Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE18 1801
DELTA (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances) Impact is a CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA CE18-1801) designed to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV) by supporting statewide leadership and community-level implementation of primary prevention strategies. It is grounded in the public health reality that IPV is widespread and often begins early in life, with national survey data showing that many people who experience IPV report first exposure before age 18. The overall framing of the opportunity is that violence is preventable, and that the biggest population-level gains come from approaches that work upstream, at the community and societal levels, rather than relying only on services after harm has occurred.
The program is authorized under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) and continues CDC's long-running DELTA investment, which has funded State Domestic Violence Coalitions (SDVCs) since 2002. In this iteration, the emphasis is on helping SDVCs move beyond short-term or purely programmatic work and instead build durable, data-driven prevention infrastructure. The goal is to reduce IPV risk factors and strengthen protective factors by scaling sustainable primary prevention activities that address social determinants of health (SDOH), such as the broader conditions in which people live, learn, work, and socialize. In practical terms, the opportunity expects applicants to choose prevention strategies that are evidence-informed, are suitable for implementation at scale, and can be maintained over time through partnerships, policy, systems change, and diversified funding.
A central expectation of DELTA Impact is that each funded SDVC will prioritize and implement three to four evidence-informed programs and policy efforts across three specified focus areas (the solicitation identifies these focus areas, and awardees are expected to align their selected strategies accordingly). Rather than funding a large number of disconnected activities, the structure pushes coalitions to concentrate on a manageable set of interventions with strong rationale, clear implementation plans, and measurable outcomes. This reflects the program's intention to strengthen effectiveness and accountability while also producing lessons that can translate across communities and states.
Planning and use of data are treated as core deliverables, not side tasks. SDVCs are required to develop or strengthen an existing State Action Plan (SAP) that guides IPV primary prevention in a strategic way. The SAP is meant to be explicitly data-driven, using available surveillance and other data sources to identify needs, select interventions, and set priorities, including a clear focus on health inequities within the jurisdiction. In other words, the program is not only trying to reduce IPV overall; it is also pushing states to pay attention to how risk and protection are distributed across populations and places, and to plan in ways that address unequal conditions that contribute to violence.
DELTA Impact also aims to expand and strengthen the evidence base for community and societal-level IPV prevention. To do that, the NOFO places significant weight on evaluation and on the practical use of existing surveillance systems and state and local data. Funded coalitions are expected to participate in a national evaluation run in partnership with CDC, contributing information that helps determine what works, under what conditions, and with what level of investment. This requirement signals that the program is intended to generate generalizable learning, not just local success stories, and that implementation will need to be documented carefully enough to support interpretation of outcomes.
Another major theme is integration of primary prevention into broader state and local IPV planning and capacity-building work. DELTA Impact expects SDVCs to weave prevention goals and action steps into routine coalition functions and statewide domestic violence efforts, rather than treating prevention as an add-on. The logic is that when prevention is embedded in standard planning processes, states are better positioned to build lasting cross-sector partnerships and to leverage additional resources beyond the DELTA award. This includes engaging partners outside the traditional domestic violence field, since changing community and societal conditions often requires collaboration with sectors like education, public health, housing, workplaces, justice, and local government.
At the community level, SDVCs are not expected to implement everything directly. Instead, they are required to fund and provide technical assistance to selected Coordinated Community Response teams (CCRs). These CCRs are the on-the-ground community groups that will implement and evaluate the chosen programs and policy efforts locally. The SDVC role is therefore both strategic and supportive: setting statewide direction, ensuring alignment with the SAP and focus areas, building capacity, coordinating learning across communities, and helping CCRs implement interventions with quality and evaluate them consistently.
Administratively, DELTA Impact is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC). The CFDA number is 93.136. The award ceiling listed is $410,000, with approximately 10 expected awards. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details provided in the full announcement, but the narrative makes clear that State Domestic Violence Coalitions are the intended applicants and lead implementers. The original posting shows a creation date of September 22, 2017 and an original closing date of January 15, 2018, with applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Taken together, DELTA Impact is best understood as a statewide prevention leadership and implementation grant that funds SDVCs to (1) choose and support a focused set of evidence-informed programs and policy strategies, (2) build a strong, data-driven State Action Plan that prioritizes prevention and addresses inequities, (3) support local CCRs with funding and technical assistance to implement and evaluate interventions, and (4) contribute to a national evaluation so the field gains clearer, practice-relevant evidence about preventing IPV at the community and societal levels.Apply for CDC RFA CE18 1801
