Federal Grant Award Summary

The Florida Department of Health received a formula grant award of $1,154,636 from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families for the Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (Title V State SRAE) Program (CFDA 93.235). The award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027, funds prevention education initiatives targeting youth ages 10 to 19 in Florida. The program delivers educational messages and interventions designed to promote healthy decision-making among adolescents, with a specific focus on encouraging youth to avoid non-marital sexual activity and other risky behaviors.

Under this formula grant, the Florida Department of Health implements evidence-based prevention education strategies that normalize optimal health behaviors and support positive youth development and risk mitigation for the target youth population. The two-year funding period allows the state to develop and maintain comprehensive education programs that support youth in making informed decisions regarding sexual activity and associated health risks. As a formula grant distributed according to predetermined statutory criteria rather than competitive selection, this award represents the state's ongoing participation in a federally supported prevention education initiative administered across all U.S. states and territories.
