This funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support research projects that will examine the etiology and consequences of violence as they relate to the health of individuals and communities. In addition, it will provide support for research projects that rigorously test the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions to prevent violence and its precursors, using strong empirical designs. Finally, it will support studies to enhance effective dissemination and implementation of evidence-based strategies into clinical and community settings.
For this FOA, violence is defined as The intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation. (World Report on Violence and Health, 2002).
While violence-related research has been ongoing at NIH for many years, a number of expert meetings and reports generated by scientific health policy and research organizations including the World Health Organization (2010; 2002), the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council (2003), the National Institutes of Health (2004), the National Academies of Science (2004, 2010, 2011, 2012a, 2012b), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2009) and the National Institute of Justice (2011) have explicated the need for additional, comprehensive, and rigorously designed studies to advance understanding of the underlying behavioral, neural, and genetic mechanisms of violence; public health impacts (including individual and societal costs) of violence; the cognitive, behavioral, pharmacological, determinants of violence; risk and protective factors at the individual, family, and community level; the development and testing of safe, effective and cost effective interventions to reduce and/or prevent violence and its precursors, and the best strategies to increase adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions. Further research is warranted in these areas as applied to all types of violence, particularly in the case of firearm violence, which has such high morbidity and mortality. At the request of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Institute of Medicine recently developed a proposed public health research agenda to improve knowledge of the causes of firearm violence, the interventions that prevent firearm violence, and strategies to minimize the public health burden of firearm violence (2013).
According to the World Health Organization (2010) violence is responsible for 1.6 million deaths annually worldwide. In the United States in 2009 almost 16,800 people were victims of homicide and an additional nearly 37,000 took their own life (CDC, 2009). In 2010, 11,078 individuals died by firearm homicide, while 19,932 died by firearm suicide (http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/pdf/10LCID_Violence_Related_Injury_Deaths_2010-a.pdf). For many more individuals experiencing or witnessing a violent event,, violence contributes to acute and chronic health and mental health consequences. A critical consideration for research and prevention is that violence occurs in different forms and at varying risk levels throughout the life course, with important implications for human development. It is important to distinguish between exposure to chronic violence and exposure to episodic violent events, as these affect health differently.
More than 50% of all suicides involve the use of a firearm and firearms were used in 44% of suicide deaths among persons under the age of 25 in 2010 (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, 2012). Research has shown that the risk of youth suicide increases in homes where firearms are kept unlocked and/or loaded . However, more consistent survey measurement approaches would allow for refined analyses that could enhance the understanding of the role of storage of firearms on mortality risk for all age groups .
Intimate partner violence can be fatal when a firearm is involved. Female homicide victimization rates have been significantly associated with firearm availability. The overall number of firearm homicides among intimates has fallen considerably during the past 30 years, but more should be understood about why this has happened and how this knowledge might inform new strategies to reduce firearm violence.
Several NIH ICs and components of the Office of the Director are participating in this FOA. The FOA supports studies that include the violence, injury and death that occur as a result of firearms, and the particular populations most affected by armed violence throughout the human lifespan. The scope of the FOA also includes, but is not limited to intimate partner violence, youth violence (including gang violence), and self-directed violence (suicide). The subject of this FOA spans across the missions of several NIH Institutes, Offices, and Centers (ICs) and includes basic neuroscience and basic behavioral research, clinical and translational studies, intervention development at the individual, family, and community level, efficacy trials of interventions based on evidence from basic and translational studies, and research to identify the best ways to disseminate and implement efficacious and evidence based interventions in real-world settings. While this FOA covers all of the areas mentioned above, particular consideration will be given to applications that propose studies of the intersection that focus on the various types of violence (homicide, suicide, youth and gang-related, intimate partner) and firearms.
Following are topic areas that are of particular interest to each IC.
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
The NIAAA welcomes applications that explore the etiology, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of alcohol-related violence as described below.
