About this opportunity
The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is forecasting applications for the CAPSTONE Centers for Multidisciplinary Research in Child Abuse and Neglect, a renewal initiative funding multidisciplinary research centers addressing child sexual abuse as a preventable public health problem; no application deadline is specified in this forecast.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, for-profit organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The initiative also welcomes Indian/Native American tribal governments (other than federally recognized), eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and non-domestic entities.
The funding mechanism is the P50 research center grant, designed to support multicomponent and collaborative research. The Centers will pursue four priority research areas: efficacy and effectiveness studies of interventions; longitudinal investigations of chronic disease outcomes linked to child sexual abuse; research on biological embedding and health implications; and projects strengthening child sexual abuse data infrastructure. A required translation component is mandatory. The initiative emphasizes prevention and translational research demonstrating measurable public health impact, moving beyond identification of general risk factors toward intervention development and implementation science.
Research addresses critical methodological, practical, and ethical challenges in child sexual abuse research and will create national resources supporting high-quality, innovative research across the field.
Assistance Listing 93.865 (Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) supports this opportunity under statutory authorities 42 U.S.C. 281, 42 U.S.C. 285g, and 42 U.S.C. 284h.
Forecast synopsis
This renewal of the CAPSTONE Centers for Child Maltreatment Research initiative will focus on child sexual abuse (CSA), a preventable but understudied public health problem with serious lifelong consequences. CSA is linked to adverse developmental and health outcomes, including chronic gynecological, gastrointestinal, sexual health, and mental health conditions. The renewed Centers are intended to overcome the significant practical, ethical, and methodological challenges in CSA research, addressing critical gaps in CSA research and including a required translation component. The multicomponent and collaborative nature of the P50 mechanism will create national resources for the field supporting innovative, high-quality research including : (1) studies evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions; (2) longitudinal studies of CSA-related chronic disease outcomes; (3) research on biological embedding and its health implications; and (4) projects that strengthen CSA data infrastructure. Instead of just identifying general risk factors and etiology, the renewed Centers will focus on prevention and translational research to demonstrate measurable public health impact. Grant authorities that allow the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to forecast this opportunity are as follows: 42 U.S.C. 281 (Sec. 401); 42 U.S.C. 285g (Sec. 448); 42 USC 284h (Sec. 409D)
