This file is an application template for Type 6 applications submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs funding opportunity (RFA-IP-18-000, CFDA 93.136). The cooperative agreement targets state governments, local governments, territorial governments, and their agents to develop, implement, and promote effective injury and violence prevention practices addressing child abuse prevention, sexual violence prevention, firearm-related violence reduction, and overdose prevention. The application deadline is September 30, 2030, with typical annual award amounts ranging from $100,000 to $700,000 and a performance period of up to five years subject to fund availability and satisfactory progress. Only one application per eligible state or territory will be funded, and recipients must have access to state or territory-wide data sources.

Applications undergo a two-phase review process: Phase I screens for eligibility and completeness, followed by Phase II panel review evaluating scientific merit, personnel qualifications, feasibility of producing meaningful results, alignment with national health priorities, and budget reasonableness. Eligible applicants include U.S. state governments or their bona fide agents, territorial governments, political subdivisions including counties and municipalities, state-controlled institutions of higher education, and federally or state-recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments. Applicants must demonstrate organizational capacity to implement proposed strategies and maintain evaluation and performance measurement capabilities. Financial assistance provides 12-month budget periods with potential non-competitive continuation based on satisfactory progress. Recipients are subject to inspection and audits by the Department of Health and Human Services with a three-year record retention requirement.
