Opportunity Summary:

The FY12 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Minnesota Ramsey County) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under the Title X Family Planning Program (CFDA 93.217), administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The purpose of the funding is to establish and operate voluntary family planning service projects in the anticipated service area of Ramsey County, Minnesota. Projects funded through this announcement are expected to make family planning services available to all individuals who want them, while giving priority to people from low-income families. The program emphasis is on ensuring access to core clinical family planning care along with related preventive health services, supported by education, information, counseling, and referral services when needed.

Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or eligible territory. Importantly, the announcement notes that local and regional entities may apply directly to the Secretary even if a state entity is also applying, which opens competition beyond statewide agencies. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are explicitly eligible as well. Private nonprofit applicants must be prepared to document their nonprofit status using acceptable proof described in the application instructions referenced in the announcement.

From a program design standpoint, the announcement highlights that applicants may directly provide services or may propose a model that relies on other organizations to deliver some services. If an applicant plans to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting and working with other entities that are eligible to receive federal funds, with the goal of delivering the best possible coverage and service capacity across the service area. In other words, proposals are expected to demonstrate thoughtful network-building, fair consideration of capable providers, and a credible plan to reach people most in need.

Applications are expected to be built around Title X requirements and guidance, including the Title X statute, applicable federal regulations, program guidelines, legislative mandates, program priorities, and other key issues outlined in the notice and the application kit. This signals that successful applicants should not only describe services, staffing, and service sites, but also show operational alignment with Title X standards for family planning projects, including the expected scope of clinical services and the supporting education and counseling components.

The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award amount set at both the floor and the ceiling of $455,867, meaning the planned funding level was fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is PA FPH 12 004. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2011, with an application closing date of October 14, 2011, and an archive date of November 13, 2011. Applicants were directed to follow the full announcement for submission requirements, deadlines, and timing details. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) with weekday hours noted in the notice.
