About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), seeks investigator-initiated research proposals to rigorously evaluate programs and policies for their impact on the primary prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) and problematic sexual behavior (PSB) among youth. Applicants must propose to evaluate approaches that address one of three research priorities: 1) programs or policies with potential for primary prevention of CSA or PSB, with an emphasis on community, societal, or structural interventions; 2) programs or policies focused on primary prevention in digital spaces; or 3) organizational policy approaches in youth-serving settings. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses. Proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific and technical merit, feasibility, and the qualifications of the research team.
The total estimated funding is $4.8 million to support up to 3 awards, with a ceiling of $400,000 per budget period. The anticipated period of performance is 4 years, from 9/30/2025 to 9/29/2029. The work is expected to take place nationwide through partnerships with local organizations and communities.

This is a published notice (modification) to the NOFO. The NOFO modification: (1) adds clarifying language to the Collaboration/Partnership section of what constitutes 'pass through' organization, and (2) provides language on what is required for the PI and co-I to demonstrate expertise to meet responsiveness review criteria. In addition, a Questions and Answers supporting document was uploaded to grants.gov. - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research proposals to rigorously evaluate programs and policies for their impact on primary prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) and/or problematic sexual behavior (PSB) among youth. For the purposes of this NOFO, CSA is defined as sexual victimization during childhood (younger than 18 years of age) perpetrated by an adult. PSB is defined as sexual behaviors among children (under 18 years of age) that are not developmentally appropriate and have the potential to cause harm to the child or children involved (including behaviors that are unintentionally harmful or inappropriate as well as behaviors intended to cause harm). Research funded under this announcement will strengthen the evidence base for primary prevention of CSA and PSB. Applicants must propose to rigorously evaluate a program or policy for primary prevention of CSA or PSB that addresses one of the following three research priorities: (1) Programs or policies with potential for the primary prevention of CSA or PSB, with an emphasis on approaches addressing community, societal, or structural conditions; (2) Programs or policies focused on primary prevention of CSA or PSB in digital spaces (e.g., downloading or possession of illegal images of children, non-consensual image sharing, use of digital spaces for commercial sexual exploitation or trafficking of children); or (3) Organizational policy approaches focused on primary prevention of CSA or PSB in youth-serving organizations (e.g., community centers, youth development organizations, juvenile residential care facilities, faith-based organizations, group foster care).
