OpportunityTitle: Maintaining Collection of National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) Data CDC- RFA-CE07- 704
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Six states, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina  and Virginia State Health Departments were initially funded to implement NVDRS in 2007. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is limited to these states: 1) to provide comparable data from a group of states over time, therefore, allowing national, state and local public health agencies to assess trends more quickly; 2) to maintain the infrastructure that has already been created to collect violent deaths; and 3) to maximize public health expenditures by building on current experience and work.
Description: The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support 6 applicants through cooperative agreements for 1 year to maintain and expand their capacity to collect and disseminate accurate, timely, and comprehensive surveillance data on all violent deaths occurring in their states. Specifically, applicants will 1) complete ongoing collection of comprehensive surveillance data on all violent deaths occurring in 2012 across three required data sources, death certificate, coroner/medical examiner report, and law enforcement reports, 2) collect preliminary data for all violent deaths occurring in 2013 from at least one data source (death certificate, coroner/medical examiner report, or law enforcement report) including abstractor manner of death and 3) initiate data collection on a portion of violent deaths occurring between January 1, 2014 and April 30, 2014. The collection and use of this data is designed to support the national goal of reducing and preventing violent death in the United States and supporting systematic collection of data on violent deaths across all 50 states.
