Overview Information This notice announces the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) intent to extend the funds to the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault with Rape Prevention and Education funds. Federal Agency Name: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Funding Opportunity Title: Electronic Learning (E-Learning) Collaborative Resource Center for SV and IPV Prevention Practitioners. Announcement Type: Cooperative Agreement. Agency Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-CE12-1204. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.136 Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs. Dates: September 30, 2017 until January 30, 2019. Executive Summary The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is providing $536,733 in funding through the CE12-1204, Electronic Learning (E-Learning) Collaborative Resource Center for Sexual Violence (SV) and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Prevention Practitioners Cooperative Agreement to the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault to offer online training and convene an Electronic Learning Collaborative (ELC) to enhance the capacity and skills of local, state, and national SV and IPV practitioners to develop, implement and evaluate SV and IPV prevention efforts. Part II. Full Text Funding Opportunity Description (a) Background Since September 30, 2012, the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA), through its national on-line e-learning project PreventConnect, has provided training and technical assistance to CDC's Rape Prevention Education (RPE) and DELTA FOCUS grantees and the broader IPV and SV prevention practice fields. CALCASA has developed the technical infrastructure and staff expertise to support multiple web-based platforms (webinars, podcasts, on-line trainings, wiki, etc.) to serve a large audience and disseminate the best available research and practice knowledge for IPV and SV prevention. This work strengthens the capacity and skills of local, state and national violence prevention practitioners. The current project period ends on Sept. 29, 2017, however, the CDC-funded SV and IPV projects that PreventConnect supports (RPE and DELTA FOCUS) continue beyond this project period end. The additional funds and 16-months extension for the cooperative agreement, CE12-1204 (CALCASA/PreventConnect) is critical and essential for the successful implementation and completion of the CDC CE13-1302 (Delta Focus) and CDC CE-14-1401 (Rape Prevention and Education Program) projects. The funding will: assure that the targeted audiences for the e-learning project will not experience an interruption of expert TA and Training support prior to the end of the current RPE and DELTA FOCUS project periods and allow for future SV and IPV new FOA/ project periods to be aligned with one another more effectively and be developed with complementary goals, objectives and deliverables. To address IPV, CDC has funded, since 2002, the Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership through Alliances (DELTA) program, which seeks to build the capacity of state coalitions addressing IPV to support IPV primary prevention efforts. To address SV, CDC has funded, since 1995, the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program, to address risk and protective factors to prevent first time perpetration and victimization of SV. Both DELTA and RPE have similar goals, to build capacity for primary prevention; utilization of the Public Health Approach, Socioecological Model, and evidence informed strategies. From 2005 to 2012, a State Sexual Assault Coalition was funded to provide support for CDC funded SV and IPV prevention grantees and nationwide practitioners through innovative online technology communication channels. In cooperation with CDC, they were able to develop and facilitate ongoing discussions where SV and IPV prevention practitioners had the opportunity to network, share ideas, discuss successes and challenges, and learn from each other. Building prevention system capacity at the state health department and state coalition levels are critical in maintaining an infrastructure that supports prevention efforts. The E-Learning Collaborative provides an interactive environment via training, education, and dialogue for two separate sets of prevention grantees to collectively come together and share, learn, network, and reach the goal of peer based learning. (b) CDC Project Description The purpose of this Funding Registry Notice (FRN) is to provide funds for 16 months, beginning with fiscal year (FY) 2017, to: Continue offering web-based training that enhances skills and capacity of CDC SV and IPV prevention grantees to prevent SV and IPV; convene an E- Learning Collaborative among CDC funded SV and IPV prevention grantees that enhances training received; and build a broader network of national, state, and local SV and IPV prevention practitioners, regardless of funding sources, using multiple media channels, including interactive web conferences, podcasts, interactive listserv, and social media to share, connect, and enhance their skills and capacity to prevent SV and IPV. Core Activities 1. Develop and conduct 3-4 training web conferences annually, in collaboration with CDC that are [[Page 26801]] interactive and have practical applications. Participants should be CDC funded SV and IPV prevention grantees and their partners, including state health departments, sexual assault coalitions and domestic violence coalitions. Training topics that meet the needs of SV and IPV grantees and are focused on improving primary prevention practices include but are not limited to:Using data and evidence to inform their prevention efforts, Working with stakeholders internal and external to their organizations to build prevention system capacity, and Implementing and evaluating prevention strategies that address risk and protective factors for SV and IPV. 2. Convene an E-Learning Collaborative for CDC funded SV and IPV prevention grantees and their partners, including state health departments, sexual assault coalitions and domestic violence coalitions. Peer based learning should be focused on topics that further support the skill-based training received through web conferences. Such topics may include: Individual and community level shared risk and protective factors, Indicators for evaluation that will promote prevention efforts and support building evidence based strategies, Building evaluation capacity at state and local levels, Building organizational capacity, Implementation of community change strategies or outer layer ecological approach strategies, Strategies related to social determinants of health. These opportunities may include electronically convening sub- collaboratives or sub-groups by geographic location/region, resources, or by topical interests. 3. Develop and conduct 3-4 training web conferences annually, in collaboration with CDC, to address the needs of SV and IPV prevention practitioners at state, local and tribal agencies. Topics should be focused on SV and IPV primary prevention. Information provided to SV and IPV practitioners should be equally distributed between SV and IPV. 4. Develop and conduct podcasts that highlight SV and IPV primary prevention work in the field. 5. Develop and maintain an active email listserv where SV and IPV prevention practitioners can communicate and share about research, programs, practices and policies on SV and IPV primary prevention. 6. Use social media outlets to share, connect, and enhance SV and IPV primary prevention knowledge of research, programs, practices and policies. 7. Actively recruit new SV and IPV prevention practitioners amongst CDC funded SV and IPV grantees, local, state, national and tribal SV and IPV agencies and organizations, public health partners and those working in underserved communities, to engage in web conferences, podcasts, interactive email listserv and social media activities. Evaluation Activities 1. Develop and implement an evaluation plan with goals and objectives for the following evaluation activities with details on how the data will be shared with CDC 60 days after each assessment is completed, and how adjustments based on evaluation results will be made to activities and inform program improvement.
