Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPT 16 002
This funding opportunity (PA FPT 16 002, CFDA 93.260) announces a single cooperative agreement to establish and operate a Family Planning National Training Center for Service Delivery Improvement (FPNTC-SDI) in support of the federal Title X Family Planning Program. The project is overseen by the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The basic idea is to build a national training and technical assistance hub that helps Title X-funded family planning providers consistently deliver high-quality, evidence-based care across a very large nationwide service network.
The public health purpose behind the award is tied to OPA's broader mission to improve reproductive health outcomes for men, women, and adolescents. The announcement emphasizes reducing teen and unplanned pregnancies, supporting healthy and optimal spacing between births, lowering rates of sexually transmitted diseases, and improving birth outcomes. The training center is positioned as a practical way to move those goals forward by strengthening day-to-day service delivery in clinics and programs that provide family planning services to millions of people each year.
A central feature of the opportunity is the expectation that training content and technical assistance will be grounded in the national clinical recommendations called Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP), issued jointly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and OPA and published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) in April 2014. In this context, "family planning services" is defined broadly, not just contraception. QFP includes contraceptive services, pregnancy testing and counseling, services to help clients achieve pregnancy, basic infertility services, STD-related services, and other preconception health services. The funded center is therefore meant to support comprehensive, client-centered care that fits within these established clinical standards.
The immediate, practical objective of FPNTC-SDI is workforce-focused: ensuring that staff working in Title X service projects have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to deliver high-quality family planning services. At the same time, the announcement is clear that training is not meant to exist in a vacuum. Training and more intensive technical assistance are expected to align with broader efforts to strengthen the health care systems around Title X providers, so that quality improvements are sustainable over time and the service network can adapt as the health care environment changes (for example, shifts in payment systems, evolving clinical guidance, or new service delivery models).
The main audience for the training and technical assistance is the national community of Title X service grantees, described here as roughly 90 grantees operating a network of more than 4,100 service sites that collectively serve about 4.1 million clients each year. Because many Title X grantees operate through sub-recipient agencies that manage multiple sites, the center may also work directly with sub-recipients and individual service sites when that is the most effective way to support improvements and reinforce the grantee's overall performance and service quality.
Although the materials and support produced under this award are intended primarily for Title X-funded providers, the announcement also notes that the tools and training products could be useful beyond Title X. In particular, they may have value for other family planning and reproductive health providers, including those in primary care settings, as long as their work supports OPA's overall reproductive health goals.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary health funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically signals substantial federal involvement during project implementation (for example, collaboration on workplans, priorities, or deliverables). The announcement lists an award ceiling of $4,000,000 and anticipates making one award. The original application closing date was July 18, 2016, and the opportunity was created May 18, 2016.
Eligibility is broad but limited to public or private nonprofit entities located in the United States and specified U.S. jurisdictions and affiliated areas, including the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, 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 and American Indian/Alaskan Native/Native American organizations are explicitly eligible to apply. Private nonprofit applicants must be able to document their nonprofit status as part of the application process.
Overall, the grant is essentially a national capacity-building investment: one organization is funded to act as the go-to training and technical assistance center focused on service delivery improvement for Title X, using QFP as the clinical backbone, with the intent of raising and sustaining the quality and consistency of family planning services across thousands of sites serving millions of clients.Apply for PA FPT 16 002
