The Administration for Children and Families, through its Family and Youth Services Bureau, is offering the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program grant. This grant is for the purpose of funding projects that implement sexual risk avoidance education, teaching participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. Services are targeted at individuals in areas with high teen birth rates or those at high risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The program aims to empower participants to make healthy decisions, preventing pregnancy, STIs, and other risky behaviors. Successful applicants must use medically accurate, evidence-based information, and integrate research findings. Curricula should emphasize self-regulation, healthy relationships, goal setting, and resisting sexual coercion, dating violence, and substance use, without normalizing teen sexual activity.
