The Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Family Health Services, has opened a competitive, applicant-facing State Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) grant funded through the federal Department of Health and Human Services Family and Youth Services Bureau. The program supports approved, evidence-informed education for Florida youth ages 10–19, parents and influential adults, with emphasis on communities experiencing elevated teen birth rates and unmet prevention needs. This is a financial-assistance grant administered through a state RFA, not a conventional supply or equipment procurement.
Individual awards, total pool and match
Individual applicant award range: $150,000–$200,000 per year. There are specified $150,000 and $200,000 funding levels tied to required participant and program deliverables. The $1,500,000 total program funding pool is not an individual award. The number and amount of awards depend on eligible applications and Florida Department of Health decisions. Each applicant may submit only one application. There is no required matching or in-kind contribution. The grant agreement runs from execution through September 30, 2027.
