Federal Grant Award Summary

The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services received a $357,646 Formula Grant award from the Administration for Children and Families, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Title V State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program (CFDA 93.235). This award supports the development and implementation of prevention education initiatives targeting youth ages 10 to 19 across Nebraska. The program delivers evidence-based educational curricula and messaging designed to promote optimal health behaviors, with a specific emphasis on avoiding non-marital sexual activity and other risky behaviors among young people.

As a formula-based allocation distributed according to statutory criteria, the award requires Nebraska DHHS to develop and maintain comprehensive state plans for prevention education delivery, establish detailed program records in accordance with 45 CFR Part 75, and implement positive youth development strategies. The funding remains available for expenditure through September 30, 2027, with continuation contingent upon submission of letters of intent and updated state plans rather than full reapplication, unless material program changes occur.
