Targeting Prioirty Populations and Areas with Replication of Effective Programs for Teen Pregnancy Prevention

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates the availability of FY2022 funds to support cooperative agreements for eligible entities to replicate programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation to reduce teenage pregnancy, behavioral risk factors underlying teenage pregnancy, or other associated risk factors. The goal of this program is to target specific populations and/or priority areas with effective programs and supports to complement and enhance replication of effective programs in order to have the greatest impact on reducing teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some key points to consider include: • The program is open to any public or private entity, including faith-based, community-based, and Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations. • The estimated funding for this program is $20,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $1,000,000. • The program aims to support cooperative agreements for a period of time, although the exact duration is not specified. • The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health is the agency responsible for this program, and Jaclyn Ruiz is the primary contact for any questions or inquiries.
