Opportunity Summary:

The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 3 Pennsylvania is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under the Title X Family Planning Services program (CFDA 93.217). It is intended to fund one organization to establish and operate a voluntary family planning services project covering Pennsylvania statewide, specifically excluding Philadelphia and Central Pennsylvania. The overall purpose is to make high-quality family planning and related preventive health services available to anyone seeking them, while giving priority to individuals from low-income families, consistent with Title X statutory requirements.

Eligible applicants are public or private nonprofit entities, with the Title X statute allowing local and regional organizations to apply directly to the Secretary. The announcement also signals that applicants may deliver services through networks or partnerships; however, if an applicant proposes to rely on other entities to provide services, the federal review will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting and engaging qualified partners. In practical terms, applications are expected to demonstrate that the proposed service network will consider all capable, eligible providers that can receive federal funds and that this network design will best reach and serve people across the full anticipated service area.

The services to be supported are the core components of Title X family planning projects. This includes clinical family planning services and related preventive health services, as well as education and counseling related to family planning. It also includes referral services when indicated, recognizing that some client needs may require services outside the immediate project scope. Applicants are instructed to shape their program design and service model using the Title X statute, relevant federal regulations and legislative mandates, and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program guidance and policy framework. Specifically referenced are the current Program Guidelines issued in 2014, OPA Program Policy Notices, stated program priorities, and other key issues described in the full announcement and application package. This means applicants are expected to align clinical practices, client protections, service delivery standards, and program administration with established Title X requirements rather than treating the grant as a general health services award.

From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a grant with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The total anticipated award amount is fixed: the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $5,432,000, indicating a single award at that level rather than a range of possible funding amounts. The federal agency associated with the announcement is the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, and the opportunity is categorized under Health.

Key dates included in the posting show it was posted on September 8, 2014 (with a creation date of September 10, 2014), and the application closing date was April 1, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on May 1, 2015. For applicants needing help accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the listed support channel is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
