Opportunity Summary:
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Competitive Grants opportunity, offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). This funding announcement notes an important administrative change: the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) was updated from HHS 2012 ACF ACYF AD 0284 to HHS 2012 ACF ACYF AK 0284, which applicants would need to use when locating the correct notice and submitting an application.
The core goal of the program is to support local projects that deliver education designed to prevent unintended teen pregnancy and reduce sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Funded projects are expected to provide age-appropriate education to youth ages 10 to 19, and also to pregnant and parenting youth under age 21. The educational approach explicitly includes both abstinence and contraception as prevention strategies, reflecting PREP's emphasis on equipping young people with medically accurate information and practical skills intended to reduce risk.
In addition to sexual health education, grantees must incorporate content that prepares young people for adulthood. The announcement specifies that successful applicants will provide programming in at least three of six adulthood preparation subject areas (the specific six topics are referenced as being listed in the full published funding opportunity announcement). In practical terms, this requirement means applicants must design programming that goes beyond pregnancy and STI prevention alone and includes broader skill-building and readiness components aligned with transitioning to healthy, stable adulthood.
Eligibility for this particular competitive grant round is geographically limited. Only local organizations and entities located in Florida, Indiana, North Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and certain U.S. territories and freely associated states are eligible: Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, and Palau. Within those locations, the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, including nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), faith-based organizations, consortia, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), county and municipal governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, tribal governments and tribal organizations, and public or private institutions of higher education. The key constraint is location and being a local organization or entity as described in the announcement.
From a funding standpoint, ACF anticipated making about 30 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $18,652,200. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $200,000 up to a ceiling of $900,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though applicants sometimes still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen their program design). The CFDA number associated with this program is 93.092, listed as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program.
Key dates and submission details are also clearly stated. The opportunity was posted on June 22, 2012, with an application due date of August 6, 2012. Applications submitted electronically had to be received no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date is listed as September 5, 2012, indicating when the listing would be moved into an archived status after the competition closed.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the notice provides an additional information link hosted on the ACF grants site. It also lists the ACF Applications Help Desk as the point of contact for technical access issues, with the email appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
