Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 16 002

The "Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants - New Hampshire (entire State)" is a federal discretionary grant opportunity under Title X (CFDA 93.217) intended to fund organizations that will run voluntary family planning projects across the entire state of New Hampshire. The core purpose is to make family planning services available to anyone who wants them, while giving clear service priority to people from low-income families. In practice, this means supporting a statewide network or program that can deliver accessible, client-centered family planning care and related preventive health support, with special attention to reaching communities that face financial or geographic barriers to care.

Applicants are expected to establish and operate a comprehensive family planning services project. The announcement describes family planning services broadly, including clinical family planning and related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling connected to family planning, plus referrals when appropriate. The expectation is not just direct clinical services, but also the supporting education and counseling that helps people make informed decisions and navigate additional care when needed. Applicants are told to design their programs in alignment with the Title X statute and applicable regulations, legislative mandates, the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) program priorities, OPA Program Policy Notices, and the Title X Program Guidelines (noted here as the 2014 guidelines). In other words, proposals need to demonstrate that the program will be operated according to the established federal framework for Title X projects, not as an informal or ad hoc service model.

A key feature of this opportunity is that both statewide and local or regional nonprofit and public entities can apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding. The announcement explicitly notes that even if a state applies, local and regional entities still have the option to apply directly as well. Eligibility is broad: any public or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory (as defined in the notice, including Washington, DC and several U.S. territories and freely associated states) may apply. The opportunity also explicitly confirms eligibility for faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations. This wide eligibility is meant to encourage a strong pool of applicants with different service models and community ties, as long as they can meet Title X requirements and effectively serve people across the intended service area.

The funding approach allows for different delivery structures, but it puts weight on demonstrated capacity. Applicants can propose to provide services directly, or they can propose a model that relies partly on other entities (for example, a lead organization coordinating a network of clinics and partners). However, if an application depends on other organizations to deliver services, the funding decision will consider how well the applicant shows it can still ensure the required services are provided and that the overall project will best serve individuals in need across New Hampshire. For applicants that do not plan to provide all services themselves, there is an additional accountability step: they must document the process they will use to create opportunities for subawards to qualified entities that are eligible to receive federal funds. This is essentially a requirement to show how the applicant will competitively and transparently build out a service network through subrecipients, so that services are available throughout the state and aligned to the needs of project beneficiaries.

Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The funding instrument is a grant, and it is categorized under the health funding activity area. The opportunity number is PA FPH 16 002, and the original application closing date listed is January 11, 2016. The listed award ceiling for this New Hampshire statewide opportunity is $1,486,000. The notice also lists "ExpectedAwards: 35," which reflects the broader funding opportunity context rather than implying New Hampshire alone would receive that many separate awards; the specific title and description indicate this particular posting targets a statewide service area (New Hampshire), typically aligning with a single statewide grant or a lead grantee structure depending on how the program is configured.

Overall, this grant is aimed at selecting a capable public or nonprofit organization (or a lead organization coordinating qualified partners) that can run a compliant Title X project for the entire state, maintain focus on low-income individuals as a priority population, and deliver a full package of family planning-related clinical services, education, counseling, and referrals under the established Title X rules and guidance.
