We anticipate offering this opportunity in combination with AH-TPS-25-001 to operate a National Training Center that will provide training and technical assistance to all OPA-funded Title X family planning service delivery grantees and all OPA-funded Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program recipients. A parallel forecast is posted under AH-TPS-25-001. The funding level and eligibility described in each forecast is specific to that programs requirements. This forecast is for the Title X component. A single notice of funding opportunity will be posted with the details for both.A single application will be required covering PA-FPT-25-001 and AH-TSP-25-001. The application must be submitted under the PA-FPT-25-001 announcement in Grants.gov. The application will consist of 2 distinct parts; one for each program contributing to this opportunity. To receive funding from the Title X program, you must be a public or private non-profit entity. To receive funding from the TPP program, you must be a public or private (non-profit or for-profit) entity. Two or more entities may work together to achieve eligibility for both programs. For example, a private non-profit and a private for-profit could apply as a legally recognized non-profit partnership or consortium that is registered in SAM.gov. Entities wishing to apply jointly without forming a legally recognized relationship should contact

At the time of application, both entities be able to demonstrate an ability to carry out the project together as separate entities, including any conflict resolution, over the entire expected period of performance. Only one applicant will be funded. We intend to award the project using 2 cooperative agreements (one funded under Title X and one funded under the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program). Together the two cooperative agreements together will constitute the National Training Center.

We may approve shorter budget periods or periods of performance to accommodate administrative factors or funding constraints. For multi-year projects, recipients must submit a non-competing continuation (NCC) application for each budget period after the first. Continuation funding is contingent upon the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the project, appropriate stewardship of federal funds, and the best interests of the government. Funding for all approved budget periods after the first is generally the same as the initial award amount subject to any offset with funds unused in the previous budget period.
