HHS Awards $5 Million in Research Grant Funding to Improve Quality, Access, and Equity in The Title X Family Planning and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs

September 15, 2024

The HHS Office of Population Affairs (OPA) is awarding more than $5 million in grant funding for Title X Family Planning Research Grants and Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Research to Practice Center grants as part of its work to protect and expand access to reproductive health care.

Title X Family Planning Research grants aim to conduct research or analyses to generate information that will improve the delivery of family planning services and expand equitable access to quality sexual and reproductive health services offered under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. Five organizations are receiving continuation funds for their third and final year of funding.

OPA's TPP Research to Practice Center grant projects synthesize and translate existing research into practice to improve adolescent health and ultimately help to reduce unintended teen pregnancy. Projects will continue to focus on the delivery of trauma-informed and inclusive practices in adolescent sexual and reproductive health programming and care and bringing adolescent sexual and reproductive health research to youth-serving professionals. Two organizations are receiving continuation funding for their third year of a four-year project period.
