Cooperative Agreement for Research on the Association Between 
Exposure to Media Violence and Youth Violence

    Announcement Type: New.
    Funding Opportunity Number: 04060.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.136.
    Key Dates:
    Letter of Intent Deadline: December 29, 2003.
    Application Deadline: February 17, 2004.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Authority: This program is authorized under section 301 (a) [42 
U.S.C. 241(a)] of the Public Health Service Act and section 391 
(a)[42 U.S.C. 280b (a)] of the Public Service Health Act, as 
amended.

    Purpose: The purpose of the program is to conduct methodologically 
sound research on how media violence affects youth violent behavior. 
This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area of Injury 
and Violence Prevention.
    Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the 
following performance goal for the National Center for Injury 
Prevention and Control (NCIPC): Conduct a targeted program of research 
to reduce injury-related death and disability.

[[Page 66830]]

Research Objectives

    There has been a longstanding concern about the consequences of 
youths' exposure to violence in the media, with particular concern 
about the effects of such exposure on violent behavior. Recent studies 
have documented the profusion of different types of media in United 
States homes \1-3\ and the widespread presence of violence in these 
media outlets.\4,5\ The emergence and proliferation of new media (e.g., 
video games, music videos, Internet sites, and DVD) have increased 
opportunities for children and youth to be exposed to violence. Despite 
the fact that there has been extensive research on this subject, at 
least three key gaps remain in our understanding of the relationship 
between youth exposure to media violence and violent behavior. First, 
more information is needed about the effects of different types of new 
media and their content on violent behavior. Second, while substantial 
research has described associations between exposure to violent media 
on attitudes and measures of aggression, less is known about the extent 
to which exposure to violent media is associated with risk for more 
serious forms of violence, including victimization and perpetration 
resulting in injury. Third, a relatively small subset of youth may be 
particularly susceptible to the effects of exposure to violent media. 
Additional research is needed to understand the individual and 
contextual factors that influence the association between exposure to 
violent media and risk for violence.
    The purpose of the current program announcement is to conduct 
methodologically sound research on how media influences youth 
susceptibility to violence. Project proposals should be designed to: 
(1) Examine the association between exposure to violent media and 
serious violent behavior, including victimization and perpetration 
resulting in injury; (2) include an assessment of the specific aspects 
of media (e.g., type and content) that are likely to contribute to risk 
for violence; and (3) identify individual and contextual factors that 
mediate or moderate the association between exposure to violent media 
and serious violent behavior, with particular attention to the 
potential moderating effects of gender and prior exposure to real-life 
violence.

Funding Priority

    Priority will be given to research proposals that include a focus 
on (a) new forms of media; (b) serious forms of violence, including 
victimization and perpetration resulting in injury; and (c) describing 
the individual and contextual factors that influence the association 
between exposure to violent media and risk for violence.

Activities

    Awardee activities for this program are as follows:
    1. In collaboration with CDC finalize the research design and 
methodology, data collection measures, analyses, and dissemination of 
the study results through publication and presentations.
    2. In collaboration with CDC finalize a research protocol for 
Institutional Review Board (IRB) review by all cooperating institutions 
participating in the research project.
    3. Conduct one reverse site visit to meet with CDC staff in Atlanta 
on an annual basis.
    4. Complete all required reports as specified under ``Reporting 
Requirements'' of this program announcement.
    In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff is substantially involved in 
the program activities, above and beyond routine grant monitoring.
    CDC activities for this program are as follows:
    1. Serve as co-investigator and provide scientific oversight. CDC 
will actively collaborate with project staff on decision-analyses, 
interpretation of findings, and dissemination of the study results 
through involvement in the production of publications and 
presentations.
    2. Assist in finalizing the research protocol for IRB review by all 
cooperating institutions participating in the research project. The CDC 
IRB will review and approve the protocol initially and on at least an 
annual basis until the research project is finished.
    3. Facilitate regular communication between CDC and the grantee to 
include, but not limited to site visits, conference calls, meetings, 
etc.

