Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF ACYF TS 0040
The Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grant is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), within ACYF/FYSB, intended to support projects that deliver sexual risk avoidance education to youth. The central purpose is to fund programs that teach participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity and to frame that choice as the optimal health behavior. Funded projects are expected to present this approach as a positive norm, emphasizing how avoiding non-marital sexual activity can support youths future health outcomes, psychological well-being, and long-term economic stability.
Applicants are expected to propose a clear implementation plan for an SRAE program that is both medically accurate and evidence-based. Medical accuracy must be grounded in peer-reviewed publications and reputable educational, scientific, governmental, or health organizations. Beyond citing accurate information, programs must integrate research findings into practical delivery methods that fit the needs and intended outcomes of the specific population being served. The program design also must cover a required set of legislatively defined content areas (often referred to as the A-F topics) with unambiguous and primary emphasis, meaning these topics cannot be treated as minor or optional components. In addition, the overall messaging must avoid normalizing teen sexual activity and must consistently reinforce the program goal of normalizing avoidance of non-marital sexual activity.
In terms of curriculum content, funded projects must teach more than just abstaining from sex. They are required to address benefits and skills tied to self-regulation and future planning, including goal setting and what the opportunity describes as success sequencing for poverty prevention. Programs must also cover healthy relationship skills and equip youth to resist sexual coercion and dating violence. They are also expected to address related youth risk behaviors, such as underage drinking and illicit drug use, but in a way that still aligns with the program model and does not shift the message toward presenting teen sexual activity as typical or expected.
Eligibility is limited in two important ways. First, projects must be run by local organizations or entities (or consortia) that have the capacity to develop and implement SRAE programming. Second, applicants must propose to operate in states and territories that are not accepting Fiscal Year 2024 allocations for the Title V State SRAE program, since this competitive program is designed to fill gaps where state-level participation is not occurring. Individuals, including sole proprietorships, are not eligible, and foreign entities are also ineligible and will be disqualified from review. Faith-based and community organizations may apply as long as they meet eligibility requirements, and the opportunity states that ACF will not discriminate based on an organizations religious character or affiliation, consistent with applicable federal protections and regulations.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2024-ACF-ACYF-TS-0040; CFDA 93.787) anticipates making around 20 awards, with an award ceiling of $450,000. The estimated award amounts are tied to FY2024 appropriations and may change depending on available funds. The original application closing date listed is July 8, 2024. Eligible applicant types include a broad range of domestic entities such as county and city governments, school districts, special districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribes and certain tribal organizations, public housing authorities, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses), provided they meet the program and geographic eligibility conditions described in the announcement.Apply for HHS 2024 ACF ACYF TS 0040
