INJURY PREVENTION REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Whether injury is unintentional (e.g., as a result of motor vehicle crashes) or intentional (e.g., as a result of child abuse or neglect), the impact on children is significant. Injury is the #1 killer of children despite the fact that it is preventable (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: April 2012 Press Release).

Therefore, the John Rex Endowment is pleased to announce an Injury Prevention Request for Proposals (RFP) to prevent and reduce the impact of injury on Wake County children and youth.

Funding is available towards:

• Improving policies and the environment to prevent childhood injuries and reduce their consequences.
• Improving system or organizational effectiveness and efficiency in conducting childhood injury prevention work.

Letters of intent must be e-mailed by noon on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 to: Kate@rexendowment.org

• Capacity Building grants provide funding for organizations to plan for or implement strategies identified through a completed organizational assessment process for the purpose of increasing their effectiveness and sustainability.
• Strategic Restructuring assessment/planning grants support two or more organizations assessing the feasibility of and implementation needs for alliances or integrations, such as consolidated administrative functions, shared staff positions, or mergers.