V. Application Review Information

    1. Criteria: You are required to provide measures of effectiveness 
that will demonstrate the accomplishment of the various identified 
objectives of the cooperative agreement. Measures of effectiveness must 
relate to the performance goals stated in the ``Purpose'' section of 
this announcement. Measures must be objective and quantitative, and 
must measure the intended outcome. These measures of effectiveness must 
be submitted with the application and will be an element of evaluation.
    The goals of CDC-supported research are to advance the 
understanding of biological systems, improve the control and prevention 
of disease, and enhance health. In the written comments, reviewers will 
be asked to evaluate the application in order to judge the likelihood 
that the proposed research will have a substantial impact on the 
pursuit of these goals. The scientific review group will address and 
consider each of the following criteria in assigning the application's 
overall score, weighting them as appropriate for each application.
    The application does not need to be strong in all categories to be 
judged likely to have major scientific impact and thus serve a high 
priority score. For example, an investigator may propose to carry out 
important work that by its nature is not innovative, but is essential 
to move a field forward.
    The criteria are as follows:
    Significance: Does this study address an important problem? If the 
aims of the application are achieved, how will scientific knowledge be 
advanced? What will be the effect of these studies on the concepts or 
methods that drive this field?
    Approach: Are the conceptual framework, design, methods, and 
analyses adequately developed, scientifically rigorous, well-
integrated, and appropriate to the aims of the project? Does the 
applicant acknowledge potential problem areas and consider alternative 
tactics?
    Innovation: Does the project employ novel concepts, approaches or 
methods? Are the aims original and innovative? Does the project 
challenge existing paradigms or develop new methodologies or 
technologies?
    Investigator: Is the investigator appropriately trained and well 
suited to carry out this work? Is the work proposed appropriate to the 
experience level of the principal investigator and other researchers 
(if any)?
    Environment: Does the scientific environment in which the work will 
be done contribute to the probability of success? Does the proposed 
research take advantage of unique features of the scientific 
environment or employ useful collaborative arrangements? Is there 
evidence of institutional support?
    Additional Review Criteria:
    Protection of Human Subjects from Research Risks: Does the 
application adequately address the requirements of Title 45 CFR Part 46 
for the protection of human subjects? This will not be 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.
    Inclusion of Women and Minorities in Research: 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; 
(2) The proposed justification when representation is limited or 
absent; (3) A statement as to whether the design of the study is 
adequate to measure differences when warranted; and (4) A statement as 
to whether the plans for recruitment and outreach for study 
participants include the process of establishing partnerships with 
community(ies) and recognition of mutual benefits.
    Inclusion of Children as Participants in Research Involving Human 
Subjects:
     The NIH maintains a policy that children (i.e., individuals under 
the age of 21) must be included in all human subjects research, 
conducted or supported by the NIH, unless there are scientific and 
ethical reasons not to include them. This policy applies to all initial 
(Type 1) applications submitted for receipt dates after October 1, 
1998.
    All investigators proposing research involving human subjects 
should read the ``NIH Policy and Guidelines'' on the inclusion of 
children as participants in research involving human subjects that is 
available at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/children/children.htm.

[[Page 66833]]

    Budget: The reasonableness of the proposed budget and the requested 
period of support in relation to the proposed research.
    2. Review and Selection Process: Applications will be reviewed for 
completeness by the Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) and for 
responsiveness by the NCIPC. Incomplete applications and applications 
that are non-responsive will not advance through the review process. 
Applicants will be notified that their application did not meet 
submission requirements.
    Applications that are complete and responsive to the PA will be 
subjected to a preliminary evaluation (streamline review) by a peer 
review committee, the Initial Review Group (IRG) convened by NCIPC, to 
determine if the application is of sufficient technical and scientific 
merit to warrant further review by the IRG. CDC will withdraw from 
further consideration applications judged to be noncompetitive and 
promptly notify the principal investigator or program director and the 
official signing for the applicant organization. Those applications 
judged to be competitive will be further evaluated by a dual review 
process.
    1. The primary review will be a peer review conducted by the IRG. 
All applications will be reviewed for scientific merit in accordance 
with the review criteria listed above. Applications will be assigned a 
priority score based on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) scoring 
system of 100-500 points.
    2. The secondary review will be conducted by the Science and 
Program Review Subcommittee (SPRS) of NCIPC's Advisory Committee for 
Injury Prevention and Control (ACIPC). The 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 will be the same as those considered 
by the SPRS.
    The committee'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 committee 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 ``CDC Injury Research Agenda.''
    All awards will be determined by the Director of the NCIPC based on 
priority scores assigned to applications by the IRG, recommendations by 
the secondary review committee, e.g., NCIPC's Advisory Committee for 
Injury Prevention and Control (ACIPC), consultation with NCIPC senior 
staff, and the availability of funds.

VI. Award Administration Information

    1. Award Notices: Successful applicants will receive a Notice of 
Grant Award (NGA) from the CDC Procurement and Grants Office. The NGA

name of the project data steward, should be included in a brief 
paragraph immediately following the Research Plan Section of the PHS 
398 form. References to data sharing/release may also be appropriate in 
other sections of the application (e.g. background and significance, 
human subjects requirements, etc.) The content of the data sharing/
release plan will vary, depending on the data being collected and how 
the investigator is planning to share the data. The data sharing/
release plan will not count towards the application page limit and will 
not factor into the determination scientific merit or priority scores. 
Investigators should seek guidance from their institutions, on issues 
related to institutional policies, local IRB rules, as well as local, 
state and Federal laws and regulations, including the Privacy Rule.
