CE25-027 - evaluate steadi-based fall prevention in assisted living facilities

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded a cooperative agreement totaling $2,099,019 to the National Opinion Research Center on September 30, 2025, to evaluate STEADI-based fall prevention interventions in assisted living facilities under the Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs (CFDA 93.136).

The National Opinion Research Center will conduct evaluation research assessing the effectiveness and implementation of STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries) fall prevention strategies adapted for assisted living settings. The period of performance runs through September 29, 2029, with work performed in Illinois.

The Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs supports injury control research on priority issues and works with national organizations, state health agencies, and other key groups to develop, implement, and promote effective injury and violence prevention and control practices. Cooperative agreements under this program support periods of performance of one to five years, with initial awards funding the first budget period (typically twelve months) and continued funding available non-competitively subject to satisfactory progress and the determination that continuation serves the federal government's interests.
