Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 17 011

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, announced anticipated funding for a single statewide Title X family planning services grant covering the entire state of Wyoming. This is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: PA FPH 17 011; CFDA: 93.217) intended to support the establishment and operation of a voluntary family planning services project. The core purpose is to ensure that people across Wyoming who want family planning services can access them, with an explicit priority placed on serving individuals from low-income families, consistent with Title X statutory requirements.

The funded project is expected to deliver a comprehensive set of Title X family planning services. These services include clinical family planning care as well as related preventive health services, along with information, education, and counseling tied to family planning. The program also anticipates referral services when appropriate, recognizing that not every clinical or supportive need will necessarily be met within a single site or provider. Applicants are expected to design their service delivery approach around Title X legislation, applicable federal regulations, legislative mandates, and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) guidance, including the Title X Program Guidelines (2014) and OPA Program Policy Notices. In practical terms, the application should show a strong understanding of Title X program expectations and how the proposed project will translate those expectations into accessible, high-quality services statewide.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities, as well as certain educational institutions and tribal entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for the nonprofit categories). Title X statute specifically allows local and regional public or private nonprofit entities to apply directly to the Secretary for these funds, which underscores that the award is not limited only to state-level agencies.

A key element of the announcement is how applicants propose to cover the full anticipated service area (the entire state). Applications that plan to rely on partner organizations or other entities to provide some services will be evaluated partly on how convincingly the applicant demonstrates its ability to ensure required services are actually delivered and that the overall network will best serve people in need statewide. In other words, simply proposing partnerships is not enough; the applicant must show operational control, oversight capacity, and a credible plan for statewide reach, especially for populations with greater need or fewer resources.

If an applicant will not provide all services directly and instead intends to issue subawards or otherwise arrange for services through other qualified providers, the applicant must document the process it will use to select subrecipients. This includes clearly describing the selection criteria and the method by which eligible entities will be given an opportunity to compete for subawards, consistent with federal requirements for entities receiving federal funds. The expectation is that the applicant will have a fair, transparent, and defensible approach to building a provider network that can meet beneficiary needs across Wyoming, rather than an informal or undefined referral structure.

In terms of funding scale and competition, the announcement indicates one expected award with an award ceiling of $872,000. The opportunity was created on October 7, 2016, with an original closing date of December 16, 2016. While those dates reflect the historical application window for this specific announcement, the structure and requirements described provide a clear picture of what HHS sought to fund: a single statewide Title X project capable of delivering voluntary, client-centered family planning services with a strong emphasis on access for low-income individuals, supported by compliant governance, policy alignment, and (where applicable) well-documented subaward and partnership procedures.
