Collaborative Efforts To Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

    Announcement Type: New.
    Funding Opportunity Number: RFA 05038.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.136.
    Dates: Application Deadline: April 4, 2005.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

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

    Background: Approximately 900,000 minor children in the United 
States are identified by child protective services as

[[Page 5680]]

victims of maltreatment on an annual basis. Additionally, in 2002, over 
88,000 substantiated or indicated cases of child sexual abuse (CSA) 
were identified by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. 
(National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect, 2004). Child sexual 
abuse is associated with negative outcomes in both childhood and 
adulthood (e.g., anxiety, depression, self-harming behavior, substance 
abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, verbal and physical aggression, 
poor academic achievement, and low self-esteem and high risk sexual 
behavior). (Oddone Paolucci, Genuis, Violato, 2001; Putnam and 
Trickett, 1993; Browne and Finkelhor, 1987).
    Due to the serious short and long term consequences of CSA, the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC's) focus for this 
effort is on primary prevention (i.e. preventing CSA from initially 
occurring). The specific focus of the prevention efforts should be on 
adult and community responsibility in the prevention of perpetration of 
child sexual abuse. No single factor explains the perpetration of child 
sexual abuse; rather it is a complex interplay of individual and 
contextual factors and influence (i.e. individual, relationship, 
community, and societal) (Krug, et al). Thus, prevention programs 
should address multiple levels of influence including individual, 
relationship, community, and societal levels as represented by the 
World Report on Violence and Health (Krug, et al. 2002).
    For the purposes of this announcement, the following definitions 
apply:
    Child: A person under eighteen years of age. Also referred to as 
``minor child'' in this announcement.
    Child sexual abuse: ``Child sexual abuse involves any sexual 
activity with a child where consent is not or cannot be given. This 
includes sexual contact that is accomplished by force or threat of 
force, regardless of the age of the participants, and all sexual 
contact between an adult and a child, regardless of whether there is 
deception or the child understands the sexual nature of the activity. 
Sexual contact between an older and a younger child also can be abusive 
if there is a significant disparity in age, development, or size, 
rendering the younger child incapable of giving informed consent. The 
sexually abusive acts may include sexual penetration, sexual touching, 
or non-contact sexual acts such as exposure or voyeurism.'' (From the 
APSAC Handbook on Child Maltreatment, 2nd edition, 2002).
    Prevention of CSA: Prevention approaches are on a continuum from 
those that take place before CSA has occurred to prevent initial 
perpetration or victimization (i.e., PRIMARY prevention) to those that 
take place after CSA has occurred to address the consequences of CSA 
and to prevent it from re-occurring. Although all of these approaches 
are important, the main emphasis of this project is on the primary 
prevention of perpetration. The next level of emphasis of this project 
is on the early identification of perpetration with the hope of 
preventing re-occurrence.
    Prevention collaborative: A partnership that combines the expertise 
of child abuse prevention, sexual abuse prevention, public health, and 
other stakeholder agencies/organizations for the purpose of preventing 
child sexual abuse.
    Focus on Adult and Community responsibility: Prevention programs 
with this focus ensure that adults, both individually and collectively 
(e.g., as part of organizations and communities): (a) Understand the 
nature and scope of child sexual abuse, (b) recognize their role in the 
prevention of child sexual abuse, and (c) possess the knowledge and 
skills necessary to be actively engaged in child sexual abuse 
prevention efforts. For the purposes of this definition, adults include 
those with an interest in the safety and well-being of minor children 
(e.g. parents, spouses or other family members, teachers, friends, 
clergy, bystanders, etc.).
    Focus on the prevention of Perpetration: Prevention programs/
strategies with this focus attempt to prevent either: (a) The act of 
perpetration, or (b) the development of offending behavior in an 
individual.
    Social ecological framework: A framework for understanding the 
complex interplay of individual, relationship, social, political, 
cultural, and environmental factors that influence CSA (Krug et al., 
2002), and also provides potential key points for prevention and 
intervention (Powell, Mercy, Crosby, Dahlberg, and Simon, 1999). For 
this project, we use the four-level ecological model presented in the 
World Report on Violence and Health (Krug et al., 2002).
    Provider behavior: Providers can be broadly defined to include 
clinical service providers, as well as providers of prevention 
programs.
    Purpose: To support existing state and local collaboratives in the 
prevention of child sexual abuse. More specifically, the purpose of 
this program is to integrate strategies that address (1) adult and 
community responsibility (2) the prevention of perpetration and (3) all 
levels of the social ecology (i.e. individual, relationship, community, 
and societal) into existing state and local level collaboratives that 
address CSA prevention.
    This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area(s) 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): Goal 1--Increase the capacity of injury 
prevention and control programs to address prevention of injuries and 
violence.
    This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by 
CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be 
reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site 
at the following Internet address: https://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/
opspoll1.htm.
    Activities: Awardee activities for this program are as follows:
    1. Activities to increase capacity to have wide programmatic reach 
around prevention of child sexual abuse:
     Assess the makeup of the statewide collaborative for 
appropriate representation from traditional and non-traditional 
partners (e.g. faith leaders, health care provider organizations, 
etc.). Recruit missing partners in order to expand the reach of the 
collaborative.
    2. Activities to increase capacity to integrate prevention 
strategies that address (1) adult and community responsibility (2) the 
prevention of perpetration and (3) the social ecological model into 
existing programming.
     Develop a five year prevention plan integrating previously 
conducted adult and community responsibility and perpetration 
prevention programming, using logic modeling, and informed by existing 
data (e.g. statewide survey of existing child sexual abuse programming, 
surveys, etc.) to identify prevention strategies that addresses adult 
and community responsibility, perpetration prevention, and multiple 
levels of the social ecological model to be implemented in one or more 
local settings. Planning should be in partnership with local level 
partners. Since the prevention plan extends beyond the 2-year program 
period, the plan should address strategies for garnering support for 
the implementation of the plan. Priority activities should be those 
that address a level of the social ecology not previously addressed by 
the applicant.
     Implement at least one priority activity from the 
prevention plan in the two-year program period.

