Description:

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports states# efforts to improve the timeliness and use of surveillance of emergency
department (ED) visits for firearm injuries (overall and by intent type), and intersecting violent injuries, including but not limited to,
intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child abuse and neglect, and youth violence. Data can be used to inform state and local
prevention and response strategies in areas and populations of greatest need. This 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-CE23-2307) is a broader initiative
designed to continue work focused on increasing the comprehensiveness and timeliness of surveillance data on firearm injuries,
while also adding potential new work focused on the real-time surveillance of violence outcomes and the use of data to facilitate
prevention and response efforts.

Goals/Purpose

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports states# efforts to improve the timeliness and use of surveillance of emergency
department (ED) visits for firearm injuries (overall and by intent type), and intersecting violent injuries, including but not limited to,
intimate partner violence, sexual violence, child abuse and neglect, and youth violence. Data can be used to inform state and local
prevention and response strategies in areas and populations of greatest need.

Objective:

This 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-CE23-2307) is a broader initiative designed to continue work focused on increasing the comprehensiveness and
timeliness of surveillance data on firearm injuries, while also adding potential new work focused on the real-time surveillance of
violence outcomes and the use of data to facilitate prevention and response efforts. Recipients must undertake 2 activities: #
Increase the timeliness of aggregate reporting of ED visits for firearm injuries and intersecting violent injuries. Recipients will share
real-time, visit-level syndromic surveillance data with the CDC#s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC/NCIPC).
They will also verify state and county quarterly reports on ED visits for firearm injuries and intersecting violent injuries, stratified by

month, to inform public health prevention and response efforts. # Disseminate surveillance findings to key stakeholders working to
prevent or respond to violence, including the public. Data shared with CDC will be combined into a multi-state database to support
surveillance efforts in other states and provide data to inform prevention and response strategies. The continued support of this
NOFO beyond year one is subject to the availability of funds.
