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 perpetrating child sexual abuse (CSA) or engaging in problematic sexual behavior (PSB) among youth.
Donor Name: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/02/2024
Size of the Grant: $100,000 to $500,000
Grant Duration: 5 Years
Details:
The intent of this NOFO is to support rigorous evaluations to strengthen the evidence base on the effectiveness of programs and policies with potential for the primary prevention of perpetrating CSA and engaging in PSB in the United States.
The primary outcome to be achieved through this research opportunity is to strengthen the evidence base for the effectiveness of programs and policies for the primary prevention of perpetrating CSA and engaging in PSB. Funded projects are expected to identify a primary prevention program or policy and evaluate its effectiveness in preventing CSA or PSB. While proposed approaches must focus on preventing adults from perpetrating CSA or preventing youth from engaging in PSB, the outcomes measured may relate to CSA perpetration or victimization and engaging in or experiencing PSB. Examples of CSA or PSB data and sources include, but are not limited to:
- Emergency department
- Law enforcement
- Child abuse reports (e.g., CPS)
- Administrative data from relevant YSOs
- Survey data
- Self-report
Research Priority
- Rigorous evaluation of programs or policies with potential for the primary prevention of perpetrating CSA or engaging in PSB, with an emphasis on approaches addressing community, societal, or structural conditions.
- Rigorous evaluation of programs or policies focused on the primary prevention of perpetrating CSA or engaging in PSB in digital spaces (e.g., downloading or possession of illegal images of children, nonconsensual image sharing, use of digital spaces for commercial sexual exploitation or trafficking of children).
- Rigorous evaluation of organizational policy approaches focused on the primary prevention of perpetrating CSA or engaging in PSB in youth-serving organizations (e.g., community centers, youth development organizations, juvenile residential care facilities, faith-based organizations, group foster care).
