Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 16 017
The "Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants - Minnesota (entire State)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 16 017) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under CFDA 93.217, administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It invites applications to run voluntary Title X family planning projects that serve people across Minnesota who want family planning services, while placing a clear priority on reaching individuals from low-income families. The overall intent is to support a statewide network or program structure capable of delivering accessible, high-quality family planning care and related preventive health services.
Eligible applicants are public and private nonprofit entities, including local and regional organizations that are permitted under the Title X statute to apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding. The opportunity is designed for applicants that can operate a comprehensive program, either by providing services directly or by organizing a service delivery system that includes other partners. If an applicant proposes to rely on other organizations to deliver some or all services, the federal review will consider how convincingly the applicant shows it can still meet all program requirements and effectively serve people throughout the full anticipated service area. In other words, the applicant is expected to demonstrate real capacity and accountability for statewide service coverage, even when services are delivered through partner sites.
For applicants that do not intend to deliver every service component themselves, the announcement emphasizes documentation and transparency around subawards. The applicant must spell out the process it will use to offer opportunities for subawards to qualified entities that are eligible to receive federal funds. This requirement is meant to ensure that service delivery partners are selected through a fair and defensible process and that the overall project can reach communities throughout Minnesota in a way that matches the needs of the people the project is intended to benefit.
The scope of supported services includes clinical family planning services and related preventive health services. It also includes information, education, and counseling connected to family planning, along with referral services when appropriate. The emphasis is not only on clinical care, but also on ensuring clients can access understandable information and counseling and can be referred to other health or supportive services as indicated.
Applicants are instructed to ground their proposals in the full set of governing and guiding authorities for Title X. That includes Title X legislation, applicable federal regulations and legislative mandates, the Title X Program Guidelines (2014), Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, program priorities, and other issues highlighted in the announcement and application materials. Practically, that means an application is expected to show strong alignment with Title X requirements and current policy direction, including how services will be delivered, how quality and compliance will be maintained, and how priority populations (especially low-income clients) will be reached.
Key administrative details included in the listing are an application closing date of 2016-04-01 and a posted award ceiling of $3,201,000. The listing also notes an expected 35 awards. The opportunity was created on 2015-10-23 and uses the standard federal grant funding instrument type.Apply for PA FPH 16 017
