08/26/2021

//

The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) issues this Forecast to announce available funding for eligible applicants to submit applications for the Safe Access for Victims’ Economic Security (SAVES) Center grant. The grant recipient will be responsible for establishing a national technical assistance, training, and research center to increase safe access to child support, paternity, and parenting time services for victims of domestic violence. The SAVES Center will conduct research to establish baseline data on victims’ needs and barriers to accessing child support services, gather information on promising practices for safe access to child support and parenting time, and build the capacity of state and tribal child support agencies to integrate comprehensive domestic violence safety procedures into child support program services. Additionally, it will develop and refine training materials and practice guides for child support case managers and legal staff, test and evaluate impacts of domestic violence safety procedures on victim access to child support and parenting time services, and develop and disseminate model domestic violence policies for child support agencies. It will accomplish this by leading cross-system collaborations with assistance agencies, the courts, legal services providers, and domestic violence service providers and coalitions. The grant project should identify national, regional, state, and tribal domestic violence experts who will partner with the applicant in developing and disseminating technical assistance and training resources to child support agency staff, court staff, and community based domestic violence program staff. Grantees are expected to engage a research partner or partners to: conduct primary data collection on incidence of DV with child support program participants, identify barriers to safe access to child support and parenting time services for victims, and assess model domestic violence procedures implemented by state and tribal child support agencies. The SAVES Center will provide training, technical assistance, and research services to OCSE funded SAVES implementation grantee sites (see companion Forecast), to additional State and Tribal Title IV-D child support agencies, to Title IV-D Judicial officers, and to national, state, tribal, and local domestic violence service providers.

##   Rigorously Evaluating Programs and Policies to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (CSA)

09/08/2021

//

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research proposals to rigorously evaluate prevention approaches (i.e., programs, policies, or practices) for their impact on the primary prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA) perpetrated by youth or adults. CSA is defined here as sexual victimization during childhood (under 18 years of age), excluding sexual violence (SV) in the specific context of dating/romantic relationships (i.e., teen dating violence [TDV] or intimate partner violence [IPV]). Research funded under this announcement will strengthen the evidence base for primary prevention of youth- or adult-perpetrated CSA. Applicants must propose rigorous evaluation designs, which for the purposes of this funding opportunity can include those that utilize experimental designs (i.e., randomized controlled trials) or rigorous quasi-experimental designs (e.g., comparative interrupted time series design, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, regression point displacement, stepped wedge, propensity- score matching, comparison groups). Applicants must propose to rigorously evaluate an approach (i.e., program, policy, or practice) that has not yet been rigorously evaluated for its effectiveness in the primary prevention of youth- or adult-perpetrated CSA and that addresses one or more of the following six research priorities: Research Priority 1: Approaches developed for the primary prevention of youth- or adult-perpetrated CSA; Research Priority 2: Evidence-based approaches that have empirical evidence of effectiveness in reducing other forms of violence (e.g., intimate partner violence, youth violence, other forms of child abuse and neglect); Research Priority 3: Community- or societal-level approaches (i.e., programs, policies, or practices that target characteristics of settings that increase or buffer against the risk for violence); Research Priority 4: Approaches focused on preventing or reducing commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) including sex trafficking as a form of CSA; Research Priority 5: Approaches focused on preventing technology-facilitated CSA (e.g., soliciting sexual contact or receiving sexual images from minors electronically, downloading/possession of online child pornography); Research Priority 6: Organizational policy approaches with the potential to prevent CSA perpetration in youth-serving organizations (e.g., juvenile residential care facilities, group foster care).

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. Youth violence is a critical issue for many communities across the nation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), homicide is the third leading cause of death for young people ages 10-24 and the leading cause of death for non-Hispanic Black or African American youth. (American Journal of Preventive Medicine 55(4): 462-469, 2018) OJJDP recognizes this issue and has a long history of supporting cross-sector, multilevel, community-based collaborations that engage a broad spectrum of stakeholders to combat youth violence. OJJDP’s current approach to addressing the complex issues related to youth violence is the development of approaches that build the capacity of communities to help children and their families exposed to violence. The Strategies to Support Children Exposed to Violence solicitation provides funding for communities to develop coordinated and comprehensive community-based approaches to assist children and their families who are exposed to violence build resilience and prevent future juvenile violence and delinquency. Funding can be used to develop and/or enhance support services for children exposed to violence and to help family-serving organizations better recognize and help families at risk for violence. For the purposes of this solicitation, the term children exposed to violence" can include, but is not limited to child maltreatment, domestic or intimate partner violence, community violence, school violence, domestic violence, bullying and harassment by peers, and physical assault with or without weapons.

