GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

HHS/OASH is funding a single National Training Center for Family Planning — one organization to provide training and technical assistance to the entire Title X network (3,800+ service sites serving ~3 million low-income patients). This is a $3M/year award to essentially be the backbone training infrastructure for the nation's family planning program. You'll develop curricula, deliver trainings, and ensure all Title X providers can meet federal quality standards.

Who Should Apply

Large nonprofits, universities, or public health organizations with national training infrastructure and deep expertise in family planning/reproductive health. Must have capacity to serve 3,800+ sites nationwide.

Who Should NOT Apply

Local clinics, individual providers, small nonprofits without national reach, organizations without family planning expertise, or anyone who can't scale to serve thousands of provider sites.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

•Must be a public or private nonprofit entity
•Must demonstrate capacity for national-scale training delivery
•Must have expertise in Title X family planning program requirements
•Must develop comprehensive training curricula for diverse provider types
•Must provide both in-person and virtual training modalities
•No cost-sharing required

💡 GrantQuick Tip

This is a re-competition of an existing national training center. The incumbent (likely a large reproductive health organization or university) has major advantages — existing relationships with Title X grantees, proven curricula, and established delivery systems. If you're not already deeply embedded in the Title X world, this is extremely difficult to win. Your best angle is if you can show innovation in training delivery (AI-assisted learning, better rural access) that the incumbent hasn't achieved.

Competitiveness: Very high — 1 award of $3M, likely incumbent advantage. Only 3-5 organizations nationally have the scale and expertise to credibly apply.

What This Grant Funds

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to create a single, coordinated national training center that provides comprehensive TTA to Title X grant recipients and their networks of sub-recipients and service sites. Title X currently operates through a large and diverse network of more than 3,800 service sites who provide Title X services to close to 3 million low-income individuals annually, and these providers rely on consistent, high-quality support to meet statutory and regulatory requirements and OASH and OPA priorities.
