Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grants for School Based Health Centers Capital (SBHCC) Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11 127) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to strengthen school based health centers by paying for capital improvements rather than day-to-day operations. The central aim is to help SBHCs deliver health care that is more effective, efficient, and higher quality, while also showing clear, practical improvements in students access to health services. In other words, the funding is meant to upgrade the physical and equipment capacity of school based clinics so they can serve children better, not to cover staffing, clinical services, or other ongoing operating costs.
This program is strictly focused on capital expenditures. Applicants may use funds for projects such as renovating, expanding, or constructing SBHC facilities, developing stand alone site specific facility projects, and purchasing moveable equipment and supplies. The structure is flexible in that one eligible applicant can submit a single application that includes up to 10 separate projects, which can be a mix of facility related projects plus (optionally) one project dedicated to buying moveable equipment and supplies intended for use across multiple SBHC sites. At the same time, the program draws a firm line around what is not allowed: SBHCC funds cannot be used for the provision of health services, personnel salaries, or other operational expenses, so applicants have to be prepared to support ongoing operations through other funding streams.
A notable feature of this announcement is the use of a funding preference. To qualify for that preference, an applicant must certify that the SBHC site or sites serve a large population of children who are eligible for Medicaid under Title XIX (including eligible children served under a waiver) or who are eligible for coverage under the Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) under Title XXI. Practically speaking, this means proposals that can demonstrate the SBHC primarily serves low income or publicly insured students are positioned to receive preferential consideration, assuming all other eligibility and program requirements are met.
Eligibility is limited to entities that meet the statutory definition of a school based health center or a sponsoring facility of a school based health center, as defined in Section 4101(a)(6) of the Affordable Care Act and referenced in Section 2110(c)(9) of the Social Security Act (42 USC 1397jj(c)(9)). The funding opportunity listing flags the applicant type broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that prospective applicants need to confirm their status against the formal definitions and requirements in the full funding opportunity announcement rather than relying on general categories alone.
From a funding perspective, HRSA estimated a total program funding level of $100,000,000 for this competition, with an expected 200 awards. The award ceiling is listed as $500,000 per award, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for SBHCs and sponsors that may not have substantial capital reserves. The CFDA number tied to this opportunity is 93.501, Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grants for School Based Health Center Capital Expenditures, and the activity category is health.
Timing details in the source data show the opportunity was posted October 4, 2010, created October 22, 2010, and ultimately had a current closing date of December 1, 2010 (originally listed as December 10, 2010). The archive date is February 8, 2011, indicating this particular announcement is no longer open, but the summary remains useful as a reference point for how HRSA structured this SBHC capital funding under the ACA.
Finally, HRSA explicitly emphasizes that applicants must follow the guidance in the funding opportunity announcement and review it carefully before applying. That matters because the program has specific boundaries (capital only, no operations), a defined project submission structure (one application, up to 10 projects), and a preference framework tied to Medicaid and CHIP populations. For applicants or researchers seeking the full official announcement, the listing provides a link to HRSA grants materials and directs anyone who cannot access the announcement electronically to contact the HRSA Call Center at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877 464 4772 (877 Go4 HRSA) or 301 998 7373.
