Opportunity Summary:

The Adolescent and Young Adult Health National Resource Center (AYAH) Program was a fiscal year 2014 funding opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), specifically within the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), Division of Child, Adolescent and Family Health, Adolescent Health Branch. It was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under HRSA Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-050 (CFDA 93.110). The program was designed to operate as a national resource center, using federal support to help strengthen how states and health professionals promote and protect the health of adolescents and young adults.

At its core, the purpose of the AYAH Program was to promote comprehensive healthy development, health, safety, and overall well-being for adolescents and young adults, defined here as ages 10 through 25. Rather than primarily funding direct services, the opportunity emphasized capacity-building: improving the ability of State Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Programs, along with public health and clinical health professionals, to respond effectively to the major health issues affecting these age groups. In practice, this kind of national resource center role typically means providing training and technical assistance, developing and sharing evidence-informed tools and guidance, supporting workforce development, helping states interpret and apply performance expectations, and spreading promising practices that can be implemented across different settings and populations.

A major theme of the announcement was alignment with the broader transformation of the Title V MCH Block Grant. MCHB described an ongoing effort to refine a vision for modernizing Title V so it could better address current and emerging challenges facing mothers, children, and youth, including children and youth with special health care needs. This transformation included a stronger push for accountability through updated performance measures and structural/process measures that span the maternal and child health life course, explicitly including adolescence and young adulthood. The AYAH Program was positioned as a Special Projects of Regional or National Significance (SPRANS) activity functioning within that transformed Title V environment, meaning it was intended to help states and partners meet new expectations and improve measurable outcomes by providing centralized expertise and support at a national scale.

Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $1,350,000 in total, with an expectation of one award. The published award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which often indicates that applicants needed to refer to the full announcement for budget parameters or that HRSA did not set a fixed per-award cap in the summary fields, even though total program funding was stated. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for applicants that might not have had access to non-federal matching funds.

Eligibility was broad. HRSA indicated that public or private entities could apply, including Indian tribes and tribal organizations as defined in 25 U.S.C. 450(b). Faith-based and community-based organizations were also eligible. A key condition was that the applicant organization had to have direct fiduciary and administrative responsibility for the project, meaning the lead applicant needed to be the entity actually managing the award, finances, compliance, reporting, and day-to-day administration rather than serving only as a pass-through.

Important dates reflected a typical federal grant cycle for that year: the opportunity was posted on May 29, 2014, and applications were due by June 30, 2014. The listing was archived on August 29, 2014. HRSA provided support through its Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center for applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement or needed technical assistance with the application process.

Overall, the AYAH National Resource Center opportunity was essentially a federally supported, national-level capacity-building effort aimed at helping state Title V programs and the broader health workforce improve systems, practices, and accountability related to adolescent and young adult health. Its focus on the 10 to 25 age range and its explicit connection to Title V transformation signaled a strong emphasis on life-course approaches, measurable performance improvement, and practical support that states could use to better address adolescent and young adult health issues in both public health and clinical contexts.
