Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 17 020
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, announced a discretionary Title X funding opportunity (PA FPH 17 020) to support a single family planning services project covering the entire territory of Guam. The grant is intended to help establish and operate a voluntary family planning program that makes services available to anyone who wants them, while placing particular emphasis on reaching people from low-income families. In practical terms, the program is meant to improve access to essential family planning and related preventive health care across the full service area, not just in select communities.
This opportunity is rooted in the Title X statute, which allows local and regional public or private nonprofit organizations to apply directly to the Secretary for funding. The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, and special districts), public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for the nonprofit categories). The key point is that the applicant must be capable of running a territory-wide project that can reliably deliver the required services to the people who need them most.
The grant focuses on the delivery of Title X family planning services, which includes clinical family planning and related preventive health services, along with education, information, and counseling tied to family planning. It also includes referral services when appropriate, recognizing that some client needs may require connections to additional medical or supportive resources. The services are explicitly described as voluntary, and the program design is expected to support access and informed decision-making for clients seeking care.
A major evaluation consideration highlighted in the announcement is how the applicant plans to deliver services throughout Guam, especially if the applicant intends to rely on partner organizations or subcontractors to provide some portion of care. Applications that propose a network model (rather than delivering all services directly) are not ruled out, but funding decisions will weigh how convincingly the applicant demonstrates that it can still meet Title X requirements and best serve individuals across the entire territory. If an applicant will not provide every service directly, the announcement requires the applicant to clearly document how it will award subawards, including the process it will use and the selection criteria for choosing qualified entities that are eligible to receive federal funds. In other words, applicants need to show not only who might deliver services, but also how they will ensure fair, compliant, and needs-based selection of service providers and how the overall network will function to meet beneficiary needs.
Applicants are directed to use the governing legal and policy framework to shape their proposals. That framework includes Title X legislation, applicable regulations and legislative mandates, the Title X Program Guidelines issued in 2014, and Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, along with program priorities and other issues identified in the announcement. This signals that proposals are expected to align with established Title X standards for service delivery, quality, access, and program administration, rather than inventing a local approach that conflicts with federal expectations.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on October 7, 2016, with an original closing date of March 1, 2017. The CFDA program number listed is 93.217, and the funding instrument is a grant. The announcement anticipates one award for Guam, with an award ceiling of $148,000, reflecting a single-territory project intended to cover the full service area rather than multiple smaller awards.Apply for PA FPH 17 020
