Pregnancy Assistance Fund
FY2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement
The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) announces the availability of Fiscal Year 2013 (FY13) funds for competitively awarded grants for the development and implementation of programs for expectant and parenting teens, women, fathers, and their families. The Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) grant programs are designed to strengthen access to and completion of secondary and postsecondary education, improve health outcomes for mothers and children, improve pregnancy planning and spacing, and reduce the likelihood of repeat teen pregnancies. The PAF also seeks to increase parenting skills for mothers, fathers, and their families, decrease intimate partner violence, strengthen co-parenting relationships and marriage where appropriate, and raise awareness of available resources among expectant and parenting teens.
Eligibility for funding: Any state, including the District of Columbia, any commonwealth, possession, or other territory of the United States, and any federally-recognized Indian tribe is eligible to apply. An authorized representative from the state or tribe must apply for grant funds available through this announcement. OAH will accept only one application per state or tribe.
