Research To Improve Smoke Alarm Maintenance and Function; Notice 
of Availability of Funds

    Application Deadline: July 3, 2003.

A. Authority and Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number

    This program is authorized under sections 391 and 301(a) of the 
Public Health Service Act, (42 U.S.C. 280b and 241(a)). The Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance number is 93.136.

B. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2003 funds for a cooperative agreement 
for a randomized control study that will extend the current knowledge 
about what is the most effective approach to improve smoke alarm 
maintenance and function to reduce fire-related injuries. This study 
addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area, Injury and Violence 
Prevention.
    The purpose of this funding is to determine the most effective 
approach to encourage behaviors that will improve smoke alarm 
maintenance and function over time. The applicant will develop a 
research model and implement a rigorous study to be conducted in a 
community setting that will:
    1. Employ a variety of scientifically based strategies that are 
grounded in behavioral theory to improve household smoke alarm 
maintenance and function.
    2. Evaluate the relative effectiveness of the proposed strategies 
over a minimum 18 months follow-up period when compared to control 
households. This study is intended to stimulate collaborative research 
by creating a community-based infrastructure in which State Health 
Departments will partner with university researchers and fire 
prevention organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate strategies 
to improve smoke alarm maintenance and long-term function.
    Measurable outcomes of this research study will be in alignment 
with the following performance goal for the National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC), described as a priority in the NCIPC 
Research Agenda: To conduct a targeted program of research to reduce 
injury-related death and disability.

E. Program Requirements

Overall Study Objectives

    The objective of this study is to develop and implement an 
effective behavioral approach that will improve household smoke alarm 
maintenance and long-term function. Research shows that functioning 
smoke alarms are more likely to be present in a home if a fire safety 
program provides and installs them instead of simply providing vouchers 
or discounts to individuals to obtain alarms. CDC programs currently 
being conducted in 16 states include home installation of smoke alarms 
plus general fire safety education in households at high risk for fire, 
fire-related injury, and death. Programs of this type seem reasonable 
but have not been evaluated scientifically to assess their impact on 
smoke alarm maintenance and function. Such studies would target 
vulnerable populations (e.g., children under the age of five, adults 
age 65 and older, persons with low socioeconomic status) and 
incorporate training in smoke alarm testing behaviors, skill building, 
monitoring, educational boosters, reinforcement, modeling and/or 
practice behaviors, and self-efficacy to improve smoke alarm 
maintenance and to sustain alarm function over time.
    In conducting activities to achieve the purpose of this study, the 
recipient will be responsible for the activities listed in 1. Recipient 
Activities, and CDC will be responsible for the activities listed in 2. 
CDC Activities.
1. Recipient Activities
    a. Develop mutually beneficial collaborations among at least a 
State Health Department, academic or research institution, and a fire 
prevention agency. Identify agencies and organizations with the 
capacity to implement behavioral theory-based interventions.
    b. Develop and implement a plan to obtain community input and 
develop partnerships to work together to reduce fire-related injuries 
by increasing smoke alarm maintenance and function among vulnerable 
populations in the community.
    c. Develop a research model and implement a randomized study with 
at least two intervention groups plus a comparison group. All groups 
will receive home visits. One intervention will include smoke alarm 
installation and behavioral strategies (e.g., that employ training in 
smoke alarm testing behaviors, skill building, monitoring, educational 
boosters, reinforcement, modeling and/or practice behaviors, and self-
efficacy) to improve smoke alarm maintenance and function. A second 
intervention will include smoke alarm installation with general fire 
safety education. This intervention will use a theory-based educational 
program incorporating behavioral guidance (e.g., fire escape planning, 
safe use of heaters, the need to maintain and test smoke alarms). The 
comparison households will receive home visits and a non-fire related, 
other public health educational program incorporating behavioral 
guidance (e.g., nutritional counseling and diet planning).
    d. Develop an evaluation plan that includes both process and 
outcome measures. Assess effectiveness by comparing smoke alarm 
function among all three groups of households after a follow-up period 
of at least 18 months. Additional interim follow-up intervals could 
also be incorporated into the evaluation design.
    e. Develop data collection instruments and methods, and a 
coordinated system for data management and data quality assurance.
    f. Travel to Atlanta annually to present a briefing to NCIPC staff 
describing progress to date.
2. CDC Activities
    a. Provide up-to-date scientific information and technical 
assistance to awardee to assist in their final study design, 
intervention strategies and implementation.
    b. Assist in developing a research protocol for annual 
Institutional Review Board (IRB) review by all cooperating institutions 
participating in the research study. The CDC IRB will review and 
approve the protocol initially and on at least an annual basis until 
the research study is completed.
    c. Assist in ensuring human subjects assurances are in place.
    d. Assist in data analysis, preparation of manuscripts and 
dissemination of study results.
    e. Monitor and evaluate the scientific and operational 
accomplishments of the project. This will be accomplished through 
periodic site visits, telephone calls, electronic communication, 
technical reports and interim data analyses.

