[29 Pa.B. 874]

   The Department of Health will distribute a Request for Application (RFA) for Planning Grants to implement three to four new community-based projects in Fiscal year 1998-99. Applicants will have the opportunity to request funding to support the planning and implementation of abstinence-only programs and services. The primary populations to be served are youth between 9-14 years of age with a focus on those groups that are most likely to bear children out of wedlock. A maximum grant of up to $25,000 is available for the 6-month planning period which begins April 1, 1999 and ends September 30, 1999. At the completion of the planning period and based on the results of project performance reviews, projects will be eligible for an amount of up to $75,000 annually for up to 3 years of Implementation Funding for the period October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2002.

   All questions regarding the RFA should be directed to Phyllis Welborn, Department of Health at [phone], or at V/TT [phone] for speech and/or hearing impaired persons or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Services at 1-800-654-5984 [TT].
