GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview
HHS/OPA is funding 52 grants ($900K-$2M each, $63.4M total) to replicate evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs. This is one of the largest public health grant programs — if you want to implement an already-proven TPP program in your community (like Reducing the Risk, Making Proud Choices, or Teen Outreach Program), this pays for it. You're replicating what works, not inventing something new. Must serve youth populations at highest risk for teen pregnancy.
Who Should Apply
School districts, health departments, community health centers, nonprofits, universities, tribal organizations, or any entity currently serving adolescents who wants to implement an evidence-based TPP program. Broad eligibility — almost anyone can apply.
Who Should NOT Apply
Organizations wanting to create NEW, unproven programs (use the evaluation grant instead), abstinence-only programs not on the evidence-based list, organizations without access to teen populations, or anyone who can't commit to fidelity to an existing program model.
Key Requirements (Plain English)
- •Must replicate a program from the approved evidence-based program list
- •Must serve populations at highest risk for teen pregnancy
- •Must implement with fidelity to the proven model
- •Must be medically accurate and age-appropriate
- •Must collect and report performance data
- •No cost-sharing required
💡 GrantQuick Tip
52 awards makes this one of the most accessible HHS grants. The key to winning: (1) pick a program from the evidence-based list that matches your target population, (2) show teen pregnancy data proving your community needs it, and (3) demonstrate you have access to the youth (school partnerships, clinic populations, community center enrollees). Don't try to modify the proven program — OPA wants fidelity. Organizations with existing youth-serving infrastructure (Boys & Girls Clubs, Planned Parenthood affiliates, school-based health centers) are ideal.
Competitiveness: Low-moderate — 52 awards with broad eligibility. Strong community need data + existing youth access = likely funded.
