Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 Family Planning Research Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPR 09 001) was a discretionary federal grant program authorized under Section 1004 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. It was administered through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and aligned with CFDA 93.974, Family Planning Service Delivery Improvement Research Grants. The central purpose of the opportunity was to support research and evaluation activities that strengthen the evidence base used in family planning policy and service delivery, especially by filling recognized gaps in the data, analyses, and practical information available to the field.
This announcement specifically invited applications from public entities and private nonprofit organizations to conduct data analyses and related research and evaluation on topics relevant to family planning. The government framed the problem as a persistent shortfall in the quantity and quality of data and analytic work needed by administrators, planners, and researchers. It also emphasized that demand for better data and research-based guidance was expected to grow. In practical terms, the program aimed to expand the availability of usable, decision-oriented evidence that could inform how family planning services are organized and delivered, with the goal of improving services for individuals who need and want them.
The intended audiences for the products of these projects were broad and included family planning administrators and providers, academic and applied researchers, and local, state, and federal officials, including the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). The emphasis was not just on generating research for research's sake, but on producing analyses and findings that can be directly useful to real-world program operations, planning, and oversight. Projects funded under this cooperative agreement were therefore expected to contribute information that helps strengthen service delivery, supports better program management, and improves public-sector decision making in family planning.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $800,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $250,000 (award floor) and $400,000 (award ceiling). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which lowered the barrier for eligible organizations to participate and allowed applicants to focus on proposing strong analytic and evaluation work rather than assembling non-federal match resources. The funding instrument type is listed as a grant, and the activity category is health.
Eligibility was open to any public or private nonprofit entity located within a U.S. state or qualifying territory/jurisdiction. The eligible locations explicitly included the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and several Freely Associated States: the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The announcement also made clear that faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American (AI/AN/NA) organizations were eligible to apply, reinforcing that a wide range of nonprofit and public institutions could compete for funding.
The application timeline indicates the opportunity was posted March 25, 2009, with a closing date of May 26, 2009, and an archive date of June 25, 2009. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for submission requirements and precise deadlines and times. For access issues related to the electronic announcement, the contact listed was the Grants.gov Help Desk (Support@grants.gov), reflecting that applications were expected to be handled through the federal grants portal and associated processes.
Overall, the opportunity was designed as a targeted investment in analytic capacity for the family planning field: supporting projects that use existing or available data, evaluation methods, and research approaches to produce actionable findings. By focusing on closing data and analysis gaps and distributing research-based information to program leaders and government officials, the cooperative agreement sought to strengthen how family planning services are planned, managed, and delivered across diverse communities.
