Opportunity Information: Apply for AH TP1 18 001
The FY18 Announcement of Availability of Funds for Phase I Replicating Programs (Tier 1) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, focused on teen pregnancy prevention and broader adolescent well-being. The funding is intended to help organizations replicate and scale up programs that have demonstrated effectiveness, particularly those that build protective factors proven to reduce youth risk behaviors, including behaviors associated with teen pregnancy. Rather than treating teen pregnancy in isolation, the program emphasizes a more holistic approach to adolescent sexual risk by addressing interconnected influences on health and decision-making, with the larger aim of promoting healthy adolescence overall.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means awardees should expect an active federal partnership during implementation. In practice, that typically involves ongoing coordination, guidance, and performance monitoring beyond what might be required under a standard grant. The funding announcement is identified as Funding Opportunity Number AH TP1 18 001 and falls under the health category, with CFDA number 93.297. The original announcement was posted on April 20, 2018, with an original closing date of June 29, 2018.
A central expectation of this FOA is that applicants target youth and communities at elevated risk. Applicants are asked to select one or more populations within a community where measures of sexual risk are at or above the national average, as documented in a current federal report. Examples of qualifying indicators include teen birth rates, sexually transmitted disease (STD) rates, sexual activity rates, or other credible measures of sexual risk. Communities may also qualify if they have not experienced declines in these indicators that keep pace with national downward trends, even if their current levels are not the highest. This focus makes the program explicitly data-driven: applicants need to justify why their chosen community is high-need using relevant benchmark comparisons.
The FOA also places strong importance on geographic specificity and measurable service coverage. Each selected community must be defined using clear geographic boundaries so that the number of youth served can be accurately identified and so that sexual risk indicators can be monitored over time. This requirement supports accountability by ensuring programs can track both reach (how many young people are served and where) and outcomes (whether risk rates shift in the targeted area). It also signals that applicants should be prepared to use local and national data sources in planning and evaluation, and to structure service delivery so the target population is clearly delineated rather than broadly defined.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes many types of public, private, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) as well as small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the FOA’s eligibility section. This wide eligibility suggests the program is designed to support replication in diverse settings, such as schools, community-based organizations, health-focused nonprofits, tribal communities, local governments, and multi-sector partnerships.
In terms of funding scale, the award ceiling listed is $500,000 per award, and the FOA anticipated a large number of awards (expected awards: 270), indicating an intent to fund many implementing sites rather than a small number of large projects. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as support for expanding proven, protective-factor-based interventions in clearly defined high-risk communities, using a holistic youth development lens and emphasizing measurable targeting, documented need, and the capacity to track the population served and related risk indicators.Apply for AH TP1 18 001
