This funding opportunity from the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, provides support for replicating effective teen pregnancy prevention (TPP) programs. The goal is to advance adolescent health by strengthening body literacy, informed consent, and optimal health through medically accurate and age-appropriate education and counseling. Only programs with proven effectiveness—demonstrated through rigorous evaluation in reducing teen pregnancy or associated behavioral risk factors—are eligible for replication.
Funded projects must integrate body literacy and reproductive life goals counseling, ensure transparency and parental rights (including opt-out provisions), and promote a preventive, upstream approach to adolescent health. Recipients are expected to build local capacity for high-fidelity implementation and engage in continuous monitoring and evaluation.
