AI Contract Overview
The Personal Responsibility Education Program-Innovative Strategies (PREIS) aims to strengthen the evidence base for adolescent pregnancy prevention initiatives targeting high-risk and vulnerable youth populations, including those in foster care, juvenile justice systems, trafficking victims, homeless youth, youth with HIV/AIDS, expectant and parenting youth under 21, and those living in areas with high youth birth rates. Funded projects must deliver services incorporating at least three of six adulthood preparation subjects, such as healthy relationships, adolescent development, financial literacy, parent-child communication, educational and career success, and healthy life skills. Each project is required to conduct rigorous impact evaluations using randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental designs, which must be carried out by independent third-party evaluators. Interventions selected for PREIS funding are expected to show promising preliminary positive results from prior research but should not have been previously evaluated using rigorous experimental designs. These projects must present a clear theory of change and have established intervention materials ready for implementation. Managed by the Administration for Children & Families within the Department of Health and Human Services, this initiative supports the development and assessment of innovative prevention strategies to better serve culturally underrepresented and vulnerable youth populations. Interested parties can contact Katherine Godesky for more information.

Full Description
The Personal Responsibility Education Program-Innovative Strategies (PREIS) builds the evidence base for adolescent pregnancy prevention interventions that are effective with high risk and vulnerable youth populations and addresses gaps with new promising program models. PREIS funds rigorous impact evaluations of innovative youth pregnancy prevention interventions that target services to high-risk, vulnerable, and culturally under-represented youth populations, including youth in foster care/child welfare settings, juvenile justice, victims of trafficking, youth who have runaway or experience homelessness, youth with HIV/AIDS, expectant youth who are under 21 years of age and their partners, parenting youth who are under 21 years of age and their partners, and youth residing in areas with high birth rates for youth. Projects must implement at least three of the six congressionally mandated adulthood preparation subjects (APS) which include: 1) healthy relationships, 2) adolescent development, 3) financial literacy, 4) parent-child communication, 5) educational and career success, and 6) healthy life skills. Projects are required to conduct rigorous impact evaluations (randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental design studies with assignment to treatment or control group). PREIS evaluations must be conducted by an independent, third-party evaluator.
Interventions to be evaluated under this funding opportunity are expected to have compelling, positive preliminary evidence from previous research, but have not been evaluated through a randomized control trial or quasi-experimental design. Interventions must have a well-described theory of change, with intervention materials already developed.
