About this opportunity

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks applications for cooperative agreements to implement and evaluate strategies aligned with CDC's What Works in Schools approach. The funded research must address students' health behaviors and outcomes related to sexual and reproductive health, mental and behavioral health, suicidality, substance use, and experiences of violence in local education agencies and schools serving rural or American Indian/Alaska Native adolescents. Eligible applicant organizations include state, local, and tribal governments, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and for-profit entities. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as significance, investigators, innovation, approach, and environment. Letters of intent are due February 9, 2024, and full applications are due March 11, 2024.

The NOFO will provide up to $5 million over five years to fund two awards of up to $500,000 per year. Funded projects must use a quasi-experimental design to evaluate adapted What Works in Schools strategies with schools serving either rural or American Indian/Alaska Native youth. Successful applicants must report on implementation and outcomes as part of the associated HIV Demonstration, Research, Public and Professional Education Projects federal grant program (CFDA 93.941).

Update #2 · Latest ·

The Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) program began moving from CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) to CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) in October 2023. As a result, the previously posted forecast for NOFO RFA-PS-24-038 has been deleted, and is being reposted under the NCCDPHP. The new NOFO number is RFA-DP-24-138.This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports research to implement and evaluate strategies aligned with CDC's What Works in Schools (WWIS) approach for successful implementation in local education agencies and schools serving rural or American Indian and/or Alaska Native (AI/AN) adolescents to address students' health behaviors, experiences, and outcomes, particularly those related to sexual and reproductive health and mental and behavioral health, as well as suicidality, substance use, and experiences of violence. The purpose of the research is to build the evidence base for innovative, school-based or school-linked strategies that promote the health of youth across multiple health domains while also supporting translation and dissemination of the research findings. Strategies may include programs, policies, or practices that seek to improve sexual and reproductive health as well as improve mental and behavioral health in a manner that also addresses health equity among youth in local education agencies and schools serving rural or American Indian and/or Alaska Native (AI/AN) adolescents. Additionally, strategies may also seek to reduce suicidality, substance use and experiences of violence among school-aged adolescents.
