Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) opportunity (HRSA-14-114) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Health Center Program authority in Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). The purpose is to expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in underserved communities by funding health centers to operate in specific announced service areas. In practical terms, HRSA uses this competition to select organizations that will receive operational support to deliver Health Center Program services in the identified additional service areas within the states listed in the title (Alaska, Massachusetts, Mississippi, and North Carolina).
This funding sits within HRSA's broader Health Center Program, which supports community-based, patient-directed organizations focused on medically underserved and vulnerable populations, including uninsured patients. HRSA highlights the scale and impact of the program to frame the need and expected outcomes: roughly 1,200 funded health centers operating close to 9,000 service delivery sites nationwide and serving more than 21 million patients in 2012. The SAC AA announcement is designed to target high-need geographies and populations by directing operational grant support to organizations capable of meeting Section 330 health center requirements in the specified service areas.
Applicants can propose to operate one or more of the Health Center Program service types authorized under Section 330, depending on the announced service area needs. The eligible service types referenced in the announcement include Community Health Center (CHC, Section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC, Section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, Section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, Section 330(i)). While the FOA uses the general term "health center," it is explicitly meant to include any of these models, each of which focuses on improving access to primary care and related enabling services for specific underserved populations or settings.
The award mechanism is a grant, with an estimated total funding level of $9,541,675 and an expectation of 6 awards. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). The posting date was December 4, 2013, and the application due date was January 8, 2014 (later archived March 9, 2014). The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, although awardees still must meet all programmatic and fiscal requirements spelled out in the full FOA.
Eligibility is broad and includes many public and nonprofit organizational types that commonly operate safety-net health services. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and both public and private institutions of higher education. Federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations are also listed as eligible. The FOA notes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the announcement (pages 4 and 5), which typically means an organization must be able to meet Section 330 health center requirements and demonstrate the capacity to serve the announced area and target population(s) consistent with HRSA expectations.
At a high level, HRSA is using SAC AA to ensure that designated underserved areas have a qualified Health Center Program awardee responsible for delivering the full scope of required primary care services and meeting Health Center Program standards. The FOA itself is the governing document for details such as the specific announced service areas, application components, review criteria, and awarding factors, but the core intent is operational support for health center service delivery in the additional areas identified for competition in AK, MA, MS, and NC.
For assistance accessing the full announcement or troubleshooting the application process, HRSA directs applicants to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and provides the HRSA Call Center contact options (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and 877-464-4772).
