archived

The Office of Population Affairs announces the availability of funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 grant awards under the authority of Title X of the Public Health Service Act. On February 14, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a permanent injunction against enforcing the 2019 Title X Final Rule in the State of Maryland only. Therefore, applicants proposing to provide services in Maryland, need to submit an application under the programmatic guidance in the FY 2019 Title X Family Planning Services Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), which was posted on November 7, 2018 and revised January 15, 2019 when the 2019 Title X Final Rule was not yet in effect. This notice (PA-FPH-20-002) is for entities applying to provide Title X family planning services in Maryland. The FY 2019 Title X Family Planning Services FOA, revised for dates and other grants management requirements is attached. Because of this permanent injunction, all services provided in Maryland must be in compliance with the previous regulations until further notice. Applications under this notice and the nationwide notice (PA-FPH-20-001) will be reviewed under the respective review criteria of each notice, and ranked in a single list for funding consideration. FY 2020 grant awards under the authority of Title X of the Public Health Service Act (i.e. this notice and PA-FPH-20-001) will be awarded based on the need of the applicants for Title X funding overall.
