Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Support for Pregnant and Parenting Teens and Women FOA is a federal discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) within the Office of Public Health and Science, under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS. It was created to help states build and run programs that provide practical support to pregnant and parenting teens and women. The authority for the program comes from Sections 10211 through 10214 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148), which set up the Pregnancy Assistance Fund as a way to strengthen services and supports that can help young parents stay healthy, stay connected to education and training, and access needed social services.
Funding is structured as competitive grants to states, broadly defined to include the District of Columbia, U.S. commonwealths, possessions, and territories, as well as federally recognized Indian Tribes and reservations (all treated as "the State" for purposes of the announcement). The program was backed by an appropriation of $25 million per year for fiscal years 2010 through 2019, with HHS expected to coordinate with the U.S. Department of Education when appropriate. For this specific FY10 competition, OAH anticipated making up to 25 awards, with annual award amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. Projects could run for up to three years total, although funding for years two and three would depend on the availability of federal funds and continued support for the program.
The opportunity emphasizes program development and implementation, and OAH signaled it expected to fund a broad range of projects with different sizes and scopes. While the announcement does not list a single prescribed program model in the text provided, it clearly points applicants toward comprehensive, coordinated approaches that connect participants to existing supports and fill gaps in services for pregnant and parenting teens and women. The activities fall across several public service domains, including education, health, income security, and social services, reflecting that the needs of pregnant and parenting young people typically cut across multiple systems.
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities at the state or tribal level, and applications must be submitted by an authorized state representative. A key administrative requirement is that the application include a signed letter from that authorized representative, along with documentation showing that person has the authority to apply for and administer grant funds on behalf of the state or tribal government. The FOA allows the application to be developed either solely by the authorized representative or collaboratively with other state agencies, and it explicitly encourages multi-agency collaboration. In practice, this means applicants are expected to involve or coordinate with agencies such as state education departments and health and human services agencies, and to show how the proposed work will leverage other resources or connect participants to existing support services rather than operating in isolation.
The funding opportunity number is AH-SP1-10-003, and the program is listed under CFDA 93.500, Pregnancy Assistance Fund Program. The announcement notes that cost sharing or matching is required. The FOA was posted on July 1, 2010, with an application closing date of August 2, 2010, and it was archived on September 1, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) during standard weekday hours.
