Evidence-Based Curriculum Selection & Adaptation

The contract seeks to identify, select, and culturally adapt evidence-based curricula aimed at preventing adolescent pregnancy among American Indian and Alaska Native youth. The work requires a deep understanding of tribal cultures, traditions, and community-specific needs to ensure that the selected programs are not only effective but also respectfully integrated into the lived experiences of the target population. The selected curricula must be grounded in proven public health strategies while being modified to reflect the linguistic, spiritual, and social contexts of Indigenous communities, ensuring relevance and engagement. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under the Administration for Children and Families within the Department of Health and Human Services, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 611430, indicating an emphasis on educational support services. Proposals must be submitted by August 17, 2026, and the work will focus on developing culturally congruent interventions that can be implemented in tribal settings. While no specific location for performance is listed, the ultimate goal is to deliver adaptable resources that can be deployed across diverse American Indian and Alaska Native communities nationwide.
