Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 4 covers the entire state of South Carolina and supports the federal Title X Family Planning Services program. The opportunity is intended to fund one organization to establish and operate a statewide, voluntary family planning services project that makes services available to anyone seeking them, while giving priority to individuals from low income families. The overall purpose is to ensure broad, equitable access to clinical family planning and related preventive health services, along with the education, counseling, and referrals that typically accompany comprehensive family planning care.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services). The announcement anticipates a single award, and the funding level is essentially fixed: the award floor and ceiling are both listed as $5,651,000, signaling that the agency expected to make one award at that amount for the service area. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal match as a condition of funding.
Eligible applicants include any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or eligible territory, and the announcement explicitly notes that eligibility extends broadly across governmental and nonprofit sectors. Importantly, the Title X statute allows local and regional public or private nonprofit entities to apply directly to the Secretary even if a state government also applies, which is meant to keep competition open and avoid limiting applications to a single type of entity. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are also eligible to apply, reflecting Title X’s emphasis on serving diverse communities and enabling a variety of organizational structures to compete for funding as long as they meet program requirements.
The project scope centers on delivering family planning services, which the announcement describes as including clinical family planning and related preventive health services, plus information and education, counseling related to family planning, and referral services as indicated. In practice, this language points to comprehensive service delivery rather than a narrow set of clinical visits. Applicants were expected to design a program capable of serving people across the entire anticipated service area (South Carolina statewide), including mechanisms for reaching populations with the greatest need and ensuring that low income clients receive priority for services.
The announcement also signals that applicants may propose service delivery through other entities (such as subrecipients, contractors, or a provider network), but proposals relying on partners would be evaluated partly on how inclusive the applicant is in considering all qualified entities that can provide required services and are eligible for federal funds. This emphasizes building a network based on community need and provider capability, rather than limiting participation to a narrow group. In other words, if an applicant planned to operate through a network, it needed to show a fair, open approach to engaging capable providers to best serve individuals throughout the state.
To shape program design and compliance, applicants were instructed to use the Title X statute, applicable regulations, legislative mandates, the 2014 Title X Program Guidelines, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, and the program priorities and key issues laid out in the announcement and application package. This signals that the grant is not simply funding general health services, but rather a specific, regulated Title X program with defined standards for service delivery, client-centered care, and program administration.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted in early September 2014, with an application closing date of April 1, 2015, and an archive date of May 1, 2015. Applications were submitted through Grants.gov, and the announcement directs applicants needing help accessing the full announcement to contact the Grants.gov Contact Center (available 24/7 except federal holidays). The funding opportunity number is PA-FPH-15-012, and the instrument type is a grant within the health funding activity category.