H. Evaluation Process and Criteria

Application

    Applications which are complete and responsive may be subjected to 
a preliminary evaluation (streamline review) by a peer review 
committee, the Special Emphasis Panel (SEP), to determine if the 
application is of sufficient and scientific merit to warrant further 
review by the SEP. CDC will withdraw from further consideration 
applications judged to be noncompetitive and promptly notify the 
principal investigator/program director and the official signing for 
the applicant organization. A dual review process will evaluate 
applications that are complete and responsive.
    All awards will be determined by the Director of the NCIPC based on 
priority scores assigned to applications by the primary review 
committee SEP, recommendations by the secondary review committee of the 
Science and Program Review Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee for 
Injury Prevention and Control (ACIPC), consultation with NCIPC senior 
staff, and the availability of funds.
    1. The primary review will be a peer review conducted by the SEP. A 
committee of reviewers with appropriate expertise will review all 
applications for scientific merit using current National Institutes of 
Health (NIH) criteria (a scoring system of 100-500 points) to evaluate 
the methods and scientific quality of the application. All categories 
are of equal importance, however, the application does not need to be 
strong in all categories to be judged likely to have a major scientific 
impact.

the applicant provide a detailed time-line for the first year of the 
study as well as a projected time-line for the subsequent four years?
    Has the applicant clearly described how intervention and comparison 
households will be selected; the process by which households will be 
randomized; and how households will be accessed, recruited and 
retained? Does the applicant describe a proposed intervention strategy 
that will use behavioral strategies to improve smoke alarm maintenance 
and function over time?
    Is there a statement as to whether the plans for recruitment and 
outreach for study participants include the process of establishing 
partnerships with community or communities and recognition of mutual 
benefits. Is there evidence of effective working relationships between 
the applicant and community organizations? Does the applicant describe 
experience in developing community partnerships and the community's 
current and anticipated capacity to carry out the proposed activities?
    Are there adequate plans for data collection and data management 
including security of data, assurance of participant confidentially, 
data entry, editing, and quality assurance procedures? Is there a 
statistical analysis plan appropriate for the study design?
    c. Innovation. Does the project employ novel concepts, approaches 
or methods? Are the aims original and innovative? Does the project 
challenge or advance existing paradigms, or develop new methodologies

take advantage of unique features of the scientific environment or 
employ useful collaborative arrangements?
    Is there evidence of institutional support? Does the applicant 
describe the personnel and study collaborators needed to accomplish the 
proposed activities? Does the applicant provide evidence that the study 
personnel have the expertise and capacity to accomplish the proposed 
activities and to provide appropriate scientific oversight necessary to 
fulfill study goals and objectives?
    Is there an appropriate degree of commitment and cooperation of 
other interested parties as evidenced by letters detailing the nature 
and extent of the involvement? Is there evidence of the experience and 
capacity for all key staff members including CVs and position 
descriptions?
    f. Study Samples. Are the samples rigorously defined to permit 
complete independent replication at another site? Have the referral 
sources been described, including the definitions and criteria? What 
plans have been made to include women and minorities and their 
subgroups as appropriate for the scientific goals of the research? How 
will the applicant deal with recruitment and retention of subjects?
    g. Ethical Issues. What provisions have been made for the 
protection of human subjects and the safety of the research 
environments? How does the applicant plan to handle issues of 
confidentiality and compliance with mandated reporting requirements, 
(e.g., suspected child abuse)?
    Does the application adequately address the requirements of 45 CFR 
part 46 for the protection of human subjects? Not scored; however, an 
application can be disapproved if the research risks are sufficiently 
serious and protection against risks is so inadequate as to make the 
entire application unacceptable.
    Does the application adequately address the CDC Policy requirements 
regarding the inclusion of women, ethnic, and racial groups in the 
proposed research? This includes:
    (1) The proposed plan for the inclusion of both sexes and racial 
and ethnic minority populations for appropriate representation.

outreach for study participants include the process of establishing 
partnerships with community(ies) and recognition of mutual benefits.
    h. Dissemination. What plans have been articulated for 
disseminating findings?
    i. Measures of Effectiveness. The Peer Review Panel shall assure 
that measures set forth in the application are in accordance with CDC's 
performance plans. How adequately has the applicant addressed these 
measures?
    j. Budget. The SEP will also examine the appropriateness of the 
proposed project budget and duration in relation to the proposed 
research and the availability of data required for the project.
    2. The secondary review will be conducted by the Science and 
Program Review Subcommittee (SPRS) of the Advisory Committee for Injury 
Prevention and Control (ACIPC). ACIPC Federal agency experts will be 
invited to attend the secondary review and will receive modified 
briefing books (i.e., abstracts, strengths and weaknesses from summary 
statements, and project officer's briefing materials). ACIPC Federal 
agency experts will be encouraged to participate in deliberations when 
applications address overlapping areas of research interest so that 
unwarranted duplication in federally funded research can be avoided and 
special subject area expertise can be shared. The NCIPC Division 
Associate Directors for Science (ADS) or their designees will attend 
the secondary review in a similar capacity as the ACIPC Federal agency 
experts to assure that research priorities of the announcement are 
understood and to provide background regarding current research 
activities. Only SPRS members will vote on funding recommendations, and 
their recommendations will be carried to the entire ACIPC for voting by 
the ACIPC members in closed session. If any further review is needed by 
the ACIPC, regarding the recommendations of the SPRS, the factors 
considered would be the same as those considered by the SPRS.
    The Subcommittee's responsibility is to develop funding 
recommendations for the NCIPC Director based on the results of the 
primary review, the relevance and balance of proposed research relative 
to the NCIPC programs and priorities, and to assure that unwarranted 
duplication of federally funded research does not occur. The secondary 
review Subcommittee has the latitude to recommend to the NCIPC 
Director, to reach over better-ranked proposals in order to assure 
maximal impact and balance of proposed research. The factors to be 
considered will include:
    a. The results of the primary review including the application's 
priority score as the primary factor in the selection process.
    b. The relevance and balance of proposed research relative to the 
NCIPC programs and priorities.
    c. The significance of the proposed activities in relation to the 
priorities and objectives stated in ``Healthy People 2010'', the 
Institute of Medicine report, ``Reducing the Burden of Injury'', and 
the NCIPC Injury ``Research Agenda.''
    d. Budgetary considerations including the extent to which the 
budget is reasonable, clearly justified, and consistent with the 
intended use of funds.

I. Other Requirements
