The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control is seeking investigator-initiated research proposals to rigorously evaluate programs and policies aimed at the primary prevention of child sexual abuse and problematic sexual behavior among youth under 18. Child sexual abuse is defined as sexual victimization by an adult, while problematic sexual behavior refers to developmentally inappropriate sexual actions by youth that may cause harm, whether intentional or not. The research must focus on one of three priorities: prevention efforts targeting digital spaces such as the creation or distribution of explicit imagery involving children, initiatives addressing the use of digital platforms for commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking of minors, or organizational policies within youth-serving settings like schools, foster care, faith-based groups, and community centers designed to prevent abuse and harmful behaviors. The goal is to build a strong evidence base for effective primary prevention strategies that can be widely implemented. All proposals must meet gold standard research criteria to ensure rigorous evaluation, and applicants are expected to design studies that can demonstrate measurable impact and scalability. The funding opportunity is open to researchers and institutions capable of conducting high-quality, independent evaluations, with no set-asides specified. Interested parties can direct inquiries to Dr. Candis M. Hunter via the provided contact information. The announcement was posted on July 10, 2026, and prospective applicants are encouraged to review the full solicitation through the official grants portal for detailed submission guidelines and requirements.

Full Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated gold standard research proposals to rigorously evaluate programs and policies for their impact on primary prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) or problematic sexual behavior (PSB) among youth. For the purposes of this NOFO:

  • CSA is defined as sexual victimization during childhood (younger than 18 years of age) perpetrated by an adult.
  • PSB is defined as sexual behaviors among children (younger than 18 years of age) that are not developmentally appropriate and have the potential to cause harm to the child or children involved (including behaviors that are unintentionally harmful or inappropriate as well as behaviors intended to cause harm). 

Research funded under this announcement will strengthen the evidence base for primary prevention of CSA and PSB. 

Applicants must propose to rigorously evaluate a program or policy for primary prevention of CSA or PSB that addresses one of the following three research priorities:

  1. Programs or policies focused on primary prevention of CSA or PSB in digital spaces (e.g., downloading or possession of illegal images of children, nonconsensual image sharing, use of artificial intelligence to create fake explicit images of children);
  1. Programs or policies addressing the use of digital spaces for commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) or sex trafficking (e.g., online recruitment of minors for sexual content creation, online advertisements soliciting minors for commercial sex acts, using technology to facilitate in-person meetings with minors for the purpose of sex);
  1. Organizational policy approaches focused on primary prevention of CSA or PSB in youth-serving organizations (e.g., community centers, youth development organizations, juvenile residential care facilities, faith-based organizations, group foster care).

SBES Data Discovery and Interoperability AwardsThe Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is soliciting responses to a sources-sought notice for a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to award the University of Colorado Boulder’s Natural Hazards Center for the SBES Data Discovery and Interoperability Awards. The requirement is strictly for an existing, operational, data-rich social, behavioral, and economic science (SBES) framework and database that is already in use and cannot be developed under this contract. The selected contractor will leverage this pre-existing framework to administer competitive subcontracts to academic researchers, directing efforts toward metadata alignment, open-source tool development, dataset integration proofs-of-concept, and interoperability readiness assessments to enhance the discoverability and usability of SBES data for integration with meteorological and hydrological systems. The Natural Hazards Center is identified as the only entity capable of fulfilling this requirement due to its unique network of over 146 researchers across 80 institutions, its established Weather Ready Research Program, and its prior collaboration with NOAA under the Weather Ready Nation initiative, which has cultivated a comprehensive repository of SBES data tied to extreme weather and water events. The anticipated contract period is two years beginning on or before September 18, 2026, with no option periods, and work will be performed at the contractor’s facility, though the place of performance is listed as Silver Spring, Maryland. The contractor must demonstrate proof of an existing SBES framework, along with experience managing academic research partnerships or subcontracts, and must be registered in the System for Award Management. All personnel must clearly identify as contractors in written and verbal communications, wear visible badges during in-person interactions, and include formal signature blocks in all deliverables. Key deliverables include draft subcontract solicitation materials and review criteria within 60 days of award, proposed subcontract documentation by day 180, and cumulative program reports at day 330 and 30 days before contract closeout. Performance will be monitored through quarterly check-ins with the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with strict acceptance criteria: 95% of deliverables due on time, 90% of technical documents accepted after no more than one major revision, and 98% of system data entries accurate and complete. The government retains the authority to withhold invoices for substandard performance, issue Contract Discrepancy Reports, and assign negative past performance ratings. Responses must be submitted via a designated Google Portal by the deadline and must exclude any proprietary or confidential information. This notice does not constitute a commitment

Preventing Suicide and Interpersonal Violence Among Youth and Young AdultsThe 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.
