Description
The
Administration for Children and Families, Administration on Children, Youth and
Families' Family and Youth Services Bureau announces the availability of funds
under the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program.
The
purpose of the SRAE Program is to fund projects to implement sexual risk
avoidance education that teaches participants how to voluntarily refrain from
non-marital sexual activity. The goal of the SRAE program is to
educate youth on how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity
and prevent other youth risk behaviors. Successful applicants are
expected to submit program plans that agree to use medically accurate
information referenced to peer-reviewed publications by educational,
scientific, governmental, or health organizations; implement an evidence-based
approach integrating research findings with practical implementation that
aligns with the needs and desired outcomes for the intended audience; and teach
the benefits associated with self-regulation, success sequencing for poverty
prevention, healthy relationships, goal setting, and resisting sexual coercion,
dating violence, and other youth risk behaviors such as underage drinking or
illicit drug use without normalizing teen sexual activity.
The
award process for FY 2016 SRAE program allows for annual awards over a three year project period as funds are available.
