Description

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to build and enhance the primary prevention capacity of State, Territorial, and Tribal Sexual Assault Coalitions (“Coalition(s)”) in preparation for sexual violence prevention strategy implementation focused on advancing health equity. This NOFO builds upon and complements work funded though the Rape Prevention and Education: Using the Best Available Evidence for Sexual Violence Prevention (CE19-1902). This one-year funding opportunity requires recipients to conduct a Primary Prevention Capacity Assessment of Coalition’s readiness to plan and implement equity-focused strategies and develop recommendations based on assessment findings to advance primary prevention and promote health equity. Recipients of this NOFO should use a data- driven approach to assess Coalition primary prevention capacity, to identify population(s) and communities of focus with a high burden of SV, assess existing partnerships to determine gaps, identify additional partnership to advance health equity efforts, needs, and align Coalition and State RPE program primary prevention efforts. Completion of the activities should lead to recipients’ increased ability to understand and address the inequities that create a disproportionate burden of sexual violence (SV). Further, this work will help build the foundation for Coalitions to enhance, expand, and strengthen primary sexual violence prevention efforts, and address health inequities and will create meaningful involvement engagement of with state health departments, state sexual assault coalitions, culturally specific organizations, and underserved communities in the Rape Prevention and Education program.
