Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 17 010
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, announced a discretionary Title X funding opportunity to support a single statewide family planning services project covering the entire state of Utah. The opportunity is listed as "Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants (Utah entire state)" under Funding Opportunity Number PA FPH 17 010 and CFDA 93.217. It was created on October 7, 2016, with an original application closing date of March 1, 2017. The program is structured as a grant award, with an anticipated total award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an expectation of one award to cover the full service area.
At its core, the grant is meant to establish and operate voluntary family planning services projects that are open to anyone seeking services, while explicitly prioritizing people from low-income families. This reflects the central Title X purpose: ensuring broad access to high-quality family planning care and related preventive health services, particularly for communities that face financial barriers to care. The project is expected to serve the full geographic area identified (Utah statewide), which implies that applicants need to demonstrate an ability to reach diverse populations across urban and rural areas and to maintain a service delivery network that is realistically accessible to the people who need it most.
Applicants are expected to provide, directly or through a managed network, a comprehensive set of family planning services. These services include clinical family planning services and related preventive health services, as well as information, education, and counseling tied to family planning. The program also anticipates referral services when indicated, meaning the project should have clear pathways for referring clients to additional care that may fall outside direct Title X service delivery, while still ensuring continuity and appropriate follow-up where possible.
A key feature of this announcement is how it treats service provision models. Local and regional public or private nonprofit entities are allowed to apply directly to the Secretary for Title X funding under this announcement. However, proposals that rely heavily on other entities (such as subcontractors or partner clinics) are reviewed with particular attention to whether the applicant can still credibly ensure the required services are delivered and whether the model will best serve individuals in need across the entire service area. In practical terms, applicants need to show they are not simply a pass-through; they must demonstrate governance, oversight capacity, and a well-supported plan for ensuring consistent quality, compliance, and coverage statewide.
If an applicant does not plan to deliver all services itself and intends to subaward portions of the work, the announcement requires additional documentation. Specifically, the applicant must spell out the process and selection criteria it will use to provide qualified entities an opportunity to receive subawards, and those entities must be eligible to receive federal funds. This requirement is meant to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in building out a provider network, and it signals that reviewers will look closely at how the applicant will select, monitor, and coordinate subrecipients to meet the needs of project beneficiaries throughout Utah.
The announcement also emphasizes that applications should be grounded in the established Title X framework rather than reinventing program expectations from scratch. Applicants are directed to use the Title X statute, applicable regulations, legislative mandates, the current Program Guidelines (issued in 2014), and Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices, along with any program priorities and key issues included in the announcement itself. This effectively sets the compliance and program design baseline: successful applications should demonstrate clear alignment with federal Title X rules, service standards, and policy guidance, and should translate those requirements into an operational plan that can be implemented statewide.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad, reflecting the range of entities that may be capable of running a statewide public health services program. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; 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 where specified). This wide eligibility range allows either a public-sector lead agency, a nonprofit health provider network, or another qualified nonprofit or academic institution to serve as the statewide grantee, as long as it can meet Title X requirements and demonstrate the capacity to deliver or oversee required services across Utah.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to fund a single statewide Title X project in Utah that can provide accessible, voluntary family planning and related preventive health services, prioritize low-income clients, and operate within the established federal Title X policy and regulatory environment. Applications are expected to show both service delivery competence and administrative oversight strength, particularly if the applicant proposes a network model with subawards, since the federal government will weigh how effectively the applicant can ensure consistent, compliant services throughout the entire state.Apply for PA FPH 17 010
