OJJDP will fund field-initiated studies with practical implications for efforts to prevent and reduce youth violence and exposure to violence at the community level. This solicitation encourages researchers to propose studies that aim to identify and evaluate dissemination and implementation approaches that promote efficient and effective community-level adoption and sustainability of research-tested youth violence prevention and control strategies. It also encourages investigations to evaluate the effectiveness (including cost effectiveness) of community-based violence prevention programs with a fully developed and documented program model that have not yet been subject to rigorous evaluation.
All applications are due by 11:59 p.m. eastern time (ET) on February 7, 2017. Those interested in more information can find an official call here: https://www.ojjdp.gov/grants/solicitations/FY2017/CYVPRE.pdf
