What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF): Administration on Children, Youth and Families' (ACYF); Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) announces the availability of funds under the Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (CSRAE) Program. The purpose of the Title V Competitive SRAE program is to fund projects that implement education exclusively on sexual risk avoidance that normalizes the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity and teaches youth participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity.

Applicants are expected to submit plans that include interventions and/or strategies that are medically accurate and complete; age-appropriate with regard to the developmental stage of the intended audience; and culturally appropriate, recognizing the experiences of youth from diverse communities, backgrounds, and experiences. Sexual risk avoidance education must ensure that the unambiguous and primary emphasis is a message to youth that normalizes the optimal health behavior of delaying sexual activity until marriage.

In accordance with Title V Competitive SRAE legislation, interventions must address each of the following topics:

The holistic, individual, and societal benefits associated with personal responsibility, self-regulation, goal setting, healthy decision-making, and a focus on the future.
The advantage of refraining from non-marital sexual activity to improve future prospects, and physical and emotional health of youth.
The increased likelihood of avoiding poverty when youth attain self-sufficiency and emotional maturity before engaging in sexual activity.
The foundational components of healthy relationships and their impact on the formation of healthy marriages and safe and stable families.
How other youth risk behaviors, such as drug and alcohol usage, increase the risk for teen sex.
How to resist and avoid, and receive help regarding sexual coercion and dating violence, recognizing that, even with consent, teen sex remains a youth-risk behavior.
