Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Announcement of Availability of Funds for Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Research and Demonstration Programs (Tier 2) - Community Collaborative Academy" (Funding Opportunity Number AH-TP2-14-001) is a discretionary federal funding announcement administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health under CFDA 93.297, the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program. It was posted on February 7, 2014, with an application closing date of April 24, 2014, and an archive date of May 24, 2014. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have an active role in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.

The central purpose of the award is to support work in three to five communities that have high teen pregnancy rates and to help those communities develop innovative, locally tailored strategies to prevent teen pregnancy. The emphasis is not only on locations with high rates, but also on populations where the need is clear and the risk factors are elevated. That includes high-risk and vulnerable youth, culturally underrepresented youth, and young people living in areas with high teen birth rates or high teen pregnancy rates. In practice, this opportunity is aimed at strengthening local capacity to design and coordinate prevention approaches that fit community realities, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all program model.

A key expectation is that the successful applicant will convene and coordinate a team in each selected community composed of representatives from multiple sectors. While the announcement does not list specific required sectors in the excerpt provided, the intent is a broad cross-community collaborative, typically involving stakeholders such as public health, schools, youth-serving organizations, community-based groups, faith or cultural leaders where relevant, social services, and other local systems that influence adolescent health and opportunity. The collaborative teams are expected to develop a community-specific strategy or prevention framework that directly addresses teen pregnancy prevention within that community. The overall structure suggests a deliberate planning-and-design focus, with communities building an organized prevention approach grounded in local needs, assets, and gaps.

Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $890,000. The award ceiling is listed as $890,000 and the award floor as $750,000, indicating a fairly tight funding range for the one recipient organization. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of entities across public, private, nonprofit, and tribal sectors. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) as well as small businesses; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (with the noted exception categories related to higher education status); public and private institutions of higher education; state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations (not federally recognized). This wide eligibility range reflects the community collaborative nature of the project, where different kinds of lead organizations may be well positioned to coordinate cross-sector teams and support local strategy development.

In terms of submission milestones, the announcement specifies that non-binding Letters of Intent were due on March 21, 2014 by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The full application deadline was April 24, 2014. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the provided support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, with phone support at 1-800-518-4726 and email at support@grants.gov.

Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to seed and support a structured, collaborative planning and strategy development process in a small number of high-need communities. The recipient would function as the organizer and facilitator that helps local teams align around a shared prevention framework, encouraging innovation that responds to the specific risks, cultures, and service landscapes of each community rather than treating teen pregnancy prevention as a generic intervention.
