FY14 Region VI Arkansas Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY14 Region VI Arkansas Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 14 009) 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 would depend on Congress actually providing the funds and on any requirements contained in the final appropriations law. The purpose is to support Title X projects that establish and operate voluntary family planning service programs in Arkansas within HHS Region VI, with an emphasis on ensuring access for people who want family planning services and giving priority to individuals from low-income families.

The program’s core expectation is that funded projects deliver a full set of Title X family planning services. This includes clinical family planning services as well as related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. The announcement also recognizes that referral services may be needed, and applicants are expected to provide referrals as appropriate. In developing proposals, applicants are directed to follow the Title X statute, applicable federal regulations, established Title X program guidelines, legislative mandates, and Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program instructions and priorities, along with the requirements laid out in the application kit for this specific announcement.

Eligibility is broad but limited to public or private nonprofit entities located in a U.S. state or eligible territory (including the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice). A key point is that local and regional organizations are explicitly encouraged to apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funds, even in places where state agencies have historically been the primary applicants. The notice also clarifies that faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are eligible to apply, reinforcing that a wide range of nonprofit providers and public entities can compete for these funds.

The announcement also signals how applications will be viewed when an applicant plans to deliver services through a network or by relying on other entities. In those situations, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting and working with partner organizations, particularly ensuring that the project considers all entities that are eligible to receive federal funds and can help best serve people across the anticipated service area. In practice, that language is aimed at encouraging broad, fair participation in service delivery networks so that coverage and access are maximized rather than restricted to a narrow set of providers.

From an award mechanics standpoint, the opportunity lists an expected 22 awards and includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement (applicants would need to review the full announcement for the specific match rules and how they may be calculated or documented). The posted and creation date were July 30, 2013, with an application closing date of December 1, 2013, and an archive date of December 31, 2013. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of 4,179,185, indicating a single standardized funding level in the summary record, though applicants would still need to consult the full announcement for how funding is distributed across projects, service areas, or specific scopes of work.

For logistics and access, the notice points applicants to Grants.gov for submission details and provides the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) for technical help accessing the announcement or resolving submission issues, with support available 24/7 except federal holidays. The notice also stresses that applicants should follow the announcement for the exact submission requirements, formatting, and timing rules, which can be decisive in whether an application is deemed complete and eligible for review.
