Opportunity Summary:
The Affordable Care Act Capital Development - Building Capacity Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-115) was a one-time, competitive grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to help existing federally supported health centers expand and modernize their physical capacity. Backed by an estimated total of about $600 million in Affordable Care Act capital funding, the program was designed to strengthen health centers ability to deliver primary care and preventive services, especially for medically underserved populations. In practical terms, the funding was meant to help clinics handle more patients, improve care delivery space, and support infrastructure changes that make services more accessible and effective.
This opportunity was categorized as a discretionary grant in the health funding activity area, with HRSA expecting to make about 125 awards. Individual awards were relatively large for the health center setting, with requests required to fall between $500,000 (award floor) and $5,000,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive an award, although applicants would still be expected to present realistic budgets and feasible project plans.
Eligible applicants were limited to existing Health Center Program grantees funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (including 330(e), (g), (h), and (i)) that had an application approved for FY 2011 grant support. The eligibility rules also narrowed the pool further in several important ways. Applicants could not have already received awards through either the FY 2010 Facility Investment Program (FIP) or the FY 2011 Capital Development funding opportunities, which was intended to spread capital support across more organizations rather than concentrating it among prior awardees. The applicant had to be a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and the proposal had to be for a project directly operated by the health center grantee rather than a subrecipient or contractor site.
The program funded capital development activities tied to increasing service capacity, including alteration and renovation of existing space, expansion of facilities, and new construction. At the same time, the announcement placed clear guardrails around how facilities could be used. Construction could not begin before the award date, which ensured federal funds were supporting approved, competitively selected projects rather than reimbursing work already underway. The project also could not be used to create space intended to be rented out to other entities to generate revenue; instead, the space had to be operated by the grant recipient to support services consistent with section 330 requirements. These restrictions reinforced the central purpose of the program: building clinical capacity for core health center services rather than funding real estate development or revenue-generating leasing arrangements.
Key administrative details include the CFDA number 93.526 (Affordable Care Act Grants for Capital Development in Health Centers). The funding opportunity was posted on September 9, 2011, and it closed on October 12, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on December 10, 2011. HRSA provided applicant support through the HRSA Call Center for organizations that had trouble accessing the full announcement materials.
