Request for Application - 2018

The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to solicit competitive applications from eligible organizations for funding from the California Department of Public Health, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Division (CDPH/MCAH) to implement the California Personal Responsibility Education Program (CA PREP).

Due to the uncertainty of future Federal allocations, only one year of funding (State Fiscal Year 2018-19) is available for allocation at this time. This allocation comes from unspent funding from previous Federal PREP awards and may not be available in the future. Should Federal PREP funding be extended or reauthorized for future years, a separate competitive RFA will be released.

Who Can Apply

Current CA PREP awardees (i.e., agencies funded to implement CA PREP from July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2018) are invited to apply to this RFA.

Given the one-year funding cycle, CDPH/MCAH determined that eligibility for funding through this RFA will be restricted to current CA PREP awardees. This will allow current CA PREP services to continue without interruption during this time of uncertainty.

Purpose

CA PREP is intended to educate youth on preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections through replicating or substantially incorporating elements of effective evidence- based program models that have been proven to change sexual risk-taking behavior, including delaying sexual activity and increasing contraceptive use. PREP programming must include both abstinence and contraception education, and must cover three adulthood preparation subjects. CA PREP activities must also include community engagement around improving adolescent sexual health and promotion of clinical linkages.

Amount

Up to $5,100,000 per year in grant funds with up to 22 awards expected. Grant awards will range from $125,000 (minimum) to $400,000 (maximum) based on the county and project awarded.

CA PREP is Federally funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It was originally authorized in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act, and was most recently extended through FY 2016 and 2017 as part of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015.
