Opportunity Information: Apply for AH TP1 19 001
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), makes funds available to replicate teen pregnancy prevention programs that already have strong evidence of effectiveness. The announcement is specifically aimed at supporting the replication of programs that have been proven effective through rigorous evaluation, with the goal of reducing teenage pregnancy itself and/or the behavioral risk factors that contribute to teen pregnancy and related outcomes. It also recognizes that teen pregnancy risk often overlaps with other sexual health risks, so the scope includes reducing associated risk factors such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and behaviors like having multiple sexual partners.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect an active partnership with the federal project team rather than a hands-off grant. This is a discretionary funding opportunity (not a formula entitlement), and it is listed under CFDA 93.297. The opportunity number is AH TP1 19 001, with a creation date of February 13, 2019, and an original application closing date of April 15, 2019. The maximum award amount is $500,000 per award, and the agency anticipated making about 30 awards, signaling an intent to fund multiple replication efforts across different settings rather than concentrating funding in only a few places.
The core purpose of the Tier 1 Phase I projects is twofold. First, recipients are expected to bring one or more evidence-based programs into real-world communities and implement them at a broader scale than a small pilot, while maintaining the essential features that made those programs effective in prior evaluations. Second, Phase I is framed as a learning phase: projects should help build the broader knowledge base about what makes replication successful. In practical terms, this means documenting and examining which elements or components of the original program are truly critical, which implementation factors drive results across different contexts, and what conditions support effectiveness when a model is expanded beyond its initial test sites.
Applicants are expected to choose communities and/or populations where the need is clear and where teen pregnancy or related risk factors remain elevated. The FOA explicitly encourages applicants to focus on populations identified in current federal statistical reports as being most vulnerable to teen pregnancy, STDs, multiple partners, and other risks associated with sexual activity. In addition, the FOA allows applicants to target communities or subpopulations that have not experienced declines in teen pregnancy or related risk factors at the same pace as the national downward trend. This emphasis reflects an equity and impact orientation: the funding is intended to reach groups and places where improvements have lagged and where evidence-based programming may help close persistent gaps.
The target audience for services is adolescents most likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors. While younger adolescents can be included, the federal expectation is that funded services will also meaningfully focus on youth ages 15 to 19. The logic is that older teens are generally at higher immediate risk for sexual activity and its consequences, but prevention and healthy decision-making should be reinforced across adolescence, not treated as a one-time message delivered at a single age. Programs funded under this announcement should therefore be planned with developmental appropriateness in mind while still prioritizing the age band where risk and potential near-term impact are highest.
A notable operational requirement is how communities must be defined. Each selected community needs clear geographic boundaries. This is not just a planning preference; it is tied to accountability and measurement. Clear boundaries make it feasible to count and describe the youth served, align implementation sites to a specific service area, and monitor local rates of teen pregnancy and other associated risk factors over time. In other words, the FOA is looking for replication efforts that are organized enough to track reach and outcomes in a defined place, rather than loosely defined initiatives that cannot reliably measure whether population-level indicators are changing.
Eligibility is listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, which suggests the program may be open to a range of entity types depending on the detailed eligibility language (often including nonprofits, local agencies, education-related entities, clinics, and similar organizations). Regardless of entity type, the fundamental expectation is that applicants can responsibly replicate an evidence-based model, operate within a specific community footprint, and contribute to broader learning about how proven programs can be expanded successfully while maintaining effectiveness.
In summary, this FOA funds the real-world replication and scaling of rigorously proven teen pregnancy prevention programs through cooperative agreements. It prioritizes communities and populations with elevated or persistent risk, expects a substantial focus on teens ages 15-19, requires clearly bounded communities for monitoring and accountability, and treats Phase I as both an implementation and a learning effort designed to clarify what drives success when proven programs are taken to scale.Apply for AH TP1 19 001
