Opportunity Information: Apply for WH AST 22 005
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Addressing Eating Disorders and the COVID-19 Pandemic" (Funding Opportunity Number: WH AST 22 005; CFDA: 93.088). The purpose of this program is to fund projects that respond to the spike and worsening of eating disorder risks and symptoms seen during the COVID-19 era, with a clear emphasis on teen girls who are at risk. The grant is oriented toward practical, evidence-based work that can detect eating disorders earlier and prevent them from developing or escalating, especially in the context of pandemic-related conditions that have intensified vulnerability.
OWH is looking for applicants to design and carry out interventions that directly address the ways social isolation, loneliness, and COVID-19-related social restrictions have contributed to eating disorder risk among teen girls. In other words, the program is not only about general education or awareness; it is about targeted approaches that take seriously the pandemic's role in changing daily routines, social supports, access to care, and mental health stressors, and then building interventions that fit that reality. Projects are expected to be evidence-based, meaning they should be grounded in research or proven models, and should be structured so that the strategies are clearly defined, implemented, and assessed.
A central theme of the opportunity is collaboration across systems of care. OWH specifically encourages applicants to form partnerships between community organizations, hospitals or clinical settings, and nutrition professionals (such as nutritionists) to close gaps in detection, referral, and treatment support. This reflects a recognition that teens often encounter different parts of the health and social support system at different times, and that coordination can make the difference between missed warning signs and timely help. Applicants are also expected to focus on modifiable risk factors and behavior change, aiming for measurable improvements in health outcomes, rather than limiting the project to information dissemination alone.
Another priority is developmentally appropriate education and outreach tailored to teen girls. That means materials, messaging, and engagement strategies should be designed for adolescent audiences and sensitive to the realities of teen life, including social media pressures, peer dynamics, family context, school environments, and disruptions caused by the pandemic. Outreach is expected to connect at-risk teens with supportive resources and practical prevention tools, ideally in ways that are accessible and culturally responsive within the communities served.
From a funding and project structure standpoint, OWH anticipated making about five awards, with an award ceiling of up to $500,000. Projects can run for up to three years, organized into annual budget periods. After the first year, recipients must submit a non-competing continuation application each year to receive continued funding. Continued support is not automatic; it depends on factors such as available appropriations, strong performance and progress toward milestones, timely reporting, compliance with grant requirements, and the government's determination that continued funding remains in its best interest. In addition, OWH anticipated the possibility of a competitive fourth year, intended to provide limited, additional support to selected projects as they transition toward sustainability beyond the grant period.
Key administrative details from the posting include a creation date of May 12, 2022, and an original closing date of July 15, 2022. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full announcement. Overall, the opportunity is designed to catalyze coordinated, evidence-based prevention and early detection efforts for eating disorders among teen girls, explicitly shaped around the social and mental health fallout associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and structured to encourage projects that can demonstrate results and continue beyond federal start-up funding.Apply for WH AST 22 005
