Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ACYF TS 1384
The Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF), administered by the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). Its core purpose is to support organizations that will deliver sexual risk avoidance education to youth. In this program model, sexual risk avoidance education is defined as teaching young people how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity, with the broader intent of helping them make healthier decisions and reduce negative outcomes linked to early or risky sexual behavior.
The opportunity emphasizes that funded projects must place clear, primary, and unambiguous focus on sexual risk avoidance as the central prevention message. Applicants are expected to propose programs that actively normalize the behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity as an optimal health choice, rather than treating it as one option among many. Grant-funded programming must also explain and reinforce the social, psychological, and health benefits associated with refraining from non-marital sexual activity, and it should connect that message to the development of healthy relationships and decision-making skills. In addition to pregnancy prevention, the program’s stated goals include helping prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and reducing participation in other risky behaviors, positioning sexual risk avoidance as part of a wider youth well-being and risk prevention framework.
Funding under this FY 2018 competition is structured as annual awards across a two-year project period, contingent on the availability of funds. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $450,000, and the agency anticipated making about 30 awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program falls under the federal activity area of Income Security and Social Services, with CFDA number 93.787.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants listed include county and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other applicants as clarified in the opportunity’s additional eligibility guidance. This wide eligibility suggests the program is designed to reach youth through multiple community channels, including schools, higher education settings, youth-serving nonprofits, tribal organizations, and local government initiatives.
Key administrative details for the FY 2018 posting include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACF-ACYF-TS-1384 and a creation date of July 27, 2018. The original application closing date was August 26, 2018, with electronically submitted applications required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, this competition is aimed at scaling or strengthening structured youth education initiatives that keep sexual risk avoidance as the primary prevention strategy while equipping participants with resources and guidance intended to reduce pregnancy, STIs, and related risk-taking behaviors.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ACYF TS 1384
