Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE22 2201
The grant opportunity "Advancing Surveillance of Violent Deaths Using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)" is a CDC-led effort to strengthen how states, territories, and other jurisdictions track and understand violent deaths so communities can prevent them more effectively. The CDC frames violence as a major public health issue, noting that more than 67,000 people in the United States died violently in 2019, including 47,511 suicides and 19,141 homicides, with an estimated economic burden exceeding $90 billion due to medical costs and lost productivity. The core public health idea behind the program is straightforward: violence is preventable, but prevention depends on having timely, accurate, and detailed information about who is dying, how, where, and under what circumstances.
This funding announcement builds on the long-running National Violent Death Reporting System, which CDC began implementing in 2002. NVDRS is described as a state-based surveillance system that standardizes and links information from multiple sources that typically sit in separate silos. Specifically, it combines death certificates, coroner/medical examiner reports (including toxicology findings), and law enforcement reports into a single, more complete record for each violent death. By connecting these sources, NVDRS helps jurisdictions move beyond simple counts of deaths and toward a clearer picture of the circumstances and contributing factors, which is what prevention planners, policymakers, and community partners need to choose interventions that actually match local patterns.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC is not only providing funds but is also expected to provide ongoing technical guidance and oversight to ensure the data are collected consistently across jurisdictions. Recipients are responsible for collecting and analyzing violent death data for their own target area using CDC guidelines and a CDC web-based data entry system, while CDC supports standardization, data quality expectations, and system access. A key feature of NVDRS is that recipients share de-identified data with CDC, allowing CDC to combine information into a multi-state database that can inform national partners and broader prevention strategies. Public-facing summary data for earlier years are made available through CDC resources such as WISQARS and NVDRS webpages, which helps translate surveillance into actionable insights for researchers and prevention programs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (specifically within NCIPC, the injury center, and its Division of Violence Prevention). It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity in the health category under CFDA 93.136. Eligible applicants include state governments and local governments (county, city or township, and special district governments), with additional eligible entities referenced in the full eligibility text of the announcement. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-CE22-2201, with an anticipated 52 awards, reflecting broad national coverage consistent with NVDRS being implemented across states and jurisdictions. The stated award ceiling is $962,085, which signals that awards are designed to support staffing, data acquisition and abstraction, partner coordination (such as with medical examiners and law enforcement), quality assurance, and the analytical work needed to turn raw source documents into usable surveillance data.
The timeline included a requested Letter of Intent (LOI) with an anticipated due date of 03/15/2022, used mainly so CDC staff could estimate review workload and plan the application review process, with the original application closing date listed as May 23, 2022. Overall, the opportunity centers on improving the completeness, consistency, and usefulness of violent death surveillance through NVDRS so that states and communities can better identify trends, understand circumstances, and design prevention and intervention efforts tailored to their local needs, while also contributing to a stronger national picture of violent deaths in the United States.Apply for CDC RFA CE22 2201
