Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for One Family Planning Clinical Training Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number PA-FPT-15-001) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity focused on strengthening the clinical quality of Title X family planning services nationwide. It is administered through the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The central aim is to fund a single national clinical training center that can improve the skills, knowledge, and professional readiness of health care practitioners working in Title X-funded service projects, with the broader goal of ensuring that family planning care and program operations are consistently high quality.
This opportunity builds on decades of prior Title X training investments. Historically, OPA supported certificate programs in family planning and women's health nurse practitioner training from the early 1970s through 2000 to maintain a workforce with specialized expertise for Title X clinics. In 2000, Title X shifted to clinical specialty training programs emphasizing hands-on clinical competence for delivering high-quality family planning services. Then, in 2006, OPA funded a clinical training cooperative agreement that supported preceptor training and a biannual reproductive health conference. The FY15 announcement continues that progression by seeking a new, updated clinical training program that incorporates current evidence, best practices, and national standards, while serving Title X providers across the country.
The funded organization would be expected to establish and operate a Title X family planning clinical training center that delivers training and technical assistance designed to improve the quality of clinical care. A key requirement is that all training be grounded in evidence-based principles and incorporate best practices and/or evidence-informed practices. The awardee must also integrate applicable elements of the CDC and OPA joint guidelines, Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP), into training design, curriculum development, and training materials as appropriate. Beyond delivering training, the center is expected to stay current with emerging research and standards of care and function as a knowledgeable resource on a broad range of family planning and reproductive health clinical issues, including serving as a support to other Title X training centers.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, which matters because it signals an expectation of substantial federal involvement in the project. The project period can be up to four years. In addition to normal oversight activities (such as working with a federal project officer, participating in calls, potential monitoring visits, and ongoing review of work plans and progress), OPA specifically anticipates an active role in shaping and safeguarding program content. That includes helping the awardee establish and periodically update priorities for grant activities, consulting on the preparation and dissemination of grant-related materials, and reviewing program materials before they are used to ensure they are clinically accurate, complete, and aligned with program expectations.
Only one award was expected under this announcement, with an annual funding range indicated by an award floor of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing is 93.260 (Family Planning Personnel Training). The opportunity was posted on January 16, 2015, with an application closing date of April 10, 2015, and an archive date of May 10, 2015.
Eligibility is broad but limited to public or private nonprofit entities located in a U.S. state or territory (explicitly including locations such as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as several freely associated states listed in the announcement). The notice also clarifies that even where a state applies for a family planning services grant, local and regional entities may apply directly. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are eligible to apply for Title X family planning services grants under this announcement.
