Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 15 026) is a discretionary federal grant announcement from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to support Title X family planning services in Region 9, covering the entire territory of Guam. The program is designed to establish and operate voluntary family planning services projects that are open to anyone seeking services, while giving priority to people from low income families. In practical terms, the grant is meant to ensure there is a reliable, territory-wide system for delivering high quality family planning care and related preventive health services, along with the education and counseling that help individuals make informed decisions about reproductive health.

The scope of services expected under this award aligns with Title X requirements and includes clinical family planning services and related preventive health care, as well as information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. The announcement also emphasizes referral services when appropriate, which typically means linking clients to additional medical or supportive services not directly provided by the project. Applicants are instructed to shape their proposals around the governing framework for Title X, including the Title X statute, applicable regulations and legislative mandates, the current Title X Program Guidelines issued in 2014, relevant Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, and the specific priorities and issues highlighted in the application package and announcement.

Eligibility is broad but limited to public or private nonprofit entities that are located in a U.S. state or territory as defined in the announcement (including Guam and other U.S. territories and freely associated states listed). A key point in the notice is that local and regional public or private nonprofit entities may apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding, even if a state or territorial entity is also applying. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are explicitly eligible as well. For proposals that depend on other organizations to deliver services, the funding decision will consider how inclusive the applicant is in selecting partner entities, focusing on whether the applicant is willing to work with all qualified providers that can deliver required services and can legally receive federal funds, in order to best meet needs across the service area.

The announcement anticipates a single award for Guam, with a total funding level fixed at 290,000 dollars, shown as both the award ceiling and award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.217 (Family Planning Services), and the funding instrument type is a grant within the health funding activity category.

Key dates listed in the opportunity record include a posted date of September 9, 2014, and an application closing date of April 1, 2015 (with the same date shown as the original and current closing date). The archive date is May 1, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full grant announcement for detailed application requirements, including submission instructions and any specific deadlines by time of day. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the notice points applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available around the clock except on federal holidays.
