Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 22 003
The Rigorously Evaluating Programs and Policies to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) opportunity (RFA-CE-22-003) is a CDC cooperative agreement run through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). Its purpose is to fund investigator-initiated research that tests whether specific prevention programs, policies, or practices actually reduce the perpetration of child sexual abuse before it occurs. In this announcement, CSA refers to sexual victimization of a person under age 18, and it explicitly excludes sexual violence that happens within teen dating violence (TDV) or intimate partner violence (IPV) contexts. The main focus is building stronger, more credible evidence about what works to prevent CSA perpetrated by either youth or adults.
A central requirement is that applicants propose a truly rigorous evaluation of an approach that has not yet been rigorously evaluated for preventing youth- or adult-perpetrated CSA. The CDC is looking for study designs that can support credible causal conclusions, not simple pre/post or descriptive studies. Proposed methods can include randomized controlled trials, or strong quasi-experimental approaches such as comparative interrupted time series, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, regression point displacement, stepped wedge designs, propensity score matching, and other designs using well-constructed comparison groups. In plain terms, the grant is meant for evaluations that can isolate the effect of a prevention strategy from other factors and show whether it produces measurable prevention impacts.
Projects must align with at least one of six research priorities. First are approaches specifically developed to prevent CSA perpetration by youth or adults. Second are adaptations or applications of evidence-based approaches that already have proof of reducing other kinds of violence, such as intimate partner violence, youth violence, or other forms of child abuse and neglect, with the goal of testing whether those strategies also prevent CSA. Third are community- or societal-level approaches, meaning interventions that change conditions in settings (schools, neighborhoods, organizations, systems) that increase risk or provide protection against violence, rather than focusing only on individual behavior change. Fourth are approaches aimed at preventing or reducing commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), including sex trafficking understood as a form of CSA. Fifth are approaches that prevent technology-facilitated CSA, such as online solicitation of minors, obtaining sexual images electronically, and related forms of online abuse (including possession or downloading of child sexual abuse material). Sixth are organizational policy approaches in youth-serving organizations, such as juvenile residential care facilities or group foster care, where changes in rules, oversight, screening, reporting, training, supervision, or other institutional practices could plausibly reduce opportunities for perpetration.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects to be actively involved in the work (for example, through scientific collaboration, coordination, or technical input) rather than serving only as a passive funder. The CFDA number listed is 93.136. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses); and other entities as allowed by the additional eligibility language.
The posted award ceiling is $325,000, with an expectation of about 4 awards. The opportunity was created November 19, 2021, with an original application due date of February 1, 2022, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 pm ET on the due date. Overall, the grant is aimed at expanding the national evidence base by funding strong evaluations of under-tested prevention strategies, especially those that can be implemented as real-world programs, policies, or organizational practices and that show measurable reductions in CSA risk or perpetration.Apply for RFA CE 22 003
