AI Contract Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is seeking research proposals to evaluate primary prevention strategies aimed at reducing suicide and interpersonal violence among youth and young adults aged 10 to 24. This initiative focuses on approaches that are already developed or proven ready for implementation but have not yet been rigorously evaluated. Eligible proposals may assess programs, policies, or practices designed to reduce suicide-related outcomes by strengthening social connectedness and community cohesion, mitigate the negative effects of unhealthy online behaviors on mental health, or address technology-facilitated interpersonal violence and its associated harms. The goal is to generate evidence on what works to prevent these critical public health issues before they escalate. Interested applicants must submit proposals through the designated funding opportunity, with inquiries directed to Dr. Candis M. Hunter at ncipc_erpo@cdc.gov or 770-488-1347. The opportunity was posted on July 9, 2026, under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is open to eligible researchers and organizations seeking to contribute to evidence-based prevention science. While no specific set aside or NAICS code is listed, the funding is intended to support rigorous evaluation efforts that can inform future public health interventions and policy decisions targeting youth and young adult populations across the United States.

Full Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) seeks investigator-initiated research proposals to evaluate primary prevention-focused approaches to reduce suicide and interpersonal violence among youth and young adults (ages 10 to 24 years).
This NOFO will support the evaluation of existing primary prevention approaches (i.e., approaches that are already developed and implemented or have been shown to be ready for implementation) that have not yet undergone rigorous evaluation. For this announcement, “approaches” can include programs, policies, or practices.
Applicants can propose to evaluate approaches that:
- Reduce suicide-related outcomes, enhancing social connectedness and social cohesion at the community level
- Reduce or mitigate the impact of unhealthy behaviors or experiences in online spaces on suicide-related outcomes
- Evaluate approaches to reduce the incidence and/or harm caused by technology-facilitated forms of interpersonal violence
