Opportunity Summary:
The FY13 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for the Adoption and Implementation of Health Information Technology in Family Planning Services Grants (Region 9) is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PA FPH 13 050) administered under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health through the Office of Population Affairs. It was created and posted on April 10, 2013, with an application closing date of May 17, 2013, and an archive date of June 16, 2013. The program sits under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services) and is designed to strengthen the ability of Title X family planning providers to continue delivering high-quality, primary and preventive reproductive health care as the health coverage landscape changes under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The core purpose of the funding is to help Title X family planning service sites adopt and implement modern health information technology (HIT), with a strong emphasis on certified electronic health record (EHR) technology and the capacity to meet federal "meaningful use" expectations. The announcement reflects the idea that maintaining quality and continuity of care for both existing clients and newly insured individuals depends heavily on having robust electronic systems that support clinical care, reporting, billing, and broader operational needs. In practice, the grant is meant to help clinics move away from outdated or fragmented systems and toward up-to-date electronic tools that improve clinical workflows and support compliance with administrative and financial requirements.
The opportunity identifies three main categories of supported work. First, funds may be used to adopt and implement certified EHR technology, including establishing or enhancing electronic medical/health record (EMR/EHR) systems across family planning service sites. Second, funds are intended to help family planning centers meet meaningful use requirements and position themselves to access incentive payments available through the Medicaid and Medicare EHR Incentive Programs. Third, the funding aims to advance clinical and operational quality improvement efforts through the practical use of HIT, meaning applicants should connect the technology upgrades to measurable improvements in how services are delivered and managed.
Applications are expected to explain how proposed HIT enhancements will lead to real-world benefits tied to ACA-era expectations and participation in modern health care systems. The announcement specifically calls for applicants to address how technology investments will increase quality of care, strengthen the organization or its sites in participating in provider networks, expand third-party billing capability, assist with Medicaid enrollment activities, and generally increase access and quality while improving the business and administrative capacity required to operate in a more insurance-driven environment. The underlying rationale is that better HIT systems can improve access to care and quality of care while also enabling billing and reimbursement processes that help sustain and expand family planning and related preventive health services.
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 that meet that Title X grantee status may apply directly. Subrecipient agencies cannot apply on their own; they must apply through their Title X grantee. The announcement also limits submissions to one application per Title X grantee, though that single application may cover multiple sites and may include activities or products that benefit multiple subrecipients and/or service locations. Each application must clearly describe how the requested funds will be used and identify which agencies or service sites within the Title X project will be supported.
The program anticipated a large number of awards (expected awards: 100), with funding amounts ranging from a floor of $20,000 to a ceiling of $250,000 per award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health.
For logistical support, the announcement directs applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically to contact the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays, and applicants are advised to refer to the full grant announcement for detailed submission requirements, dates, and times.
