About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), is soliciting applications for the Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) program to support new investigators in conducting research on preventing interpersonal violence and suicide among children and youth (birth to age 17). Applicants must propose research addressing at least one NCIPC research priority, including adverse childhood experiences, child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, suicide, or cross-cutting prevention topics. Principal investigators must hold a doctoral or medical degree, have less than five years of post-graduate research experience in interpersonal violence or suicide prevention, maintain full-time institutional employment, commit at least 60% effort to the project, and secure a primary mentor to support research independence. Applications will undergo initial responsiveness review followed by two-level scientific merit review by external and internal experts, with final awards determined based on program priorities, relevance, portfolio balance, and geographic considerations. The application deadline is June 22, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with an optional letter of intent due May 29, 2026.
Four awards are expected, each providing $150,000 per 12-month budget period over a 3-year performance period, with a total program funding of $1,800,000. Research must assess relevant outcomes such as victimization, perpetration, suicide deaths or attempts, or key risk and protective factors, and must include detailed research plans, career development plans, mentor letters of support, institutional commitment documentation, and data management plans. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, institutions of higher education (public and private), nonprofit organizations, small businesses, tribal entities, and other organizations meeting CDC eligibility requirements. The expected award date is August 27, 2026, with a project start date of September 30, 2026, and performance will occur at the applicant institution's location.
Synopsis
This Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (K01) helps researchers develop skills in violence prevention research. The goal is to support scientists in becoming independent researchers. Applicants must propose a research project that focuses on at least one of the following NCIPC research priorities related to interpersonal violence and suicide affecting children and youth (birth to age 17). These research priorities include adverse childhood experiences, child abuse and neglect, youth violence, intimate partner violence (including teen dating violence), sexual violence, suicide, and cross-cutting preventions (i.e. examining two or more of these priority topics). For more information, see https://www.cdc.gov/injury-violence-prevention/programs/research-priorities.html. Applicants are encouraged to explore multiple forms of interpersonal violence and/or suicide among children or youth, community factors that increase the risk of interpersonal violence and/or suicide, and the practical relevance of the research for prevention and intervention efforts.
