The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research proposals to support the use of data science techniques analysis to understand risk and protective factors for one of the following two NCIPC injury research topics: Suicide attempts and/or intentional self-harm OR Unintentional drowning deaths.
Donor Name:Centers for Disease Control
Country: United States
State: All States
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 03/08/2021
Grant Size: $350,000
Grant Duration: 12 months
Details:
Understanding the risk and protective factors for injury and death can help prevent them, improve public health, and reduce related costs. Data linkage, or linking existing data sources such as police, hospital, and emergency medical service (EMS) records, is one way to better understand an injury-producing event and to identify risk and protective factors. Each of these data sources is separately collected at different points in time during the response to the injury and stored in unique systems that are not linked to each other. Linking these and other data sources can create a more complete picture of what happens before, during, and after an injuryproducing event. This can help states and communities better develop and implement prevention efforts.
Data linkage methods (e.g., deterministic, probabilistic, clustering neural networks) and data linkage software are needed to inform research on suicide attempts and/or intentional selfharm and unintentional drowning deaths. Ideal data sources would include:
- Comprehensive, structured information that includes measures that provide context for events, including risk and protective factors related to medical outcomes,
- Information that can be used to estimate non-medical economic costs (productivity, work loss), and
- Information that can be successfully linked to medical records that include medical and economic outcomes.

The maximum award amount will be $350,000 per award for the first 12-month budget period.
