FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: Youth and Community Violence Prevention Action Teams (VPAT)

Nov 05, 2024 | Bailey McInnes

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NACCHO is pleased to announce the Youth and Community Violence Prevention Action Teams (VPAT) program. Through this funding opportunity, NACCHO will provide up to $50,000 each for a maximum of 6 awardees.

This funding opportunity is open to jurisdictions with high rates of youth and community violence, particularly firearm homicide, disproportionately affecting communities of color. The current funding opportunity aims to support multisector violence prevention efforts by forming Youth and Community Violence Prevention Action Teams, hereafter referred to as “action teams.” The project aims to support new or existing action teams to develop plans that:

  1. Build capacity to implement evidence- based/evidence-informed violence prevention and intervention strategies, in particular strategies that seek to address the community conditions, and social and economic systems, that can increase risk of violence (see page 59 of CDC’s Community Violence Prevention Resource for Action).
  2. Reframe youth and community violence as a public health issue within their community.
  3. For action teams previously funded by NACCHO under cooperative agreement 6 NU38OT000306-05-06 with CDC: Build upon the momentum and progress by enhancing existing strategies or introducing new approaches that address emerging challenges, strengthen partnerships, or deepen community engagement.

NACCHO invites interested applicants to participate in an optional informational webinar on Friday, November 12th at 2:00 PM ET to review the RFP and respond to questions. Interested participants can register for the live webinar or access the recording here. Please note that no new information will be shared during the webinar, and applicants do not need to wait for this optional webinar to begin or submit applications.

For full details about the funding opportunity, please review the Request for Proposals. Applications must be submitted using NACCHO’s online portal no later than December 6th by 5:00 pm ET. Submissions after this deadline will not be considered. Applicants may pose individual questions to NACCHO at any point during the application process by emailing the Injury Violence and Prevention Team at [email protected] with subject line “VPAT RFP Question.” Questions received will be added to our frequently asked questions (FAQ) document, which will be updated at a minimum, weekly on Fridays throughout the application period.
