[Announcement Number 621]

Coordinated Community Responses

To Prevent Intimate Partner Violence;

Notice of Availability of Funds for

Fiscal Year 1996

Introduction

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 1996

funds for cooperative agreements

establishing community demonstration

projects to: (1) establish and enhance

community coalitions and coordinated

community responses for addressing

intimate partner violence; (2) establish

and enhance community programs

directed at the primary prevention of

intimate partner violence; (3) enhance

services directed at victims of intimate

partner abuse and their families; and (4)

evaluate the process and impact of the

coordinated community response on

reducing intimate partner violence.

CDC is committed to achieving the

health promotion and disease

prevention objectives described in

‘‘Healthy People 2000,’’ a national

activity to reduce morbidity and

mortality and improve the quality of
27880 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 107 / Monday, June 3, 1996 / Notices

life. This announcement is related to the

priority area of Violent and Abusive

Behavior. (For ordering a copy of

‘‘Healthy People 2000,’’ see the Section,

‘‘Where to Obtain Additional

Information.’’)

Authority

This program announcement is

authorized under sections 393 and 394

of the Public Health Service Act (42

U.S.C. 280b-1a and 280b-2) as amended.

Smoke-Free Workplace

CDC strongly encourages all grant

recipients to provide a smoke-free

workplace and promote the non-use of

all tobacco products, and Public Law

103–227, the Pro Children Act of 1994,

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

that receive Federal funds in which

education, library, day care, health care,

and early childhood development

services are provided to children.

Eligible Applicants

Assistance will be provided only to

nonprofit private organizations for

projects in local communities focusing

on the prevention of intimate partner

violence in towns, cities, and rural

America (communities which contain

fewer than 25,000 people and are not

part of a standard metropolitan

statistical area). Applicants may apply

for either Part 1 funding or Part 2

funding but not both. Applicants must

provide evidence of how various sectors

of the community will be participating

(see Part 1 applications), or are

presently participating (see Part 2

applications) in a community coalition

to prevent intimate partner violence (see

Definitions and Program Requirements

sections). (The eligible applicants are

limited based upon language in Public

Law 103–222—September 13, 1994,

Chapter 6.)

Part 1: Funding under Part 1 is for

applicants from rural communities,

American Indian populations, and tribes and

tribal councils.

Part 2: Funding under Part 2 is for

applicants from towns, cities, and rural

communities. The applicants must provide

evidence of a functioning intimate partner

violence prevention coalition that is broadbased in the community, represents a crosssection of community sectors and

underserved populations including American

Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian/Pacific

Islanders, Blacks and Hispanics, and whose

participants’ roles, responsibilities, and

activities are well-defined and documented.

In addition, applicants under Part 2 must

address how an award under this program

announcement will enhance the community

coalition and broaden the existing prevention

efforts, activities, and services.

Availability of Funds

Approximately $3,000,000 is available

in FY 1996 to fund up to five projects.

Approximately 2 awards will be made

under Part 1 and are expected to range

from $200,000 to $250,000 with an

average award of $225,000 for year 1.

Approximately 3 awards will be made

under Part 2 and are expected to range

from $800,000 to $900,000 with an

average award of $850,000 for year 1.

Projects are expected to begin on or

about September 30, 1996. Awards will

be made for a 12-month budget period

within a project period of 3 years.

Funding estimates may vary and are

subject to change. These projects will be

awarded to organizations in

communities geographically dispersed

throughout the country. Noncompeting

continuation awards for new budget

periods within the approved project

period will be made on the basis of

satisfactory progress as evidenced by

required reports and site visits and the

availability of funds.

Note: At the request of the applicant,

Federal personnel may be assigned to a

project area in lieu of a portion of the

financial assistance.

Definitions

Intimate partner violence is

threatened or actual use of physical

force against an intimate partner that

either results in or has the potential to

result in injury or death. Violence of

this type includes the physical, sexual,

or psychological assault by partners or

acquaintances. Some commonly used

terms that are used to describe intimate

partner violence include domestic

violence, spouse abuse, woman

battering, courtship violence, sexual

assault, and date and partner rape. In

addition, child abuse is closely

associated with intimate partner

violence.

Coordinated community responses

incorporate various community sectors

(see definition of Community Coalition)

and employ strategies and interventions

aimed at preventing the incidence of

intimate partner violence, delivering

services to victims, and reducing

resulting injuries or death. Coordinated

community responses should employ an

effective coalition-building component

to create, refine, or expand ongoing

prevention strategies and services

through increased communication,

cooperation, and coordination among all

participating sectors. Critical to the

coalition-building process is: (1) clear

identification of roles and

responsibilities for those sectors

represented in the coalition, (2) explicit

commitments to fulfill those

responsibilities by providing services,

conducting specific prevention

activities, and providing both human

and financial resources, and (3) clear

and open communication among

coalition working partners.

