CDC Rigorous Evaluation of Community-Level Substance Use and Overdose Prevention Frameworks that Incorporate ACEs-Related Prevention Strategies
(Application Deadline: February 22, 2022)
The CDC National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research?to conduct?rigorous evaluation (including both a process and outcome evaluation) of prevention approaches?implemented within communities?that incorporate efforts to mitigate the harms of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and prevent future ACEs,?while simultaneously aiming to prevent substance use and overdose. Recognition of the link between ACEs and related trauma with substance use has led to the development and implementation of programs spanning the social ecology and working simultaneously to prevent ACEs, substance use and overdose more broadly, as well as other related harms. Thirty-four of the 66 recipients to NCIPC’s Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) funding are implementing overdose prevention activities that provide support for people who have experienced ACEs or are designed to prevent ACEs in addition to substance use and overdose. Further, ACEs-related overdose prevention strategies are also being funded through other NCIPC programmatic and research initiatives. These efforts represent initial steps toward the development of cross-cutting strategies that integrate activities to simultaneously address ACEs and overdose. Rigorous process and outcome evaluations are needed to identify effective approaches implemented within communities that incorporate programming to mitigate the harms of ACEs exposure and prevent future ACEs while simultaneously aiming to prevent substance use and overdose.??Partnerships between the applicant institution and outside entities will be necessary to complete the proposed work.?Applicants will be required to implement strategies based on the best available evidence for preventing substance use, overdose and ACEs. To ensure community buy-in and ability to effectively implement the proposed prevention strategy, applicants will be strongly encouraged to partner with a state health department or other CDC funding recipients implementing programming in support of existing NCIPC strategies (e.g., OD2A, NACCHO ACEs prevention, PACE:D2A, EfC), or partner with communities with demonstrated capacity to implement such strategies. The strongest applications will document established relationships between the institutions designing and leading evaluation efforts and the communities already implementing ACEs-related activities and/or substance use and overdose prevention strategies. All applicants are strongly encouraged to partner with communities already implementing such prevention strategies, regardless of whether a previously established relationship exists.??LEARN MORE

NSF Smart and Connected Communities
(Application Deadline: Rolling)
Communities in the US and around the world are entering a new era of transformation in which residents and their surrounding environments are increasingly connected through rapidly-changing intelligent technologies. This transformation offers great promise for improved wellbeing and prosperity but poses significant challenges at the complex intersection of technology and society. The goal of the NSF Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) program solicitation is to accelerate the creation of the scientific and engineering foundations that will enable smart and connected communities to bring about new levels of economic opportunity and growth, safety and security, health and wellness, accessibility and inclusivity, and overall quality of life. For the purposes of this solicitation, communities are defined as having geographically-delineated boundaries—such as towns, cities, counties, neighborhoods, community districts, rural areas, and tribal regions—consisting of various populations, with the structure and ability to engage in meaningful ways with proposed research activities. A “smart and connected community” is, in turn, defined as a community that synergistically integrates intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments, including infrastructure, to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of those who live, work, learn, or travel within it. The S&CC program encourages researchers to work with community stakeholders to identify and define challenges they are facing, enabling those challenges to motivate use-inspired research questions. For this solicitation, community stakeholders may include some or all of the following: residents, neighborhood or community groups, nonprofit or philanthropic organizations, businesses, as well as municipal organizations such as libraries, museums, educational institutions, public works departments, and health and social services agencies. The S&CC program supports integrative research that addresses fundamental technological and social science dimensions of smart and connected communities and pilots solutions together with communities. Importantly, this program is interested in projects that consider the sustainability of the research outcomes beyond the life of the project, including the scalability and transferability of the proposed solutions.?LEARN MORE
