Opportunity Summary:
The 2012 Title X Family Planning and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement FOA (Funding Opportunity Number PA-FPT-12-011) is a discretionary health funding opportunity issued under CFDA 93.260 (Family Planning Personnel Training) by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health through the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would be expected to work closely with the federal project officers and program staff in carrying out the required activities rather than operating with complete independence. The overall purpose is to strengthen the quality, consistency, and performance of Title X-funded family planning service projects by expanding access to targeted training and hands-on technical assistance.
Part A of the announcement focuses on “Coordination and Strategic Initiatives” through the establishment and support of Family Planning Training and Technical Assistance Centers (FPTTAC). OPA indicated approximately $3.8 million in FY 2012 funding available for Part A (inclusive of indirect costs) to support four awards. The centers funded under Part A are expected to deliver both training and technical assistance in priority areas identified by the program, with the practical goal of improving how Title X family planning projects perform and how well they deliver required services. In other words, these centers function as capacity-builders for the Title X network, helping grantees and service sites apply standards, improve systems, and address operational or clinical performance gaps through structured learning and individualized support.
The FOA also describes Part B, which is presented as a related but distinct component led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the Division of STD Prevention. Part B would provide approximately $3.0 million in FY 2012 funds (inclusive of indirect costs) to support up to ten Family Planning STD-related Reproductive Health, Prevention, Training, and Technical Assistance Centers (STDRHPTTAC). These Part B centers are described as being funded each year for up to five years, emphasizing STD-related reproductive health prevention, training, and technical assistance capacity aligned with family planning service settings. While Part A is tied directly to OPA’s Title X performance improvement needs, Part B emphasizes the integration and strengthening of STD prevention and related reproductive health efforts within the family planning context.
Key administrative details in the posted source data include an expected four awards (reflecting Part A), an award ceiling listed at $1,000,000 with no stated award floor, and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted April 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 11, 2012. Eligibility is broadly labeled as “Others,” with direction to consult the announcement’s additional eligibility information section for clarification; the excerpted source data does not provide further eligibility constraints. For applicants unable to access the full announcement online, the contact listed is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which provides technical assistance for accessing and submitting materials through Grants.gov.
In practical terms, the FOA is about building a national or multi-regional support infrastructure for the Title X program and related STD prevention work by funding specialized centers that can train providers and administrators, deliver technical assistance, and coordinate strategic initiatives that improve service delivery. The emphasis on “identified priority areas” signals that awardees would be expected to align their training curricula, consultation, and improvement activities with federal program priorities and evolving needs across the Title X service network, rather than offering generic education alone.
