- October 07, 2022
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding more than $6 million in Title X grants as part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to expand access to reproductive health care.
The funding, awarded through the Office of Population Affairs, will go toward research aimed at improving the delivery of family planning services, expanding equitable access to reproductive health services, and preventing teen pregnancy.
"These new research grants will provide insights that will help our community partners provide essential, client-centered reproductive health services," said ADM Rachel L. Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health.
Meanwhile, the Department of Education issued guidance to remind colleges and universities that Title IX prohibits institutions receiving federal funding from discriminating against students and employees based on pregnancy, childbirth, or termination of pregnancy.
