The Administration for Children and Families, Administration on Children, Youth and Families’ Family and Youth Services Bureau is offering this grant to fund projects implementing sexual risk avoidance education. This grant is for the purpose of teaching participants, especially those in high teen birth rate areas or at high risk of STIs, how to voluntarily abstain from non-marital sexual activity. Successful programs will empower healthy decision-making and provide tools to prevent pregnancy, STIs, and other risky behaviors. Applicants must propose medically accurate, evidence-based curricula integrating research findings. Education will cover self-regulation, healthy relationships, goal setting, resisting sexual coercion and dating violence, and avoiding substance abuse, without normalizing teen sexual activity.
