Opportunity Summary:
The Announcement of Availability of Funds for Support for Expectant and Parenting Teens, Women, Fathers and Their Families is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It is funded for Fiscal Year 2013 under Sections 10211 through 10214 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148). The basic purpose is to help states and federally recognized tribes develop and carry out programs that provide practical supports and services to expectant and parenting teens, women, fathers, and their families, with the broader aim of improving health, educational, and social outcomes for these populations.
Funding is expected to total up to $24,000,000, supporting as many as 32 awards. Individual awards are projected to range from $500,000 to $1,500,000 per year, and the project period is four years, meaning funding is designed to support multi-year planning, implementation, and program improvement rather than a short pilot. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.500 (Pregnancy Assistance Fund Program) and falls under activity areas that include education, health, income security, and social services. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan for a non-federal contribution as part of their overall project budget and sustainability approach.
Eligibility is limited to state-level entities and federally recognized tribal governments. For this announcement, "states" is defined broadly to include the District of Columbia, U.S. commonwealths, possessions, and territories, in addition to the 50 states. The opportunity is structured so that only one application may be submitted per state or tribe, which encourages a coordinated statewide or tribal approach rather than multiple competing proposals from the same jurisdiction. Applications must be submitted by an authorized representative of the state or tribe, and a signed letter must be included that both identifies the authorized representative and documents their authority to apply for and administer the funds on behalf of the jurisdiction. Importantly, prior funding history does not provide an advantage: previous grantees are not given priority, and qualified applications are to receive equal consideration.
Key dates included a posted date of February 15, 2013, with a non-binding Letter of Intent due March 15, 2013 by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The full application closing date was April 10, 2013 (also referenced as the original and current closing date in the listing). The announcement was later archived on May 10, 2013. Applicants were directed to follow the full grant announcement for specific submission instructions, including exact deadlines and timing requirements, and to use Grants.gov for submission-related support. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the Grants.gov Contact Center was provided as the main point of assistance (1-800-518-4726; support@grants.gov), operating 24/7 except federal holidays.
Overall, this opportunity provided substantial, multi-year federal support for state and tribal governments to build or strengthen coordinated programs serving expectant and parenting young people and adults, including fathers, with a focus on wraparound supports that intersect health, education, and family economic stability.
