The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is offering the Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant. This grant is for programs that implement sexual risk avoidance education (SRAE) specifically teaching participants, primarily youth, to voluntarily abstain from non-marital sexual activity. The goal is to promote optimal health behaviors, focusing on the future health, psychological well-being, and economic success of young people. Successful projects must use medically accurate, evidence-based approaches, integrating research with practical implementation. Programs should emphasize benefits like self-regulation, healthy relationships, goal setting, and resisting coercion and other risky behaviors, without normalizing teen sexual activity. A core requirement is an unambiguous focus on avoiding non-marital sexual activity as the optimal health behavior.

| Description: | The purpose of the Title V Competitive SRAE Program is to fund projects to implement sexual risk avoidance education that teaches participants how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. Successful applicants are expected to submit plans for the implementation of sexual risk avoidance education that normalizes the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity, with a focus on the future health, psychological well-being, and economic success of youth. Applicants must agree to: 1) use medically accurate information referenced to peer-reviewed publications by educational, scientific, governmental, or health organizations; implement an evidence-based approach integrating research findings with practical implementation that aligns with the needs and desired outcomes for the intended audience; and 2) teach the benefits associated with self-regulation, success sequencing for poverty prevention, healthy relationships, goal setting, and resisting sexual coercion, dating violence, and other youth risk behaviors such as underage drinking or illicit drug use without normalizing teen sexual activity. The Title V SRAE legislation requires unambiguous and primary emphasis and context for each of the A-F topics to be addressed in program implementation. Additionally, there is a requirement that messages to youth normalize the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity. |
