Program 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.

💡 Tips for applicants

- Address alignment with OASH priorities. Review the priorities at https://health.gov/priorities and incorporate relevant themes into your proposal.
- Plan for sustainable infrastructure and staffing. The training center must support all current and future OPA-funded TPP recipients over the project period.
- Include evaluation and outcome metrics. Show how you will measure the effectiveness of your training and technical assistance services.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Failing to clarify how you will serve the entire national network of OPA-funded programs, not just a subset. Underestimating the scope and complexity of supporting multiple types of organizations (grant recipients, sub-recipients, partners). Neglecting to align activities with current OASH priorities or statutory requirements.
