Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 9 covers the entire Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and invites applications to run a Title X-funded family planning services project. The purpose is to establish and operate voluntary family planning services that are open to everyone who wants them, while giving priority to people from low-income families. The program is structured around delivering direct clinical family planning care and connected preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling related to family planning, plus referrals when needed. Applicants are expected to build their proposed project in line with Title X law, relevant federal regulations and mandates, the 2014 Title X Program Guidelines, Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program policy notices, and the specific priorities and issues described in the full announcement and application package.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant under CFDA 93.217 (Family Planning Services) and is administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The funding is designed to support one award for RMI, with a total anticipated amount of $129,000. Both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $129,000, which typically signals that the agency planned a single, set award amount for the selected applicant rather than a range of possible budgets. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this grant, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is broad but specific to nonprofit and public entities. Any public or private nonprofit entity located in a "State" is eligible, and the definition of "State" here is expansive, including not only the 50 U.S. states and Washington, DC, but also several U.S. territories and Freely Associated States, including the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The announcement also highlights that even if a state or territory applies, local and regional public or private nonprofit organizations may still apply directly to the Secretary for a Title X grant. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible, as are American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations. In practice, the agency is signaling that it wants the strongest service-delivery proposal for the service area and is not limiting applications to a single government health department.
A key program expectation is that services be voluntary and accessible, and that the project be designed to effectively reach individuals most in need, especially low-income clients. Applications that plan to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to deliver services are not ruled out, but they will be reviewed with attention to how the applicant chooses and manages those partnerships. The announcement states that funding decisions will consider whether the applicant is inclusive in considering all potential service providers that can deliver the required services and are eligible to receive federal funds. In other words, if the project model depends on a network of clinics or providers, the applicant should demonstrate a fair, practical, and comprehensive approach to assembling that network across the entire anticipated service area, rather than restricting participation without a clear service-based rationale.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on September 9, 2014. The application closing date was April 1, 2015, and the opportunity was archived on May 1, 2015. Applicants were directed to follow the specific submission instructions in the full announcement on Grants.gov, including required forms, formatting, and deadlines (including any time-of-day submission cutoffs). For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed support channel was the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
Overall, this grant was aimed at selecting a single organization to oversee and deliver (directly or through an inclusive provider network) Title X family planning services across the Republic of the Marshall Islands, using the established Title X framework for clinical services, education and counseling, preventive health-related services, and referrals, with a clear emphasis on serving low-income populations.
