FY14 Region 5 Michigan (entire state)Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY14 Region 5 Michigan (entire state) Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 14 008) is a federal discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 93.217, focused on supporting Title X family planning services across the entire state of Michigan. The announcement was released by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and was issued in anticipation of FY 2014 appropriations, meaning awards depend on Congress providing the funding and the program operating under all requirements set out in the applicable appropriations law and other controlling authorities.

At its core, the grant is intended to fund projects that establish and operate voluntary family planning service programs. These projects must make services available to anyone seeking them, while giving priority to people from low-income families. The services supported under this opportunity are not limited to contraception; they broadly include clinical family planning care and related preventive health services, along with education, information, and counseling connected to family planning. The program also supports referrals when medically or otherwise indicated, which is an important part of ensuring clients can access additional care beyond what a single clinic or provider directly offers.

Eligibility is intentionally broad, which is meant to encourage competition and allow the best-positioned organizations to serve communities effectively. Any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory (including the District of Columbia and several U.S. affiliated jurisdictions) may apply. Importantly, even if a state government historically applied for and managed statewide Title X funding, that history is not supposed to discourage local and regional organizations from applying directly to the Secretary for their own awards. The announcement explicitly notes that local and regional public or private nonprofit entities may apply, and it also makes clear that faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are eligible applicants.

A notable feature of the announcement is how it treats applicants that plan to deliver services through partner organizations or subcontracted networks rather than providing everything directly. If an application proposes relying on other entities to provide services, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant plans to be in selecting and working with qualified service providers. In other words, applicants are expected to demonstrate that they will consider all entities eligible to receive federal funds and build a service delivery approach that best meets the needs of individuals across the proposed service area, rather than limiting partnerships in a way that could reduce access or exclude capable providers.

Applicants are instructed to develop their proposals in alignment with the Title X statute, relevant federal regulations, program guidelines, legislative mandates, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Instructions, and other priorities and key issues described in the full announcement and application kit. This signals that successful applications are expected to show strong compliance planning (programmatic and administrative), a clear service model, and an approach that reflects established Title X standards for service delivery, client-centered counseling, and access for low-income populations.

From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted on July 30, 2013, with an application closing date of December 31, 2013, and an archive date of January 30, 2014. The listing indicates an expected 22 awards. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as $7,627,610, which suggests a standardized funding level for this particular statewide Michigan service area under the Region 5 structure for that cycle (though the practical meaning for applicants would be clarified in the full announcement and award structure). Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to plan for meeting that requirement through allowable sources and document it according to the program rules.

For technical help obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays, and it also emphasizes that applicants should refer to the full grant announcement for specific submission requirements, deadlines, and timing details.
