Description
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of Population Affairs (OPA) anticipates the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 grants under the authority of Division B of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (Public Law No. 119–75). Through a competitive NOFO, OPA will seek applications to establish and operate a National Training Center for Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to all OPA-funded TPP program recipients. All activities funded under this NOFO must be in compliance with statutory requirements and are expected to be in alignment with the Priorities of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, available at https://health.gov/priorities.This funding opportunity aims to establish and operate a national training center (NTC) for TPP grant recipients that will provide TTA to build their capacity to effectively deliver high quality services and programs and have the greatest impact on meeting their project"s goals. The primary audience for the training center is OPA-funded TPP grant recipients. Many of these grant recipients rely on sub-recipients and partners to directly deliver services and implement programs, therefore OPA expects the funded training center to provide TTA at the grant recipient, sub-recipient, and implementation partner level to support grant recipient and the efforts of their network.

This is in a public-health domain, but it primarily funds a national training and technical assistance center for program implementation rather than research. IPPRA’s strengths in survey research, behavioral evidence, and evaluation could support the work, but the opportunity is not centered on research and is more service-oriented than a direct fit. Eligibility is broad, so a public university could apply, but the research component appears secondary.

| 2026-07-06 | 72 | gpt-5.4-mini | This is a strong public-health fit because the center would provide training and technical assistance to teen pregnancy prevention grantees, which typically involves health communication, behavioral intervention implementation, and program evaluation. IPPRA could contribute on the human/behavioral side by strengthening evidence-based messaging, uptake, and implementation fidelity across recipient networks. Eligibility is broad and explicitly includes public entities, so a public university like OU could apply directly or as a partner. |
