Charlotte’s Youth Catalytics appeals federal grant termination
Last month the Office of Adolescent Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services informed Youth Catalytics that it was rescinding a $2 million-plus federal grant they had been awarded for pregnancy-prevention work. This five-year grant began in 2016 with $564,000 in funding. The remaining four years of the grant have been terminated. Scheduled training and research was halted just when new programing was gaining momentum, said Meagan Downey, Youth Catalytics Director of Special Projects.
