The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Branch announces a request for proposals (RFP) from youth-serving community organizations and other entities for funding to provide evidence-based programs to youth. The focal populations will be youth, ages 12-15, in the following counties: Autauga, Barbour, Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Choctaw, Clay, Cleburne, Colbert, Covington, Cullman, Dallas, Elmore, Escambia, Fayette, Geneva, Greene, Hale, Henry, Houston, Jefferson, Lamar, Lowndes, Macon, Madison, Marengo, Marion, Mobile, Montgomery, Pickens, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, Tuscaloosa, Walker, Washington, Wilcox and Winston. Although the objective is to impact these focal populations, it can be expected that a larger segment of the adolescent population (ages 10-19) will also be reached during program delivery. The settings for implementation of these programs will be schools and community-based organizations.
