Opportunity Information: Apply for PA FPH 22 003
The Funding to Address Dire Need for Family Planning Services opportunity (PA-FPH-22-003) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) through the Office of Population Affairs (OPA). The funding is made available under Section 2605 of the American Rescue Plan of 2021 (Public Law 117-2) and is awarded under the long-standing federal authority of Section 1001 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300), which is the legal foundation for the Title X national family planning program. The overall intent is to strengthen and expand access to evidence-based sexual and reproductive health and family planning services, with a clear emphasis on improving health outcomes for communities that have historically faced disparities in access and care.
The central goal of this grant is to respond to a current and expected surge in demand for Title X family planning services. This includes, but is not limited to, emergency contraception and the broader set of preventive family planning and related health services supported under Title X. A key driver of the increased demand described in the notice is the changing policy landscape in certain states where restrictive laws and policies have reduced access to reproductive health services (the notice points to Texas SB8 as an example). The program is designed to support clients who are seeking services both within those states and outside them, acknowledging that people may travel to obtain care when local access is limited.
The opportunity also targets gaps in the Title X service network itself, particularly in states where Title X support is absent or where local capacity is limited. The notice highlights that some states have no Title X support and others have limited Title X capacity, signaling that applicants proposing to build or restore service availability in underserved areas are aligned with the program purpose. In practical terms, the grants are meant to help providers and systems handle higher patient volumes, maintain continuity of care, and ensure that essential family planning services remain available and reachable for people who need them.
Eligible applicants are broad and include many types of public and private entities that could reasonably operate or support a family planning service delivery system. This includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category); and small businesses. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number is 93.217, which corresponds to family planning services.
From an awards and timing perspective, the notice lists an award ceiling of $1,500,000 per award and anticipates making about 10 awards. The opportunity was posted with a creation date of November 10, 2021, and an original application closing date of December 14, 2021. In summary, this grant program is a targeted federal investment intended to quickly bolster Title X family planning capacity and access in response to rising demand, policy-driven disruptions in care, and persistent geographic gaps in the Title X network, while prioritizing equitable health outcomes across the reproductive lifespan.Apply for PA FPH 22 003
