Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CE 19 004
The grant opportunity titled "Etiologic and Effectiveness Research to Address Polysubstance Impaired Driving" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CE 19 004) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to build stronger evidence around crashes, injuries, and deaths linked to driving while impaired by more than one substance. The focus is specifically on polysubstance impairment that includes alcohol combined with at least one additional drug, such as marijuana or prescription or illicit opioids. The underlying goal is twofold: first, to improve understanding of why and under what conditions polysubstance impaired driving occurs, and second, to determine which prevention approaches actually work in reducing these events and their harms.
The opportunity is organized around two main research priorities. Research Priority 1 supports etiologic research, meaning studies aimed at identifying and explaining the characteristics of polysubstance impaired driving and the factors that increase or decrease risk. Projects in this area would typically examine who is most likely to drive while impaired by alcohol plus other drugs, what behavioral or environmental circumstances contribute (for example, patterns of substance use, access to transportation alternatives, social norms, or policy environments), and what protective factors might reduce the likelihood of impaired driving or reduce severity of outcomes. The intent is to generate actionable knowledge about drivers, contexts, and pathways that lead to polysubstance impaired driving and its associated injuries and fatalities.
Research Priority 2 supports effectiveness research, meaning evaluation studies that test interventions intended to prevent polysubstance impaired driving and reduce related injuries and deaths. This priority is aimed at determining which strategies are most effective when alcohol is used alongside other substances like marijuana or opioids. Depending on the proposed approach, this could include evaluating programs, policies, enforcement strategies, screening and referral practices, public education efforts, or other interventions, with a clear emphasis on measurable outcomes tied to impaired driving behavior and its consequences. The key expectation is that studies move beyond describing the problem and instead assess what works, for whom, and under what conditions.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which generally means recipients can expect substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project period compared with a more hands-off grant mechanism. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number listed for the opportunity is 93.136, and the activity category is Health.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. In practical terms, the program is open to a wide range of research-capable organizations, including academic centers, governmental public health and safety agencies, nonprofits with relevant expertise, and private-sector entities positioned to conduct rigorous research or program evaluation.
In terms of funding scale and competition, the award ceiling is $350,000, and the CDC anticipated making approximately four awards. The opportunity record shows a creation date of December 12, 2018, with an original application deadline of March 15, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, the grant is aimed at strengthening the evidence base for addressing a specific and increasingly important traffic safety and injury prevention problem: impaired driving that involves alcohol plus other drugs. By supporting both etiologic studies (to clarify risk and protective factors) and effectiveness studies (to identify interventions that reduce harm), the program is structured to help public health and safety stakeholders better target prevention efforts and deploy resources toward strategies with demonstrated impact.Apply for RFA CE 19 004
