Opportunity Summary:
This FY15 funding opportunity (PA FPH 15 028) is a discretionary federal grant under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services) released by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It covers the entire Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and is intended to support one Title X-funded project that establishes and operates voluntary family planning services. The overall purpose is to make family planning and related preventive health services broadly available to anyone who wants them, while explicitly prioritizing access for individuals from low-income families.
The program’s service expectations are rooted in Title X law and its implementing requirements. Applicants are expected to deliver clinical family planning services along with closely related preventive health services. In practical terms, this includes providing clients with family planning information, education, and counseling, as well as referrals when needed. The announcement also emphasizes that applicants should design their projects using the controlling framework for Title X, including the Title X statute, relevant regulations and legislative mandates, the 2014 Program Guidelines, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, and other priorities and key issues referenced in the notice and application materials. In other words, proposals are not meant to be generic public health applications; they are expected to align with established Title X standards for how services are offered, documented, and delivered.
A notable feature of the announcement is its flexibility regarding who may apply and how services may be organized. Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a qualifying U.S. jurisdiction, which specifically includes CNMI as well as the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and certain freely associated states (Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands). The notice underscores that, even when a state or territory applies, local and regional public or private nonprofits may also apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X grant. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also eligible. This structure is meant to ensure that capable community-based organizations can compete to operate services, not only central government agencies.
For applicants that plan to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to provide some services, the funding decision will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting partners. Specifically, proposals are evaluated in part on whether they demonstrate an open, inclusive approach that considers all eligible entities that can provide required services and can receive federal funds, with the goal of best serving people in need across the full CNMI service area. This signals that a strong application should show thoughtful planning around network design, coverage, and equitable access, rather than limiting service delivery to a narrow set of providers without justification.
Funding details are straightforward and tightly defined. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $180,000, indicating one fixed-size grant rather than a range of possible budgets. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted and created on February 12, 2015, with an application closing date of April 13, 2015, and an archive date of May 13, 2015.
Administrative and support information is minimal in the notice excerpt, but applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays.
