Introduction

Title X grantees and subrecipients are invited to apply for the Title X Policy Development and Implementation Peer Learning Group (PLG). Through this PLG, the RHNTC will facilitate a peer-to-peer learning process, leveraging field expertise to guide participants in developing, implementing, and training staff on written administrative policies and procedures that align with Title X Program Expectations.

Expected Outcomes

By the end of this PLG, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe a process for developing, implementing and updating policies that uphold compliance with Title X program expectations;
  2. Draft or update a policy and procedure or a framework to guide their agency’s policy development and implementation processes; and
  3. Identify resources that they can use to support Title X policy development, implementation and staff training.

Structure

  • The PLG includes five 90-minute virtual group sessions between February and June 2025, with one-on-one coaching calls between sessions. 
  • Participant teams will be expected to make progress on their work between sessions. 

Approach

  • The group sessions will promote peer learning and guide participants in developing policies that comply with Title X Program Expectations while advancing access to equitable, high-quality family planning services. 
  • Group sessions and coaching calls will support teams in drafting or updating a policy/procedure or a framework to guide their agency’s policy development and implementation processes. 
  • The final session will provide an opportunity for participants to share successes and key takeaways, and outline their next steps.

Participants

  • The RHNTC encourages all Title X agencies (grantees and subrecipients) to apply, especially those that have recently undergone or are anticipating a federal program review.
  • Teams may consist of staff from only the grantee agency, only the subrecipient agency, or a combination of both the grantee and subrecipient agencies.
  • Submit one application for your agency. 
  • The ideal team for each agency consists of 2 to 4 staff members involved in policy development, implementation, and/or training who can participate in all five virtual group sessions and one-on-one calls.

Criteria for participant selection

  • Eligible teams include those from Title X grantees and subrecipients. 
  • Participants should comprise staff responsible for policy development, implementation, and training.