Studies should be designed as to permit identification of mediating/ moderating factors that may reduce alcohol-related violence. Investigators are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to test or evaluate interventions that occur (or have occurred) "naturally" in the community or society, such as changes in laws, police monitoring, initiation/ enforcement of responsible beverage service, community-wide campaigns similar to those that have focused on reducing drunk driving, and changes in land use zoning laws. Alternatively, researchers may choose to design, develop, modify, or adapt the interventions that they plan to test. Prevention approaches might be applied universally, or aimed at targeted or indicated individuals.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
NICHD is interested in applications that explore short- and long-term consequences of child maltreatment, violence, and exposure to violence on the family and children. Applications may address, but not be limited to the following research objectives:
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
High priority topics for NIDA include:
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
The NIMH supports research across several Divisions that may be relevant to research as described in this FOA. NIMH will accept and consider funding applications focused solely on the intersection of mental illness and violence. Priority areas of interest are limited to:
Applicants interested in submitting clinical trials are strongly encouraged to consult with Program Staff well in advance of a submission. Experimental medicine type trials (medication and psychosocial) for proof of concept efforts to demonstrate target engagement, safety, and early signs of efficacy will be viewed as high priority (see http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/director/2012/experimental-medicine.shtml). Applications proposing clinical trials to evaluate interventions to prevent or treat mental illness associated with violence should specify which psychological constructs, neurocognitive operations, or biological variables (i.e., mechanisms") are thought to underlie the mental illness under investigation. Applicants must describe how the proposed intervention is expected to impact hypothesized mechanisms, and how this relationship will be measured. When relevant, investigators are encouraged to conceptualize their research using the constructs and units of analysis defined in the Research Domain Criteria framework (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/research-priorities/rdoc/index.shtm).
For additional information on NIMH interests, opportunities, and contacts see http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/organization/nimh-extramural-research-programs.shtml and http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/organization/extramural-programs-and-contacts-listed-by-division.shtml\.

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
For this particular announcement, note the following:
The R03 small grant supports discrete, well-defined projects that realistically can be completed in two years and that require limited levels of funding. Because the research project usually is limited, an R03 grant application may not contain extensive detail or discussion. Accordingly, reviewers should evaluate the conceptual framework and general approach to the problem. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required, particularly in applications proposing pilot or feasibility studies.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD/PI, do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Guidelines
for the Review of Human Subjects.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Guidelines for the Review of Inclusion in Clinical Research.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Resubmissions
For Resubmissions, the committee will evaluate the application as now presented, taking into consideration the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group and changes made to the project.
Renewals
Not Applicable
Revisions
For Revisions, the committee will consider the appropriateness of the proposed expansion of the scope of the project. If the Revision application relates to a specific line of investigation presented in the original application that was not recommended for approval by the committee, then the committee will consider whether the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group are adequate and whether substantial changes are clearly evident.
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
Not Applicable
Select Agent Research
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1) the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research, 2) the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used, 3) the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent(s), and 4) plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent(s).
Resource Sharing Plans
Reviewers will comment on whether the following Resource Sharing Plans, or the rationale for not sharing the following types of resources, are reasonable: 1) Data Sharing Plan; 2) Sharing Model Organisms; and 3) Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
Budget and Period of Support
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by (an) appropriate Scientific Review Group(s), in accordance with NIH peer review policy and procedures, using the stated review criteria. Assignment to a Scientific Review Group will be shown in the eRA Commons.
As part of the scientific peer review, all applications:
Applications will be assigned on the basis of established PHS referral guidelines to the appropriate NIH Institute or Center. Applications will compete for available funds with all other recommended applications. Following initial peer review, recommended applications will receive a second level of review by the appropriate national Advisory Council or Board. The following will be considered in making funding decisions:
After the peer review of the application is completed, the PD/PI will be able to access his or her Summary Statement (written critique) via the eRA Commons.
Information regarding the disposition of applications is available in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
