Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 14 034, is a discretionary federal grant competition for Title X Family Planning Services covering Region 6 in Louisiana (the entire state). It was posted on October 24, 2013, with an application deadline of April 1, 2014, and an archive date of May 1, 2014. The announcement was issued in anticipation of FY 2014 appropriations, meaning awards would depend on Congress appropriating funds and on compliance with any conditions included in the final appropriations law.

The purpose of the grant is to support the establishment and operation of voluntary family planning services projects. Funded projects are expected to provide family planning services to anyone who seeks them, while giving priority to individuals from low-income families. The scope of services is broad and reflects standard Title X expectations: clinical family planning services along with related preventive health services, plus information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. Where appropriate, programs should also provide referrals for additional services beyond what the project directly offers.

Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or eligible territory (including the District of Columbia and several U.S.-affiliated jurisdictions listed in the notice). The announcement emphasizes that local and regional entities are explicitly allowed to apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X grant, even in places where a state government has historically been the applicant. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also eligible to apply, reinforcing that the competition is open to a wide range of nonprofit and public entities capable of delivering services.

A key program design point in the notice is how applicants plan to deliver services across the service area. If an applicant proposes to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to provide services, the application will be evaluated in part on whether the applicant is inclusive and open to working with all entities that are eligible to receive federal funds, with the goal of best serving people in need throughout Louisiana. In other words, reviewers will look at whether the proposed network is comprehensive and non-exclusionary in a way that supports statewide access.

Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling and an award floor of $4,745,826, indicating an anticipated award amount at that level for this particular service area, although the announcement also notes it is subject to appropriations and legislative requirements. The opportunity references CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services) and indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to meet whatever matching expectations are described in the full announcement and application kit.

The administering agency is the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. Applicants are instructed to use the Title X statute, applicable regulations, program guidelines, legislative mandates, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program instructions, and program priorities to shape their proposals. For application submission logistics or trouble accessing the announcement, the notice directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays.
