Opportunity Summary:
The Title X Family Planning Services Grants opportunity is a federal discretionary grant competition run by the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It anticipates funding for Fiscal Year 2027 under Title X of the Public Health Service Act, Section 1001 (42 U.S.C. 300 et seq.). The program supports voluntary family planning projects that deliver a broad range of acceptable and effective family planning methods and related services, including natural family planning methods, infertility-related services, and services for adolescents. The overall purpose is to expand access to high-quality family planning and associated preventive and clinical services, especially for low-income and uninsured populations, while strengthening health literacy so clients can make informed decisions across the reproductive lifespan.
Geographically, applicants may propose projects that provide Title X services across all 50 states and several U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions, including the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, U.S. outlying islands (such as Midway and Wake), and the Freely Associated States (the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau). OPA expects a broad, competitive field of applicants and aims to fund a diverse network of public and private nonprofit entities that can operate Title X projects in these areas.
Funding is projected at up to approximately $257 million total for up to 90 awards, with a project period of up to five years. The final amount available depends on enactment of the FY 2027 federal budget. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $22,000,000. The funding opportunity number is PA FPH 27 001, the CFDA (Assistance Listing) number is 93.217, and the application closing date is January 9, 2027.
The scope of supported services is intentionally broad and centered on comprehensive family planning and related preventive health care. Funded projects may include pregnancy testing and counseling, basic infertility services, and sexually transmitted infection services, including HIV prevention education, counseling, testing, and referral. The announcement also emphasizes preconception health services and reproductive goals counseling designed to improve health outcomes by helping clients clarify their reproductive intentions and take practical steps that support those goals. A notable focus throughout the notice is “health literacy” and “body literacy,” framed as education and counseling that help people understand reproductive physiology, recognize symptoms that may signal underlying conditions, and seek evaluation and treatment earlier rather than normalizing or minimizing symptoms. The notice uses endometriosis as a clear example of a condition that is often underdiagnosed and suggests that better counseling and symptom awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes.
OPA also highlights addressing health conditions that affect fertility and reproductive functioning, and it explicitly names examples for both women and men. For women, the notice references endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and uterine fibroids; for men, it mentions issues such as low sperm count, low sperm motility, low testosterone, and erectile dysfunction. While Title X projects are positioned as family planning providers, the opportunity underscores the role these projects can play in screening, education, basic evaluation, counseling, and referral pathways that connect clients to appropriate care for these conditions. In this way, the grants are presented not only as a contraception-access program, but also as a platform for earlier identification of reproductive health concerns and improved navigation of the health system.
In terms of program direction, OPA signals interest in innovative strategies that address chronic disease and reduce “overmedicalization” by strengthening approaches that focus on underlying behavioral and lifestyle factors and by using evidence-based practices. The notice specifically points to fertility-awareness based methods, along with efforts to advance health and body literacy, expand reproductive goals counseling for all clients, and support family formation for those who desire pregnancy. This is framed as consistent with broader HHS priorities around addressing root causes of chronic illness and supporting healthy pregnancies and stronger family and community well-being.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of governmental and nonprofit entities as well as higher education institutions. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). This mix is designed to allow health departments, community-based organizations, clinic networks, universities, and tribal entities to compete, often reflecting how Title X services are delivered through varied local and regional provider systems.
Finally, the notice stresses compliance: all funded activities must follow the Title X statute, applicable regulations, and legislative mandates. Applicants are expected to design services and project operations that align with these requirements, and the announcement points applicants to OPA’s website for the governing statute, regulations, and mandates.
