Program Title: Community-Based Abstinence Education Project Grants
Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Sub-Agency: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
Letter of Intent due: December 31, 2003

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announces that
approximately $33 million in fiscal year (FY) 2004 funds will be
available for making competitive grants to provide abstinence education
to adolescents, subject to the availability of appropriations. There are
no cost sharing, matching or cost participation requirements of the
program. Eligibility is open to public and private entities, including
faith-based and community organizations, which develop and/or provide an
abstinence program consistent with the definition of ``abstinence
education'' in section 510 of the Social Security Act. In addition, the
entity must agree not to provide a participating adolescent any other
education regarding sexual conduct in the same setting. All awards will
be made under the program authority of section 501(a)(2) of the Social
Security Act, the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Federal Set-Aside
Program (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)) and will be administered by the Maternal
and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), HRSA. HRSA will encourage collaboration
from other Federal agencies that have an interest in abstinence
education, such as the Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). Contingent on the
availability of funding, up to 70 three-year implementation grants, with
annual awards ranging from $250,000 to $800,000, will be awarded.
Projects may be located in any State, the District of Columbia, and
United States territories, commonwealths, and possessions. However, to
ensure that there is a more even geographic distribution of grantees,
special consideration will be given to highly ranked applications in
States that do not have a Federally-funded Special Projects of Regional
and National Significance (SPRANS) Community-Based Abstinence Education
grant.

The purpose of the program is to fund a cooperative agreement to
conduct pilot studies to investigate methods for determining the
prevalence of a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an
institutionalized population. For purposes of this RFA,
``institutionalized'' refers to persons who are either incarcerated or
residing in a nursing home. Research on only one of these populations
should be proposed.
The program addresses the "Healthy People 2010" focus of Injury and
Violence Prevention.
