The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) requests Family Planning Telehealth Infrastructure Enhancement and Expansion funding to support the New York State Family Planning Program (NYS FPP). Federal funding is requested to expand the capacity of the NYS FPP provider network to successfully utilize telehealth to deliver essential family planning and reproductive health care services. Requested funding will: 1) Increase funding for telehealth-specific training and intensive one-on-one technical assistance to support the NYS FPP subrecipient agencies in implementing long-term telehealth strategies beyond the COVID-19 pandemic; 2) Implement comprehensive outreach, community engagement and public education strategies to increase community awareness and utilization of telehealth services in underserved communities in New York State; and 3) Support subrecipient agency telehealth-related needs with additional funding, including outreach, promotion, and marketing efforts, and sustainability planning. A priority focus for grant funding is to invest resources in communities, including nine counties in New York State, that are currently unserved by a NYS FPP Title X clinic. It is anticipated that NYS FPP subrecipient agencies will serve an additional 3000 unduplicated clients from underserved communities during the 12-month project period.