##   NIJ FY23 National Study Examining Interpersonal Violence Experienced By Young Adults

02/27/2023

04/28/2023

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks proposals for a nationally representative, longitudinal study examining long-term trajectories of risk for, experiences with, and recovery after experiencing interpersonal violence (IV, victimization and perpetration) among young adults who do and do not attend college. NIJ is interested in a range of IV committed by partners, family members, acquaintances, and strangers, including nonconsensual sexual contact, intimate partner violence, and stalking. Applicants are strongly encouraged to refer to and familiarize themselves with the recommended study design outlined in the final report for the National Study of Young Adults, Longitudinal Cohort Pilot Study (see https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/300704.pdf) and the relevant study data and materials at the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research’s (ICPSR) National Archive of Criminal Justice Data or NACJD (ICPSR 37914, https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/NACJD/studies/37914). However, applicants are not limited to these previous recommendations and study materials. Applicants who demonstrate that they will augment the study design to reflect present day contexts and conditions, and/or offer newer and innovative methods, modes, and approaches that enhance efficiency and effectiveness, will be given greater consideration. NIJ expects that this effort will be funded incrementally, subject to the availability of funds. Applicants are expected to develop their project design in phases with discrete deliverables at the end of each phase, and to budget accordingly. The funds provided with this solicitation in FY 2023 are intended to support only the initial phase(s) of this multi-year effort. The SF-424 and JustGrants budget submitted with the application should reflect the initial phase(s) to be supported by funding available under this solicitation. The applicant’s proposed deliverables for the initial phase(s) must include, at a minimum, the deliverables identified under "Interim Project Deliverables" (see below under "Deliverables"). The applicant is also expected to provide, as a separate attachment, a budget for the full multi-year study using the budget template available at https://www.ojp.gov/funding/apply/forms/ojp-budget-detail-worksheet. It is anticipated that upon successful completion of the initial phase(s), subsequent years of the project will be funded as a supplement, subject to the availability of funds. NIJ will give special consideration to proposals with methods that include meaningful engagement with the people with lived experience of the subject of the study, including, but not limited to, justice practitioners, community members, crime victims, service providers, and individuals who have experienced justice system involvement. Applicants are encouraged to propose multidisciplinary research teams to build on the complementary strengths of different methods and areas of subject matter expertise. NIJ also seeks proposals that include consideration and measurement of issues of diversity, discrimination, and bias across age, gender and gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation, as applicable. Applications proposing research involving partnerships with criminal justice or other agencies, should include a letter of support, signed by an appropriate decision-making authority from each proposed, partnering agency. A letter of support should include the partnering agency’s acknowledgement that de-identified data derived from, provided to, or obtained through an award funded by NIJ will be archived by the grant recipient with the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) at the conclusion of the award. Applicants and their potential partners are encouraged to review NIJ’s data archiving guidance. If selected for an award, grantees will be expected to have a formal agreement in place with partnering agencies by January 1, 2024. That formal agreement must include a provision to meet the data archiving requirements of the award. NIJ seeks proposals that include robust, creative, and multi-pronged dissemination strategies that include strategic partnerships with organizations and associations that are best equipped to ensure that research findings lead to changes in policies and practices related to the subjects of study. Special consideration will be given to proposals that dedicate at least 15% of the requested project award funding toward implementing such strategies, as demonstrated in the Budget Worksheet and Budget Narrative. In the case of partnerships that will involve the use of federal award funds by multiple partnering agencies to carry out the proposed project, only one entity/partnering agency may be the applicant (as is the case with any application submitted in response to this solicitation); any others must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant is expected to conduct a majority of the work proposed.
