Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPT 16 001
This funding opportunity, titled "Announcement of Availability of Funds for a Training and Technical Assistance Project to Support the Title X Family Planning Program" (Funding Opportunity Number PA FPT 16 001), is a discretionary health grant offered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health under CFDA 93.260. It will be awarded as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal program office expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The announcement was created on January 6, 2016, with an original application closing date of April 11, 2016. The program anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000.
The core purpose of the award is to fund a single national training and technical assistance center called the Family Planning National Training Center for Service Delivery Improvement (FPNTC-SDI). The center is meant to strengthen and sustain the delivery of high-quality family planning services within the Title X program. In practical terms, the funded organization would function as a national hub that helps Title X-funded service sites improve how they deliver care, maintain strong clinical practices over time, and translate evidence-based recommendations into consistent day-to-day operations.
The opportunity sits within the broader goals of the Office of Population Affairs (OPA), which aims to improve reproductive health outcomes for men, women, and adolescents. Those outcomes are framed in several concrete public health objectives: reducing teen and unintended pregnancies, supporting healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies, lowering rates of sexually transmitted diseases, and improving birth outcomes. The FPNTC-SDI is positioned as a key support mechanism for those aims, not by directly providing clinical services, but by helping Title X providers deliver better services more consistently across different settings and communities.
A central reference point for what counts as "quality" in this program is the clinical guidance titled Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP). This guidance was developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and OPA and published in the CDCs Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) in April 2014. The QFP recommendations define family planning services broadly as services that help individuals and couples achieve their desired number and spacing of healthy children. That includes contraceptive services; pregnancy testing and counseling; services that help clients achieve pregnancy; basic infertility services; and STD and other preconception health services. By grounding the training and technical assistance effort in QFP, the announcement signals that the national center should focus on supporting providers in applying these established recommendations, strengthening clinical workflows, and improving service delivery systems that affect access, quality, and outcomes.
Eligibility is broad, but with specific boundaries. Any public or private nonprofit entity located within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories and freely associated states may apply. The eligible locations listed include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Faith-based organizations are explicitly eligible, as are American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native American (AI/AN/NA) organizations. Private nonprofit applicants must be able to provide proof of nonprofit status, which is a typical federal requirement for awards restricted to nonprofit entities.
Overall, this is a single, relatively large national award designed to build capacity across the Title X network through training and technical assistance focused on service delivery improvement. The federal government is investing in an organization that can operationalize the QFP quality framework nationwide, help clinics and programs refine their clinical and administrative practices, and ultimately support measurable improvements in reproductive health outcomes aligned with OPA priorities.Apply for PA FPT 16 001
