As stated in the Overview section of this Web site, the purpose of the regional pre-application workshops is to provide interested organizations with an overview of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)/Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) Community-Based Abstinence Education Program, and the programmatic and fiscal expectations of applying for the upcoming funding competition.

In order to assist organizations with the application process, the Application Guidance and the PHS 5161-1 form, which are used to apply for the grant, will be reviewed in detail at each workshop. However, it is necessary for each participant to obtain a copy of these documents on their own and to bring the copy to the workshop as these documents will not be made available at the workshops.
