Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Region 3 Pennsylvania (Central) Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 14 003) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services). It was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health in anticipation of FY 2014 appropriations, meaning awards depend on Congress funding the program and on any legislative conditions contained in the final appropriations law. The program is part of Title X and is focused on establishing and operating voluntary family planning service projects in central Pennsylvania within HHS Region 3.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund projects that provide family planning services to anyone who wants them, while giving priority to people from low income families. The announcement emphasizes that services are voluntary and that programs should be designed to reach individuals with the greatest need. Funded projects are expected to deliver clinical family planning services and related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. Where appropriate, projects should also provide referral services to ensure clients can access additional care not directly provided by the project.
Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory (including Washington, DC and several U.S. affiliated jurisdictions listed in the notice). The announcement makes a point of encouraging local and regional entities to apply directly to the Secretary, even in places where statewide entities have historically been the primary applicants. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are explicitly eligible as well. In practical terms, this is meant to widen participation and avoid assuming that only statewide agencies can or should run Title X service networks in the region.
A notable program design expectation involves how applicants propose to deliver services across the anticipated service area. If an applicant plans to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to provide services, the review will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting and working with entities that are eligible to receive federal funds. The intent is to promote broad, competitive, and needs-based participation so that the service network is built around what best serves clients throughout the coverage area, rather than limiting services to a narrow set of providers.
Applicants are directed to build their proposals around the full set of Title X requirements and guidance, including the Title X statute, applicable regulations, program guidelines, legislative mandates, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program instructions, and any stated program priorities and key issues referenced in the announcement and application kit. In other words, the application is not just a budget request; it is expected to demonstrate operational readiness and compliance with Title X standards for service delivery, client access, counseling/education, and program administration.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an expected 22 awards. The award ceiling and floor are both stated as $2,801,270, indicating the anticipated funding level for an award under this specific posting. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should be prepared to document the non-federal share or matching approach as required in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2013, with an application closing date of April 1, 2014, and an archive date of May 1, 2014. Submission details, including exact deadlines and technical requirements, were to be followed as laid out in the full grant announcement on Grants.gov.
For access issues or technical help obtaining the announcement, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
