HHS/OPA's Title X Family Planning Research Grants fund 10 awards ($200K-$500K each, $7.5M total) for research on improving family planning service delivery, access, and quality.

💡 GrantQuick Tip
10 awards for family planning services research is generous. The winning proposals study HOW to deliver services better — not whether contraception works. Hot topics: telehealth for contraception access, AI-enhanced counseling tools, reaching men, serving transgender patients, same-day LARC provision models, or pharmacy-based access. Partner with 2-3 Title X clinics who'll implement what you discover. Show the research-to-practice pipeline.
Competitiveness: Moderate — 10 awards in a focused field. Researchers with existing Title X clinic partnerships have strong advantages.
