Virginia’s work will focus on all Virginians at risk of SV, those working in the service industry, LGBTQ youth, incarcerated individuals, perpetrators, and people with all disabilities. Through the Rape Prevention and Education CDC-RFA-CE-24-0027 funding, Virginia will build upon the previous RPE Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) CE-23-006 by: 1) building and maintaining program capacity at the state-level and with key partners to facilitate prevention strategy implementation through a health opportunity lens (Strategy 1); 2) develop, enhance, expand, and implement a SV State Action Plan (SAP) through collaboration with state SV coalitions and key partners; 3) implement innovative SV prevention strategies through three focus areas: Focus Area 1- Strengthening Economic Supports, Focus Area 2 - Creating Protective Environments; and Focus Area 3-Promoting social norms that protect against violence; and 4) conduct data-to-action activities on an ongoing basis to inform changes or adaptations to proposed prevention strategies or selection and implementation of additional prevention strategies through rigorous and robust evaluation and comprehensive data dissemination (Strategy 4). Virginia’s approach will be executed by leveraging multi-sector partnerships and resources to coordinate and implement SV prevention strategies across the state through a health opportunity lens and allow Virginia to prevent SV. Years 2-5 will focus on expanding and advancing programs, practices, and policy efforts. Virginia’s RPE team will achieve short-term Strategy 1-4 outcomes outlined in the NOFO logic model (pages 5-8) within the first two years of the project and intermediate Strategies 1, 3, and 4 outcomes outlined in the NOFO logic model (pages 8-9) within years 3-5 of the project.
