Description
This opportunity, offered by the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, funds rigorous impact evaluations of interventions aimed at preventing teen pregnancy and advancing adolescent optimal health. Projects must focus on body literacy education, transparency, and protection of parental rights, and use robust evaluation designs such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental designs (QEDs). The program aims to expand the evidence base for effective strategies, especially those not previously rigorously evaluated under federal funding, and to disseminate findings for broader adoption.
