Who is eligible to apply/benefit from this assistance?
Applicant Eligibility
Component 1 eligible applicants are limited to: ? State Governments or their Bona Fide Agents (includes the District of Columbia); Local Governments or their Bona Fide Agents; Territorial Governments or their Bona Fide Agents in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau Governments; ? American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments (federally recognized or state-recognized); and ? American Indian or Alaska native tribally designated organizations. If an education agency declines to apply for funding, the health agency in its jurisdiction or the health agency's Bona Fide Agent may apply on its behalf. To obtain and then maintain funding for Component 2, local education agencies are required to apply for and meet the additional requirements of Component 1. While agencies are encouraged to apply for funding for both YRBS and Profiles, education or health agencies in jurisdictions that are not applying for Component 2 funding are permitted to apply for a reduced amount of funding under Component 1 for a single survey (either YRBS or Profiles). Component 2 eligible applicants are limited to local education agencies (LEA) only. An LEA must demonstrate an ability to reach a minimum of 10,000 students in priority schools (high schools, or a combination of middle and high schools) with the proposed work plan in order for the application to be eligible for review. LEA with an enrollment of less than 10,000 students may combine with other geographically contiguous districts to create a consortium application. In doing so, the consortium must designate a single LEA to submit the application and, if funded, administer the program. This designated LEA will become the fiscal agent and responsible agency for all activities under this cooperative agreement. Existing regional structures such as Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) or their equivalent may also apply. Component 2 applicants are also required to apply for and meet the requirements of Component 1. Component 3 eligibility is open to all applicants.
