reducing interpersonal violence or suicide.
• Analyses examining how the approach affects different populations that are most impacted by these issues are a priority.
• Funds are available to conduct studies focused on preventing interpersonal violence or suicide.
• The estimated funding for this opportunity is $9,600,000, with an award ceiling of $400,000.
Some of the key areas of focus for this research include:
• Child abuse and neglect
• Intimate partner violence
• Sexual violence
• Suicide
• Youth violence
The applicant should have experience in conducting research on interpersonal violence and suicide, and should be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues and the ability to design and implement an effective research study.
