Notice of Award of Non-Competitive Grant

AGENCY: Administration on Children, Youth, and Families (ACYF), ACF, 
DHHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    CFDA No.: 93.010, Community-Based Abstinence Education.
    Legislative Authority: Title XI, Section 1110 of the Social 
Security Act.
    Amount of Award: $2,500,000.
    Project Period: September 30, 2007-March 30, 2009 (18 months).
    Justification for the Exception to Competition: ACYF will award 
service grant funds without competition to the Prevention Research 
Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston to 
build on a longitudinal study they are currently conducting of 
adolescent pregnancy approaches. They are the only research group 
currently conducting a study of size and scope that provides for access 
to schools and study participants for the collection of additional data 
needed. Building on the existing study already underway saves the cost 
of initiating a study from the ground up.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stan Koutstaal, Ph.D., Director, 
Division of Abstinence Education, Family and Youth Services Bureau, 
ACYF, ACF, DHHS. Portals Building, Suite 800, 1250 Maryland Avenue,
