This file is an application template for Type 6 applications under the RFA-CK-18-000 cooperative agreement opportunity. The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting applications for the Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs (CFDA 93.136). The application deadline is September 30, 2030, with submissions required through Grants.gov. Eligible applicants include U.S. state governments, territorial governments, local governments, and their bona fide agents, with only one application funded per state or territory. The cooperative agreement provides financial assistance for a 12-month initial budget period with a performance period of up to five years, contingent upon fund availability and satisfactory recipient progress. Historical award amounts for similar programs range from $100,000 to $700,000 annually, though the program summary indicates typical cooperative agreements range from $350,000 to $1.4 million.

Applications will undergo a two-phase review process. Phase 1 assesses eligibility and completeness, while Phase 2 evaluates approach, evaluation and performance measurement, and the applicant's organizational capacity to implement the proposed strategy. Key evaluation criteria include scientific/technical merit, personnel qualifications, feasibility of producing meaningful results, alignment with national health priorities, and budget reasonableness. Funded recipients must have access to state or territory-wide data sources and develop innovative, evidence-based approaches to violence prevention across domains including child abuse prevention, sexual violence prevention, firearm-related violence reduction, and overdose prevention. Recipients are subject to federal inspections and audits, with a mandatory three-year record retention requirement.
