2008 Adolescent Family Life Demonstration Program: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs requests applications for Adolescent Family Life (AFL) prevention demonstration grants, as authorized by Title XX of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, 42 U.S.C. 300z et seq. These grants are for projects to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-site primary abstinence education program targeting youth ages 12-18, as compared with a multi-site "enriched" program model. This announcement defines a primary abstinence education program as 15-25 hours of abstinence education and supportive services and activities conducted within one year with the same participants. OAPP has selected 15-25 hours as a range for a primary abstinence education program based on several studies suggesting that this amount of dosage can have a positive effect on youth [see Connell, D.B., Turner, R.R. & Mason E.F. (1985) Summary of findings of the school health education evaluation: health promotion effectiveness, implementation and costs." Journal of School Health, 55 (8), 316-321) and Moore, D.A. & Sugland, B.W. (1997). Using behavioral theories to design abstinence programs. Children and Youth Services Review, 19(5/6), 485-500].

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Any public or private nonprofit organization or agency is eligible to apply for a grant. However, only those organizations or agencies that demonstrate the capability of providing and thoroughly evaluating a multi-site model as stipulated in this announcement will be considered for grant awards. Applicants must also propose services that meet the statutory requirements in order to be considered. Faith-based and community-based organizations are encouraged to apply for AFL grants. Please note, however, that AFL funds may not be used for inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, and proselytization. If an organization engages in such activities, they must be offered separately in time or location from the program funded under the AFL program and participation must be voluntary for program beneficiaries. An AFL program, in providing services and outreach related to program services, cannot discriminate against current or prospective program beneficiaries on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to actively participate in a religious practice. Please also note that all adolescents, regardless of race or religion, shall be eligible to participate in an AFL program. Applications will be accepted from organizations that are currently operating AFL prevention demonstration programs if they propose a multi-site model with a randomized evaluation design (if possible) as stipulated in this announcement.
