Opportunity Summary:

The FY12 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Pennsylvania, Western, Northeastern, and Central) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under the Title X Family Planning Services program (CFDA 93.217). Released by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, it invites applications to establish and operate voluntary family planning service projects in Pennsylvania across the western, northeastern, and central regions. The core purpose is to ensure that people who want family planning services can access them, with an explicit priority placed on serving individuals from low income families.

The funded projects are expected to deliver a full range of Title X family planning services. That includes clinical family planning services and related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. The announcement also recognizes that referral services are part of appropriate care when indicated. Applicants are directed to build their proposals around the Title X statute, relevant federal regulations, program guidelines, legislative mandates, and stated program priorities, using the application kit and the announcement as the main roadmap for program design and compliance.

A key feature of this competition is that it is open to a wide set of nonprofit and public entities, and it does not limit applications only to state government. Any public or private nonprofit entity located within a U.S. state or territory (broadly defined to include areas such as the District of Columbia and multiple U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice) may apply. Even if a state applies, local and regional entities are still allowed to apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X grant under this announcement. Faith-based organizations are eligible, as are American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations. Private nonprofit applicants must be able to document their nonprofit status using acceptable proof described in the announcement.

The notice also signals how applications will be viewed when an applicant plans to deliver services through partner organizations or subcontracted providers. If a proposed project relies on other entities to provide services, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant plans to be when selecting and working with entities that are eligible to receive federal funds. In practical terms, applicants are expected to show that they will consider all qualified providers and structure partnerships in a way that best meets the needs of people across the proposed service area, rather than limiting participation without a strong justification.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity uses the grant instrument and falls under the health funding activity category. The announcement anticipates making three awards. The listed award floor is $1,725,678 and the award ceiling is $3,941,586, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted on September 27, 2011, and later reflects a creation date of February 15, 2012. The original closing date was March 31, 2012, and the current closing date is April 2, 2012, with a reminder to follow the official announcement for the exact submission requirements, deadlines, and times. The archive date is May 2, 2012.

For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating the electronic submission process, the contact point provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern), with support available via support@grants.gov.
