Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE21 2105
The grant opportunity titled "Collecting Violent Death Information Using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)" is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on strengthening how states and local jurisdictions track, understand, and ultimately prevent violent deaths. The CDC frames violence as a major public health issue, noting that more than 67,000 people in the United States died from violent causes in 2018 alone, including 48,344 suicides and 18,830 homicides. Beyond the human toll on families and communities, CDC highlights the broader societal impact by citing estimates of more than 90 billion dollars in medical costs and lost productivity associated with violent deaths. The underlying public health logic of the program is straightforward: prevention efforts work best when communities have clear, detailed, and timely information about who is dying, how, where, and under what circumstances.
At the center of this opportunity is the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), which CDC began implementing in 2002. NVDRS is described as a state-based surveillance system that standardizes the way violent death data are collected and connected across multiple sources. Rather than relying on a single record, participating jurisdictions use CDC guidelines and a CDC web-based data entry system to link information from death certificates, coroner and medical examiner reports (including toxicology findings), and law enforcement reports. By merging these sources, NVDRS is designed to provide a fuller picture of each violent death incident, capturing details that are often missing when data systems remain separate. This richer context is intended to help jurisdictions design prevention strategies that are tailored to their own patterns and risk factors, while also contributing to a national evidence base.
The award mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning recipients are expected to carry out the work locally while working closely with CDC, which provides ongoing technical guidance and the standardized infrastructure for data entry and reporting. In practice, recipients collect and analyze data for their specific target area, ensure information is entered according to NVDRS requirements, and then share de-identified data with CDC. CDC then aggregates the de-identified information into a multi-state database used by national stakeholders to monitor trends, identify emerging issues, and inform policy and prevention priorities. The opportunity points applicants to publicly available NVDRS summary data covering 2003 through 2018 via CDC's WISQARS platform, reinforcing that this program supports both state-level action and nationwide situational awareness.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA CE21 2105 and the CFDA number 93.136. Eligible applicants are governmental entities, specifically state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. The sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) and its Division of Violence Prevention. The notice was created on February 26, 2021, with an original closing date of May 3, 2021. The maximum award ceiling listed is $942,085, and CDC anticipated making about 10 awards under this announcement.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in surveillance capacity that supports prevention: it funds jurisdictions to systematically compile and link violent death data, apply consistent national standards, and contribute de-identified case information to a shared national system. The expected payoff is more actionable intelligence about violent deaths, enabling better-targeted interventions and policies aimed at reducing suicides, homicides, and other violent fatalities.Apply for CDC RFA CE21 2105
