The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) has historically offered funding opportunities aimed at reducing injuries among children and adolescents. These grants support research, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based strategies to prevent various types of injuries, including motor vehicle-related injuries, falls, burns, drownings, and poisonings.​

The primary objective of these funding opportunities is to support state and local health departments, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations in developing and enhancing injury prevention programs. Funded projects often focus on data collection and surveillance, public education campaigns, policy development, and community-based interventions tailored to address specific injury risks within communities.​

Eligibility criteria for past funding opportunities have typically included state and local health departments, non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and tribal organizations. Applicants are usually required to demonstrate capacity to implement public health programs and conduct rigorous program evaluations.​

Submission requirements often entail a detailed project narrative outlining the proposed intervention, objectives, methods, evaluation plans, and a budget justification. Applicants may also need to provide letters of support from partners and stakeholders, as well as evidence of previous experience in injury prevention initiatives.​

Evaluation criteria generally assess the significance of the proposed project, the applicant's capacity to execute the project, the quality of the project design and methodology, and the potential impact on reducing injury rates among the target population. Budgets are reviewed for adequacy and alignment with proposed activities.
