The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics is currently accepting applications for its AERO Education Grant Program. This grant initiative is designed to support educational programs focused on aviation and aerospace, spanning from primary to post-secondary levels. The program aligns directly with the department's mission to encourage young people to pursue careers in aerospace or aviation upon completing their post-secondary education, recognizing the critical importance of workforce development in these sectors. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are students across Oklahoma, from elementary school to college, who will participate in aviation and aerospace-minded educational programs. The overarching impact goal is to expose more young Oklahomans to STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math—and to career opportunities within the aviation and aerospace industry. This focus directly addresses the state's need to build a robust aerospace and aviation workforce. A key priority of the AERO Education Grant Program is to fund initiatives that bridge the skills gap in Oklahoma's workforce. The program supports the Oklahoma Works initiative, which aims to connect students with programs that will help them develop the necessary skills for aerospace and aviation careers. The department's strategic priority is to foster a strong talent pipeline, and its theory of change posits that by investing in early and ongoing aerospace education, more students will choose these fields, thereby strengthening the state's industry. The expected outcomes of the grant program include an increase in the number of young people pursuing STEM education and ultimately entering the aviation and aerospace workforce. While specific measurable results like the number of students impacted or subsequent career choices are not detailed in the provided text, the agency annually allocates over $500,000 to programs statewide, indicating a significant, ongoing commitment to achieving these outcomes. This consistent investment underscores the department's dedication to its long-term strategic goals for aerospace and aviation workforce development.

The Indiana Department of Health’s (IDOH) Maternal and Child Health Division aims to fund community-based organizations, local health departments, hospitals, and not-for-profit organizations in Indiana. The primary goal is to implement evidence-based or promising practice programs focused on teen pregnancy prevention and positive youth development. This initiative aligns with the IDOH's mission to improve maternal and child health outcomes across the state by empowering youth to make healthy decisions and avoid risky behaviors. The funding is provided by the Family and Youth Services Bureau and the IDOH, Maternal and Child Health Division (MCH). The program's target beneficiaries are youth within Indiana, with an intentional focus on high-risk groups. These include youth in or aging out of foster care, those in the child welfare system, idle youth (not working or in school), school dropouts, youth living in poverty, youth in juvenile centers, traditionally underserved racial or ethnic groups, LGBTQIA+ youth, and runaway or homeless youth. The impact goals are to reduce teen pregnancy rates, promote self-regulation, encourage healthy relationships, and foster goal setting through a positive youth development framework. The priorities and focuses of this grant include providing evidence-based sexual risk avoidance education curricula that normalize voluntarily refraining from non-marital sexual activity. Programs should also emphasize the benefits of self-regulation, success sequencing, healthy relationships, and goal setting. Applicants may also implement the Teen Café Model alongside an evidence-based curriculum. Additionally, the program prioritizes teaching youth skills to avoid risky behaviors, explaining how alcohol and drug use increases vulnerability, defining "consent" and "active consent," and teaching the importance of attaining self-sufficiency before engaging in sexual activity. Where appropriate, mentoring, counseling, and adult supervision should be provided to support these objectives. Expected outcomes include a decrease in teen pregnancy rates among participating youth, an increase in youth demonstrating self-regulation and goal-setting behaviors, and improved decision-making regarding sexual activity. Measurable results will likely be tracked through participant engagement, knowledge acquisition on consent and risk avoidance, and, ultimately, a reduction in pregnancy rates within the target populations. The strategic priority is to equip Indiana's youth with the knowledge and skills necessary for positive development and to avoid the risks associated with early sexual activity, thereby improving long-term health and well-being outcomes. The theory of change posits that by providing comprehensive, evidence-based education and support, at-risk youth will be empowered to make informed choices that lead to healthier lives and a reduced incidence of teen pregnancy. Projects are scheduled to start October 1, 2024, and conclude September 30, 2026, contingent on federal funding availability.
