About this opportunity
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of Population Affairs (OPA) is soliciting applications for Title X Family Planning Research Grants with an application deadline of July 17, 2026.
OPA anticipates awarding approximately $1,500,000 across an estimated six awards in the range of $200,000 to $500,000 per year for projects spanning 2–3 years in 12-month budget periods. Eligible applicants include tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations), state and local governments, higher education institutions (public and private), school districts, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), special district governments, and public or Indian housing authorities.
Supported projects conduct research or analyses that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of Title X family planning services, including secondary data analyses and small applied research projects completable within two to three years. All funded recipients must implement awards in alignment with the Priorities of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.
An independent merit review panel of experts drawn from academic institutions, nonprofits, state and local government, and federal agencies evaluates applications against criteria outlined in the NOFO. Federal staff additionally review each application for programmatic, budgetary, and grants management compliance. Award decisions are final and not appealable. Subsequent budget periods beyond the first are generally made following review and approval of non-competing continuation applications contingent on satisfactory performance, fund availability, and the government's best interest.
The program operates under CFDA 93.974 (Family Planning Service Delivery Improvement Research) and Title X of the Public Health Service Act. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; applicants require valid SAM.gov registration. The opportunity is subject to intergovernmental review under Executive Order 12372 and 45 CFR part 100. The $1,000,000 expenditure threshold for audit requirements (effective October 1, 2024) applies to this award.
