SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recipient: Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA.
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to conduct and
disseminate policy research aligned with the eight goals of HHS's Take
Action for Adolescence: A Call to Action for Adolescent Health and
Well-being to understand the impact of national, state, and local
policies on meeting adolescents' needs, and to inform efforts towards
strengthening commitments to funding, delivery of services, and
meaningful youth engagement.
Amount of Award: $999,855 annually for up to five years.
Project Period: The project period for the award will not exceed
five years.
The goals of this project are to conduct and disseminate policy
research aligned with Take Action for Adolescents to understand the
impact of national, state, and local policies on access, availability,
and quality of health care and health education for adolescents.
Specifically, the project will (1) engage key stakeholders involved in
Take Action for Adolescence, (2) conduct policy research to identify
the impact of national, state, and local policies on access,
availability, and quality of health care and health education for
adolescents, (3) develop a series of policy briefs that summarize the
research and identify strategies to improve adolescent health services
and support Take Action for Adolescents, and (4) disseminate the policy
briefs and effective strategies through publications and focused events
with key stakeholders to support sustainability engagements and actions
plans to improve adolescent health and well-being. This project will
help improve understanding of the impact of national, state, and local
policy on education and services for adolescents, and ultimately on
their health and well-being.
OPA performed an objective review of the unsolicited proposal from
Stanford University with subject matter assistance from within the
Department of Health and Human Services and internal proposal
assessments. Based on this review, OPA determined that the proposal has
merit.
Stanford University, under the leadership of Jonathan Klein, has
the unique breadth of expertise in the field of adolescent health and
the established partnerships with leading adolescent health
organizations necessary for success of this project. Issuing a single-
source award to Stanford University for this project will advance our
collective understanding of the impact of national, state, and local
policies on meeting adolescents' needs and will identify strategies for
advancing Take Action for Adolescents and improving adolescent health
and wellbeing.
This award is being made non-competitively because there is no
current, pending, or planned funding opportunity announcement under
which this proposal could compete.
Legislative Authority: Funding for this award is provided by CDC
DASH with authority under section 301(a) of the Public Health Service
Act, 42 U.S.C. 241(a). The grant award will be administered by OPA
under an interagency agreement.
