FY14 Region 1 Massachusetts (Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties only)Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This FY 2014 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 14 001) is a discretionary federal grant competition for Title X Family Planning Services in Massachusetts, limited specifically to Region 1 counties: Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden. It was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and released in anticipation of FY 2014 appropriations, meaning awards depend on Congress appropriating funds and on any requirements included in the final appropriations law. The overall purpose is to support the establishment and operation of voluntary family planning service projects that make services available to anyone who wants them, while giving priority to people from low-income families.

Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory (with the notice listing jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories and freely associated states). The announcement emphasizes that local and regional entities are welcome to apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding even if there is a history of statewide applicants receiving these grants. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also explicitly eligible. While the eligibility field is labeled broadly, applicants are expected to fit the public or private nonprofit standard described in the detailed eligibility language.

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 education, counseling, and information related to family planning. The announcement also anticipates that projects will provide referrals when indicated, which is consistent with Title X expectations around connecting clients to additional care as needed. Applicants are instructed to build their proposals around the Title X statute, applicable federal regulations, Title X Program Guidelines, legislative mandates, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Instructions, and other priorities and key issues referenced in the announcement and application kit, since those sources define program requirements, service standards, and compliance expectations.

The notice also addresses how applicants may structure service delivery. Applicants can propose to provide services directly or through other entities, but proposals that rely on third-party providers will be evaluated partly on how inclusive the applicant is in considering all entities eligible to receive federal funds in order to best serve people across the anticipated service area. In practical terms, the government is signaling that collaboration and network design matter, and that applicants should avoid unnecessarily narrow partner selection if it would limit access or coverage.

Key administrative details include a posted date of July 30, 2013, and an application deadline of September 30, 2013 (with the same date shown as both the original and current closing date). The CFDA number is 93.217 (Family Planning Services). The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $1,008,984, indicating the expected award size is fixed at that amount for this opportunity. The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources in an amount and form specified in the full grant guidance. The listing shows an expected number of awards as 22, and applicants are directed to the full announcement for the precise submission instructions, required forms, and any deadlines tied to time zones or Grants.gov validations.

For applicants who cannot access the full announcement online, the notice provides Grants.gov support contact information (phone 1-800-518-4726 and email support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays, reinforcing that applications are expected to be submitted and managed through the Grants.gov system and according to its technical requirements.