[[Page 5681]]

     Attend and participate in technical assistance and 
planning meetings coordinated by the CDC for all cooperative agreement 
recipients (two staff members; two meetings per year; two days per 
meeting. One meeting will be held in Atlanta; one meeting will be held 
in the same city as one of the funded sites.).
    3. Activities to increase evaluation capacity:
     Create an evaluation subcommittee within the prevention 
collaborative to develop state and/or local evaluation plans. These 
evaluation plans should include, but are not limited to, the assessment 
of changes in capacity, provider behavior, and community norms.
     Implement evaluation plan(s).
     Conduct at least one community (or state level) survey 
addressing community norms and provider behavior around prevention of 
CSA, particularly on adult and community responsibility in the 
prevention of perpetration.
     Develop and implement measures of increased prevention 
capacity at state and local levels.
     Collaborate with other cooperative agreement recipients 
and CDC in the development of core components for the community survey 
and cross-site evaluation.
     Submit required reports on time.
    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:
     Provide updated information related to the purposes and 
activities of this program announcement.
     Provide technical assistance and consultation, if 
requested, on all aspects of recipient activities, including:
    [ctrcir] Assessment of the makeup of the state and local 
collaboratives.
    [ctrcir] Development of a 5-year prevention plan.
    [ctrcir] The development of the state and local evaluation plan, 
including but not limited to the community survey.
     Facilitate any cross-site evaluation in collaboration with 
cooperative agreement recipients.
     Facilitate the technical assistance and planning meetings 
that will provide opportunities for awardees to increase knowledge and 
skills, learn from each other, share resources, and work 
collaboratively to address issues related to child sexual abuse 
prevention (two meetings per year, two days per meeting).
     Review evaluation information for presentation and 
publication.

III. Eligibility Information

III.1. Eligible Applicants

    Applications may be submitted by an organization with state-wide 
reach and expertise in the primary and/or secondary prevention of child 
sexual abuse who are current recipients of funds for the Collaborative 
Efforts to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse program, Program number 02124.
    The previous funding cycle was intended to allow for planning of 
child sexual abuse prevention efforts that focused on adult and 
community responsibility and the prevention of perpetration. This 
proposed funding cycle focuses on implementation, sustainability, and 
continued evaluation of these efforts.
    The competition for this cooperative agreement is being limited to 
current Collaborative Efforts to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse 
(Collaborative CSA), Program Number 02124 Program recipients for the 
following reasons:
    1. The three-year program period was a planning period for CDC, 
funded grantees and their partners to begin to understand and build the 
framework for child sexual abuse prevention that focused on adult and 
community responsibility and perpetrator prevention.
    2. The two year program period for this proposed cooperative 
agreement will be an implementation and evaluation period where 
grantees and their state and local partners apply the lessons learned 
from the previous cycle to integrate the concepts of: (1) Adult and 
community responsibility; (2) perpetration prevention; and (3) 
addressing multiple levels of the social ecology to build and implement 
a comprehensive prevention framework and evaluation plan.
    3. An additional two years will allow for the previously funded 
grantees to more strategically integrate the concepts of adult and 
community responsibility, perpetration prevention, and programming at 
all levels of the social ecology into their current state and local 
efforts to build long term sustainability of these efforts.
    4. Because of the necessary planning period in the Collaborative 
CSA program, an additional two years is needed to build the evaluation 
capacity of the funded applicants in order for the state and local 
level evaluation to produce reliable, valid and useful results that can 
inform the field.
