About this opportunity

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, programs, or policies for reducing polysubstance-impaired driving and associated crashes, nonfatal injuries, and/or deaths. The research may focus on social and structural determinants of health, substance use prevention, or evidence-based alcohol-impaired driving strategies. Recommended outcomes include crashes, injuries, and deaths involving driving while impaired by two or more substances, but other sufficiently linked outcomes will be considered. The evaluation designs must be rigorous, examine effectiveness across diverse populations, and include plans for disseminating and translating findings.

Successful applicants may receive up to $350,000 per year for 3 years, with 1 award anticipated under this funding opportunity. The application due date is December 2, 2024, and the expected project start date is September 30, 2025. This opportunity is funded under the Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs (CFDA 93.136).

Synopsis

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to rigorously evaluate and examine effectiveness of strategies, programs, or policies (collectively referred to as "strategies") for preventing polysubstance-impaired driving and associated crashes, nonfatal injuries, or deaths. Polysubstance-impaired driving means driving while impaired by two or more substances, such as alcohol and opioids or cannabis and alcohol. Comprehensive evaluations of strategies to prevent polysubstance-impaired driving are lacking and urgently needed given the changing landscape of substance use and impaired driving. Additionally, given inequitable impacts on some populations (American Indian and Alaska Native [AIAN] communities, rural populations, etc.), research is needed to examine strategy effectiveness among different populations. This NOFO supports research that can help fill these gaps. Research may include, but is not limited to, evaluation of the impact of any of the following on preventing polysubstance-impaired driving and related outcomes: 1) Evidence-based alcohol-impaired driving strategies that may also prevent polysubstance-impaired driving. Examples include, but are not limited to, screening and brief intervention and alternative transportation or transit programs. 2) Strategies that prevent excessive alcohol use, harmful substance use, or substance use disorders that have the capacity to also prevent polysubstance-impaired driving. Examples include, but are not limited to, taxation or pricing policies for alcohol and cannabis, social norming campaigns, and multi-component coalition-based strategies (e.g., Drug Free Communities Programs or similar efforts). This NOFO encourages examination of strategy effects on polysubstance-impaired driving and associated injuries and deaths among the overall population and disproportionately affected populations.
