Core State Injury Prevention Program (Core SIPP)

This forecast is for CDC's Core State Injury Prevention Program (Core SIPP), a cooperative agreement to support public health infrastructure, data, and partnerships to use data to identify potential risk and inform the implementation of strategies to prevent unintentional injury. Actions using the best available evidence are intended to increase protective factors and reduce risk factors for injuries and death. This approach includes engaging in robust state-based data and surveillance and strengthening strategic collaborations and partnerships. The overall goal of this approach is to inform public health action for injury prevention. Recipients will focus on traumatic brain injury, older adult falls, and drowning, and are encouraged to examine their data to address identified priority injury topics of local concern that recipients do not currently receive CDC funding to address (e.g., transportation safety). Key outcomes include increased knowledge and use of emerging data sources, increased knowledge and translation of data, increased dissemination of surveillance data, increased community partnerships, and enhanced multi-sector partnerships. Additional outcomes include enhanced access to data and systems, increased use of data to identify populations with high rates of injury, increased capacity to strengthen communities, sustained injury prevention public health actions, increased adoption of continuous quality improvement practices, and strengthened coordination among partners to leverage and maximize resources. Applications are not being solicited currently. This forecast is provided to allow potential applicants time to begin planning, review relevant data, and consider partnerships and prevention strategies that may align with this anticipated opportunity.
