By ETR | January 13, 2015
Just about everyone working in adolescent reproductive health has been waiting for the new Office of Adolescent Health Teen Pregnancy Prevention funding proposals. Start breathing again, people! The proposals have arrived!
ETR has just launched a very cool website to help grant seekers develop their plans, choose their programs and prepare their proposals. Check out our brand new Program Success Center for an impressive array of useful tools and resources.
ETR enthusiastically welcomes this federal support for efforts to reduce unplanned teen pregnancy. We are also actively seeking partnerships with OAH grantees. We offer a number of funder-approved evidence-based programs, a wide range of training and technical assistance opportunities and an extensive selection of evaluation services.
Here are some helpful resources you’ll find at our new website.
Planning for Success
A great place to start planning your successful proposal is with our Program Success Framework. This simple 5-stage model outlines the essential elements of creating effective, sustainable programs that enable young people to thrive.
Programs
ETR is a leading publisher of Evidence-Based Programs (EBPs). We offer 7 pregnancy and STI/HIV prevention programs that are applicable to OAH Tier I/II grantees and others interested in using EBPs in their community. Our new Evidence-Based Program Selection Tool can help you review the features of each program and choose the best fit for your circumstances.
Training & Technical Assistance
ETR is also a nationally known provider of research-based training and technical assistance. We offer state-of-the-art skill-building trainings, information sessions, technical assistance (TA) and consultation that support teen pregnancy prevention programs.
The website’s Program Success Planning Tool is an interactive tool that helps you identify the training and technical assistance support needs you can anticipate at each stage of program implementation.
The handy Budget Calculator even helps you figure out what your training and TA support costs will be over the 5-year grant period.
Evaluation
ETR has a long history of conducting rigorous evaluations in the field of health promotion, with a special emphasis on sexual and reproductive health. Our highly-respected research team provides evaluation support for program implementation, including OAH grants, using well-established tools for measuring fidelity and outcomes.
Learn more about our deep range of evaluation services at our website, and look for free tools, such as our Best Practices reports on different evaluation components.
Let’s Make a Difference
Our nation is taking the challenge of unplanned teen pregnancy seriously. This OAH TPP initiative is the highest award amount ever offered by the federal government in this topic area. We have an extraordinary opportunity to make a genuine difference in rates of unplanned teen pregnancy.
We look forward to building powerful and effective partnerships with OAH grant seekers and support programs. Like you, we are ready to make a difference!
