Opportunity Summary:

The FY14 Announcement of Availability of Funds for Family Planning Research and Data Analysis Cooperative Agreements (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPR 14 001) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity in the health category administered under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, through the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). It is designed to fund applied research and analytic work that can help the Title X family planning network better understand changes in the family planning landscape and use that information to improve how services are delivered. Rather than focusing on small, local demonstrations, the emphasis is on data collection and analysis that has broad generalizability across family planning centers throughout the United States and its eligible jurisdictions, so the findings can inform system-wide practices and decision-making.

The funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal government and the award recipient than a standard grant. In practice, this typically means the agency expects to be involved in key aspects of the project (for example, coordination, technical input, or alignment with program priorities), while the recipient carries out the core research, data collection, and analysis activities. The FOA anticipates making 2 awards, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $200,000 to a ceiling of $400,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations to participate and allows proposed projects to be built around the federal budget without requiring non-federal contributions.

Eligible applicants include any public entity or private nonprofit organization located in a state or eligible territory or freely associated state listed in the announcement. The eligible geography is broad and explicitly includes the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The eligibility language also makes clear that faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are welcome to apply. Private nonprofit applicants must be able to document their nonprofit status using acceptable proof described in the FOA (referenced as Section IV.2 in the opportunity materials).

From a program purpose standpoint, the central goal is to strengthen the evidence base for family planning service delivery under Title X of the Public Health Service Act. The FOA encourages projects that examine selected topic areas in family planning, with a strong preference for work that produces actionable insights about how care is being delivered, how client needs and service environments are changing, and what data show about performance, access, quality, or other service delivery improvement questions relevant to Title X-funded settings. The expectation is that resulting findings will be useful beyond a single clinic or region and will help inform improvements across the broader network.

Key administrative details include the posting and creation date of February 19, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2014, and an archive date of May 14, 2014. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.974, identified as Family Planning Service Delivery Improvement Research Grants. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for specific application submission requirements, including the exact dates and times for submission. For technical issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, available 24/7 except federal holidays) and support@grants.gov.
