HHS OPA FY 2027 Title X Family Planning Services Grants
HHS Office of Population Affairs plans up to $257 million for as many as 90 Title X family planning service grants, with anticipated awards from $200,000 to $22 million and project periods of up to five years. The current OPA funding page lists applications due January 11, 2027.
FundingUp to approximately $257,000,000 total anticipated funding for up to 90 awards. The NOFO lists an anticipated award range of $200,000 to $22,000,000 and a period of performance of up to 60 months. Actual FY 2027 funding remains subject to federal appropriations.
DeadlineCurrent OPA funding page and federal grant search list January 11, 2027. The original NOFO PDF states January 9, 2027. Atlas uses January 11 as the current public deadline but recommends submitting by January 9 where feasible until the Grants.gov package or a formal amendment fully reconciles the discrepancy.

Required next actionConfirm the applicant is a public or private nonprofit entity, define the proposed Title X service area and service-delivery network, determine whether subrecipients are needed, document required non-federal financial support, review the Title X statute/regulations and FY 2027 agency priorities, and build the Grants.gov application well ahead of the January deadline. Because the original PDF and current OPA/Grants.gov listings conflict on January 9 versus January 11, use January 9 as the safe internal submission target unless the controlling Grants.gov package clearly confirms the later date.
Broad Eligibility
Any public or private nonprofit entity may apply. Examples in the NOFO include state, county, city/township and special-district governments; independent school districts; public and nonprofit private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations; public housing authorities; 501(c)(3) nonprofits; and other nonprofit entities. For-profit entities are not listed as eligible. Entity-eligibility documentation is required. Projects must include financial support from sources other than Title X, although there is no fixed match percentage or amount.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 97/100. This is a major national safety-net and preventive-health competition with up to $257 million anticipated, as many as 90 awards, and project periods up to five years. Strong fits include public health departments, nonprofit health networks, qualified community providers, Tribal entities and other eligible organizations capable of operating a compliant Title X service network for low-income and underserved populations. The verified scope includes family planning, pregnancy testing and counseling, basic infertility services, STI/HIV prevention education and testing/referral, reproductive and body health literacy, reproductive-goals counseling, preconception services and quality improvement. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 from the currently verified NOFO: health IT interoperability appears as a federal award requirement, but Atlas has not verified a connected-exam, telehealth-equipment or general clinical-technology purchasing pathway. Any later technology role should be tied to a specific allowable Title X clinical workflow and confirmed in the budget and current application guidance.
The HHS Office of Population Affairs (OPA) is accepting applications for FY 2027 Title X Family Planning Services grants under opportunity PA-FPH-27-001. OPA states that up to $257 million may be available for as many as 90 awards, with anticipated awards ranging from $200,000 to $22 million and periods of performance of up to five years.
Eligible applicants are public or private nonprofit entities. The NOFO lists examples including state, county, city and special-district governments, independent school districts, public and nonprofit private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Tribal governments and Tribal organizations, public housing authorities, 501(c)(3) nonprofits and other nonprofit entities. For any one project, only one eligible entity receives the award, although partners and subrecipients may participate.
Title X projects provide voluntary family planning and related preventive health services, with priority for people from low-income families. The FY 2027 NOFO includes pregnancy testing and counseling, basic infertility services, STI and HIV prevention education, counseling, testing and referral, health and body literacy, reproductive-goals counseling and other preconception health services. Applicants must document non-federal financial support in addition to Title X funds; there is no single fixed match percentage.
Deadline control: OPA’s current funding-opportunities page and the current federal grants search list Monday, January 11, 2027. The original posted NOFO PDF still prints January 9, 2027. Atlas therefore treats January 11 as the current public deadline while recommending submission by January 9 where feasible until the Grants.gov package or a formal amendment fully reconciles the documents.
