Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ACYF AK 1929
The Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Competitive Grants opportunity is a discretionary federal grant offered 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) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It is designed to fund local organizations and entities to develop and run PREP projects in states that did not take the federal PREP formula allocations provided in FY2010 and FY2011. In practical terms, this competition targets places where statewide PREP funding was not accepted, creating an opening for local or regional providers to deliver PREP programming through a competitive grant process rather than through a state-administered allocation.
The core purpose of the program is education and prevention. Funded projects must provide youth-focused education on abstinence and contraception with the goal of preventing unintended pregnancy and reducing sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. The primary population served is youth ages 10 to 19, and the program also explicitly includes pregnant and parenting youth under age 21. This means applicants should be prepared to design programming that is age-appropriate across a wide adolescent range and also responsive to the needs of young people who are already pregnant or parenting, who may face different risks and practical challenges.
A key requirement is that projects do more than sexual health education alone. In addition to covering abstinence and contraception education for pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention, grantees must implement at least three of six adulthood preparation subjects (the notice summarizes this requirement, and the full funding announcement typically defines the six allowable topics). This reflects PREP’s broader emphasis on helping young people build skills and knowledge that support healthy decision-making and readiness for adult responsibilities, not just delivering a standalone health curriculum.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public, private, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include county and municipal governments, special districts, independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses), small businesses, and other applicants as further clarified in the announcement’s eligibility section. Faith-based organizations and consortia are explicitly mentioned as potential applicants, signaling that partnerships across community sectors are encouraged and that applicants can propose collaborative implementation models.
From a funding standpoint, this opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) number 93.092 and falls under the broader federal activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The maximum award amount is $700,000 (award ceiling), and the agency anticipated making about 30 awards. The funding instrument is a grant. The opportunity was posted on June 15, 2021, with an application due date of July 15, 2021, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Overall, PREP Competitive Grants are meant to expand access to evidence-informed, youth-centered education that addresses both sexual health outcomes (pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention) and practical life skills associated with transitioning to adulthood. Successful applicants would typically be those that can show they are well-positioned to reach the target age groups, deliver high-quality programming aligned with PREP requirements, and integrate multiple adulthood preparation components alongside the required abstinence and contraception education.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ACYF AK 1929
