Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real-Time (AVERT): This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) integrates work funded through the previous CDC funding opportunity: Firearm Injury Surveillance Through Emergency Rooms (FASTER) (CDC-RFA-CE20-2005). This funding opportunity, Advancing Violence Epidemiology in Real-Time (AVERT) (CDC-RFA-CE23-0007), will continue work focused on increasing the comprehensiveness and timeliness of surveillance data on emergency department (ED) visits for all firearm injuries (regardless of intent), while adding new work focused on the near real-time surveillance of other violence-related injuries and mental health conditions. Applicants can apply for additional funds to implement one or both optional activities: implementation of at least one data linkage project and development of a local, multisectoral partnership for Real-Time Data to Inform Response, Engagement, Collaboration, and Tailored (REDIRECT) prevention activities. The AVERT NOFO also aims to ensure data are used to facilitate prevention and response strategies in areas and populations of greatest need. Recipients must implement two strategies: Increase the timeliness of aggregate reporting of ED visits for firearm injuries (regardless of intent), other violence-related injuries, and mental health conditions. Disseminate surveillance findings in a timely way to the public and key partners working to prevent or respond to violence. The continued support of this NOFO beyond year one is subject to the availability of funds.