Primary Prevention: Successful

primary prevention programs would

prevent intimate partner violence from

occurring in the first place. Primary

prevention may work by modifying the

events, conditions, situations, or

exposure to influences that result in the

initiation of intimate partner violence

and associated injuries, disabilities, and

deaths. Examples of primary prevention

could include: school-based violence

prevention curricula, programs aimed at

mitigating the effects on children of

witnessing intimate partner violence,

community campaigns designed to alter

norms and values conducive to intimate

partner violence, worksite prevention

programs, and training and education in

parenting skills and self-esteem

enhancement.

Community coalition is a working

team of persons drawn from various

community sectors; the sectors may

include (but are not limited to): State

and local health departments,

representatives from the health care

community, the law enforcement and

criminal justice system, State and local

domestic violence and rape prevention

programs, State sexual assault

prevention coalitions, the education

community (public and private schools,

colleges and universities), the religious

community, human service entities such

as child welfare agencies, substance

abuse programs, mental health

programs, business and civic leaders,

and the media. A female victim of

intimate violence should also be

included as a full participating team

member. The coalition will serve a

community leadership function,

bringing together leaders from each

sector of the community to develop a

coordinated response to the prevention

of intimate partner violence. The

community coalition may also identify,

select, and oversee a steering committee

consisting of representatives of the

various community sectors who will

chair subcommittees of the coalition

focusing on specific intimate partner

violence prevention and service

delivery strategies. See Application

Content section of the program

announcement included in the

application kit for greater detail.

Comparison community is one that

closely resembles the applicant’s

community in the following areas:

population size and community setting

(urban/suburban/rural), ethnic

composition, socioeconomic
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 107 / Monday, June 3, 1996 / Notices 27881

characteristics, and reported rates of

intimate partner violence (number of

reported cases per 1,000 women in the

community ages 12–45). Sources of data

must be consistent between both the

comparison and applicant communities.

Purpose

The purposes of this program are to:

1. Establish and enhance community

coalitions and coordinated community

responses for addressing intimate

partner violence;

2. Establish and enhance community

programs directed at the primary

prevention of intimate partner violence;

3. Enhance services directed at

victims of intimate partner abuse and

their families; and

4. Evaluate the process and impact of

the coordinated community response on

reducing intimate partner violence.

Part 1: The purpose of funding is to

help designated communities lacking

intimate partner violence prevention

coalitions, or whose coalitions are in the

early stages of development, build their

coalitions and begin to develop a

coordinated community response to the

problem of intimate partner violence.

Developing the coalition will establish

networking and communication that

will enhance the funding recipient

community’s ability to respond to

intimate partner violence. In addition,

all recipients of this funding will

collaborate with CDC and co-recipients,

throughout the entire 3-year program

period to evaluate the process of

organizing intimate partner violence

prevention coalitions and the resulting

coordinated community responses.

Part 2: The purpose of funding under

Part 2 is to (1) enhance and broaden in

designated communities already

existing community coalitions and

coordinated community responses

aimed at reducing intimate partner

violence; (2) implement coalitioninitiated primary prevention programs

to prevent intimate partner violence;

and (3) evaluate the impact of these

activities on members of the applicant’s

community as compared to persons in

comparison communities lacking

coordinated community responses. This

evaluation will be accomplished in part

by means of a cross-site survey among

all recipients of Part 2 funding and

requires applicants to identify and

assure the participation of a matched

comparison community (see Definitions,

Program Requirements, and Application

Content (in the program announcement)

sections). In addition, applicants will

conduct an inventory of new and

existing programs in both intervention

and comparison sites.

Applicants receiving funding will be

collaborating with CDC and the other

recipients throughout the entire

program period (3 years) in developing

core process evaluation protocols and

instruments (Parts 1 and 2 recipients),

outcome protocols and instruments

(Part 2 recipients), and the inventory

data collection protocol (Parts 1 and 2

recipients). Efforts to address intimate

partner violence should effectively

reach racial, cultural, ethnic and

language minorities.

Comprehensive efforts may include,

but are not limited to the following

strategies:

Primary Prevention Programs

1. Outreach, public awareness

campaigns, and community education

to dispel misconceptions about intimate

partner violence and change knowledge,

attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that

cause or promote intimate partner

violence.

2. School-based interventions

designed to promote healthy

relationships and prevent dating

violence.

3. School-based protocols to identify

and assist school-age children who

witness partner violence in the home.

4. Strategies aimed at improving

parenting skills, improving job skills,

increasing self-esteem, and bringing

persons at risk for intimate partner

violence into community programs.

5. Worksite violence prevention

education programs.

Service Provision

1. Expansion of emergency shelter

and support services for victims.

2. Coordination of programs, services,

and working relationships among

various community sectors.

3. Victim identification and referral

protocols in settings such as managed

care facilities, hospitals, health

departments, social services facilities,

and the workplace.

4. The application of community

policing to the prevention of intimate

partner violence and rape (with

enhanced arrest procedures).

Treatment

1. Expansion of court-ordered

treatment programs for batterers and

rapists.

2. Therapeutic interventions for

battered women, and for children who

witness intimate partner violence in the

home.

Training, Education, and Information

1. Training about intimate partner

violence and rape for justice and law

enforcement personnel, health care

providers, social services personnel, etc.

2. Media campaigns on the

availability of and access to community

services for intimate partner violence.
