To apply, applicants must access the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) thru Grants.gov. Enter the Assistance Listing number and follow the website instructions. Applications submitted after the published deadlines will not be accepted for review. The submission deadline will not be extended absent prior written approval from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) Grants Management Officer (GMO). Applications which do not conform to the requirements of the NOFO will be deemed ineligible and not reviewed. Applications may only be submitted electronically via Grants.gov. Any applications submitted via any other means of electronic communication, including facsimile or electronic mail, will not be accepted for review. Applicants must have a valid SAM.gov registration prior to submitting their application to Grants.gov. Final award recommendations will be made by the head of the program office to the Grants Management Officer, using information from the independent merit review panel and the Federal staff reviews. Following a risk assessment as required by 45 CFR part 75, the Grants Management Officer may issue awards. Funded organizations receive a Notice of Award that includes all of the details of their award, and are assigned to a project officer from the program office and a Grants Management Specialist from the OASH Grants and Acquisitions Management Division. Application deadlines are published in the Notice of Funding Opportunity posted on grants.gov linked to this Assistance Listing number. From 120 to 180 days. Not applicable. More than 180 days. Support is recommended for a specified period of performance, not in excess of five years. Awards are generally made in 12-month budget periods. Budget periods after the first are generally made after review and approval of a non-competing continuation application subject to satisfactory performance, availability of funds, and the best interest of the government. A recipient may request a no cost extension or may compete for a new award under a posted notice of funding opportunity in this program. An independent review panel evaluates applications that pass the screening and meet the responsiveness criteria in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). These reviewers are experts in their fields, and are drawn from academic institutions, non-profit organizations, state and local government, and Federal government agencies. Based on the Application Review Criteria as outlined in the NOFO, the reviewers will comment on and rate the applications, focusing their comments and rating decisions on the identified criteria. In addition to the independent review panel, Federal staff will review each application for programmatic, budgetary, and grants management compliance. Grants must be used for family planning services, which include a broad range of services related to preventing pregnancy, achieving pregnancy, and assisting clients with achieving their desired number and spacing of children. Core family planning services provided by all Title X service grantees include the broad range of acceptable and effective contraceptive methods, pregnancy testing and counseling in accordance with the Title X regulations, basic infertility services, services for adolescents, STI testing, and preconception health services. Funds may not be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning. Funds may not be used for purchase or construction of buildings; salaries of personnel paid from other Federal grant funds; and certain other miscellaneous items as specified in the regulations. Priority in the provision of services will be given to persons from low-income families.

In accordance with 45 CFR 75.361, grantees are required to maintain grant accounting records 3 years after the end of a project period. If any litigation, claim, negotiation, audit or other action involving the records has been started before the expiration of the 3-year period, the records shall be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues which arise from it, or until the end of the regular 3-year period, whichever is later.

Also, 42 C.F.R. § 59.7(b) states that “No grant may be made for less than 90 percent of the project's costs, as so estimated, unless the grant is to be made for a project that was supported, under section 1001, for less than 90 percent of its costs in fiscal year 1975. In that case, the grant shall not be for less than the percentage of costs covered by the grant in fiscal year 1975.''
