Opportunity description

The Title V Competitive SRAE program competitively funds projects to implement sexual risk avoidance education that teaches youth ages 10-19 how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. Projects must: 1) use medically accurate information referencing peer-reviewed publications by educational, scientific, governmental, or health organizations; 2) implement an evidence-based approach integrating research findings with practical strategies that align with the needs and desired outcomes for the intended audience; 3) teach the benefits associated with personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy decision making, and a focus on the future; 4) discourage sexual coercion, dating violence, and other youth risk behaviors such as underage drinking or illicit drug use; 5) be culturally appropriate, recognizing the experiences of youth from diverse communities, backgrounds, and experiences; 6) normalize avoiding non-marital sexual activity; and 7) be age-appropriate. This opportunity supports the development and implementation of such projects in states that do not accept FY 2026 allocations for Title V State SRAE.
