Opportunity Summary:

The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 3 covers the entire state of Delaware and is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services). Issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health under the Title X program, the opportunity funds a single awardee to establish and operate a voluntary family planning services project intended to serve anyone seeking family planning services, while giving priority to individuals from low-income families. The program emphasizes broad, equitable access to care and expects applicants to build a service delivery approach that can reach people across the full anticipated service area in Delaware.

The funded project is expected to provide a comprehensive set of Title X family planning services. These services include clinical family planning care and related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling tied to family planning needs. The project should also provide referral services when indicated, meaning clients should be connected to additional medical or supportive services outside the project when those needs arise. Applicants are expected to design their proposed activities in line with the Title X statute, applicable federal regulations and legislative mandates, the 2014 Program Guidelines, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, and the specific program priorities and issues described in the announcement and application package.

Eligibility is broad but limited to public or private nonprofit entities. Any eligible public or private nonprofit located in a state or U.S. territory (including, among others, the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and several Pacific jurisdictions listed in the notice) may apply. The announcement also reinforces that, even if a state government applies, local and regional public or private nonprofit organizations may apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are explicitly eligible, reflecting the program's intent to allow a wide range of community-based and mission-driven providers to compete as long as they meet Title X requirements.

A key competitive consideration described in the notice involves how applicants structure service delivery, especially when proposing to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to provide care. If an application depends on other entities for service provision, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant is in assessing and engaging all capable entities that can provide the required services and are eligible to receive federal funds. In practical terms, applicants are encouraged to demonstrate that their network design is open, competitive, and driven by the goal of best serving individuals in need across Delaware, rather than limiting service delivery to a narrow set of partners without justification.

Funding details are very specific. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling and floor both listed at $1,124,000, indicating the anticipated total annual award amount for this Delaware service area. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, though they still must meet all programmatic and fiscal accountability expectations typical of federal grants.

Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on September 8, 2014 (created September 9, 2014), with an application closing date of December 31, 2014, and an archive date of January 30, 2015. Applicants were instructed to follow the full announcement for submission requirements and for precise deadlines and times, which is standard for Grants.gov postings where timing and formatting rules can affect application validity. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the Grants.gov Contact Center was listed as the support channel (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), operating 24/7 except federal holidays.

In short, this opportunity offered Delaware-wide Title X funding to a single nonprofit or public entity capable of operating a statewide family planning project that delivers clinical services, education and counseling, and appropriate referrals, with a clear priority on serving low-income individuals and a strong expectation of compliance with Title X rules and OPA guidance.
