Opportunity Summary:
This FY13 discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 13 045, CFDA 93.217 Family Planning Services) was released by the Office of Population Affairs within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to help Title X family planning providers strengthen their health information technology (HIT) capacity, especially as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) changed coverage, billing, and reporting expectations. The central idea is that sustaining high-quality, primary and preventive reproductive health services for both existing clients and newly insured patients requires modern electronic systems that support clinical care, administrative operations, and financial compliance. The program focuses on helping family planning service sites transition to, or improve, electronic tools that make day-to-day care more efficient, more measurable, and more compatible with broader health care networks.
Grant funds are intended to support practical adoption and implementation work that moves Title X projects toward certified electronic health record (EHR) use and toward federal "meaningful use" objectives tied to the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs. The announcement emphasizes three main purposes: first, adopting and implementing certified EHR technology; second, helping family planning centers meet meaningful use requirements so they can qualify for and access Medicaid and Medicare EHR incentive payments when eligible; and third, using HIT to improve both clinical quality (how care is delivered and documented) and operational quality (how clinics manage workflows, reporting, and revenue). In other words, the funding is not just for buying software or hardware, but for putting systems into real use in ways that improve service delivery, data quality, and compliance.
Applicants are expected to explain how proposed HIT enhancements will lead to concrete improvements in care and clinic operations. The announcement specifically calls out outcomes such as improving the quality of care provided, strengthening the ability to participate in provider networks, expanding third-party billing capability, supporting Medicaid enrollment efforts, and establishing or enhancing electronic medical record/electronic health record (EMR/EHR) systems. The underlying policy goal is to help Title X providers function effectively in a health system that increasingly relies on electronic data exchange, standardized documentation, performance measurement, and payer billing, aligning Title X service delivery with ACA-era expectations.
Eligibility is limited to Title X family planning service grantees that were funded as of June 30, 2013. Local and regional public or private nonprofit entities meeting that condition may apply directly. Sub-recipient agencies cannot apply on their own; they must apply through their Title X grantee. Each Title X grantee is allowed to submit only one application, but that single application may propose activities or products that support multiple service sites and/or multiple sub-recipients within the Title X project. Applications must clearly describe how the funds will be used and identify which agencies or sites within the Title X project will benefit.
The opportunity anticipated up to 100 awards, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $250,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2013, with an application closing date of May 17, 2013, and an archive date of June 16, 2013. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is health.
For access and submission support, the announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov and provides the Grants.gov Contact Center information (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), noting 24/7 availability except federal holidays, and advising applicants to consult the full announcement for detailed submission requirements, deadlines, and timing specifics.
