FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants Region 3 West Virginia (entire state) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 3 covers the entire state of West Virginia and is a federal discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PA FPH 15 008) under CFDA 93.217, Family Planning Services. The program is administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and is rooted in the Title X family planning statute. The core purpose is to fund one organization to establish and operate a voluntary family planning project that offers services to anyone who wants them, while giving priority to individuals from low-income families. In practice, this means the funded project is expected to run or oversee a statewide network or system of care that makes family planning and related preventive health services accessible throughout West Virginia.

The opportunity is open to a broad range of applicants, specifically any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory. The announcement explicitly notes that, even if a state entity applies, local and regional public or private nonprofit organizations may also apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also eligible. This framing is meant to ensure that the award can go to the organization best positioned to deliver services effectively, rather than limiting eligibility to a single type of government agency.

The expected award structure is straightforward: one award is anticipated for West Virginia, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $2,310,000, indicating the planned funding level for the single grantee. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, although they may still propose leveraging other resources if that strengthens service delivery.

Funded activities center on comprehensive family planning services as defined under Title X. These include clinical family planning services and related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling related to family planning. The project must also provide referral services when appropriate, recognizing that clients may need care beyond what the Title X service site directly provides. The emphasis on being voluntary is important: services must be offered without coercion and must be available to all persons desiring services, with a programmatic priority placed on meeting the needs of low-income populations.

The announcement also addresses how applicants may structure service delivery. Applicants can propose to directly provide services and/or rely on subrecipients or partner entities to deliver care. However, when an application proposes to rely on other entities, funding decisions will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting and working with all qualified providers that are eligible to receive federal funds. In other words, the federal review looks for a fair and comprehensive approach to building a service network that can reach people in need across the full anticipated service area, rather than restricting participation without justification.

Applicants are instructed to build their proposals around the governing legal and policy framework for Title X. That includes the Title X legislation, applicable regulations, legislative mandates, and the current Title X Program Guidelines (issued in 2014), as well as Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, program priorities, and other key issues identified in the announcement and application package. The intent is that proposed projects align with established Title X expectations for service quality, access, counseling and education, and appropriate referral practices.

Key dates listed for this funding opportunity show it was posted on September 8, 2014, with an application closing date of December 31, 2014, and an archive date of January 30, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full announcement for exact submission requirements, including specific deadlines and times.
