Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA MD 18 005
This National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity, titled "Youth Violence Prevention Interventions that Incorporate Racism/Discrimination Prevention (R01-Clinical Trial Required)" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-MD-18-005; CFDA 93.307), supports research projects that both develop and rigorously test youth violence prevention interventions that explicitly include strategies to prevent or reduce racism and discrimination. The core idea is to strengthen violence prevention by addressing racism/discrimination as a contributing risk factor, with a clear emphasis on improving outcomes for one or more health disparity populations. The initiative targets adolescents in the middle school through high school years, roughly ages 11 to 18, and it requires a clinical trial component, meaning applicants are expected to evaluate the intervention in a structured, methodologically sound way consistent with NIH clinical trial expectations.
The grant mechanism is an NIH R01, which generally supports substantial, multi-year research projects. The funding instrument is a grant under the Health funding activity category, and the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $500,000. The original application closing date was May 25, 2018, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of November 30, 2017. While the listing notes "ExpectedAwards:" without a number provided, the intent is clearly to fund a set of research awards that can demonstrate whether integrating racism/discrimination prevention into youth violence prevention produces measurable benefits for young people in the target age group.
A wide range of applicant organizations are eligible, reflecting NIH interest in supporting research across academic, governmental, community, and private-sector settings. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Higher education institutions are eligible across categories, including public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, as well as specific institution types such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs). Tribal entities are also included, such as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), along with Indian/Native American Tribal Governments that are not federally recognized. The eligibility list also includes nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), as long as they are not institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and other eligible entities. In addition, the opportunity explicitly calls out that faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible agencies of the federal government, and U.S. territories or possessions may apply.
At the same time, the opportunity places strict limits on foreign involvement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible to apply, and foreign components (as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. In practical terms, the applicant organization and the work supported by this award must be domestically based within the allowable NIH framework, without foreign components.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at building an evidence base for youth violence prevention approaches that do not treat violence in isolation, but instead incorporate prevention of racism and discrimination as part of the intervention strategy, with careful testing among adolescents and a focus on populations experiencing health disparities.Apply for RFA MD 18 005
