Opportunity Summary:

The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) Brooklyn (Coney Island), NY opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-132) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the Health Center Program in a specifically announced service area: Brooklyn (Coney Island), New York. The overall purpose is to expand or establish operational health center capacity in an underserved community so residents can access comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care. This program is designed to strengthen the safety-net role of health centers, which HRSA describes as community-based, patient-directed organizations that collectively provide care across thousands of sites nationwide and serve medically underserved and vulnerable populations, including uninsured patients.

This announcement is part of HRSA's Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) process, which solicits applications from eligible organizations that want to operate and deliver Health Center Program services in the identified area. Applicants may propose to operate under one or more of the Section 330 authorities in the Public Health Service Act, as amended: Community Health Center (CHC, 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC, 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, 330(i)). In practical terms, the funding is intended to provide operational support for a health center model that delivers primary care and related enabling services in a way that is responsive to community needs and reduces barriers to care.

The award profile in this posting reflects a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000 and an award ceiling of $650,000 (award floor listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (which covers Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health.

Eligibility is broad but still tied to the specific Health Center Program rules in the FOA. The listing indicates that eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that particular category), as well as certain government entities and other public or quasi-public bodies, such as state and local governments (including city/township and county governments), special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. However, the notice emphasizes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the FOA (referenced as pages 4 through 6), meaning that simply being in an eligible entity category is not by itself sufficient; applicants must satisfy the Health Center Program-specific statutory and program requirements laid out in the full announcement.

The application timeline for this opportunity shows it was posted on November 12, 2014, with an original closing date of December 17, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of December 22, 2014. The archive date is February 15, 2015. While the notice does not reproduce the review criteria text, it states that the FOA provides the SAC AA eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors HRSA uses to evaluate proposals for operational support in the announced service area, consistent with Health Center Program expectations around access, quality, and responsiveness to underserved populations.

For applicant support and questions, HRSA provided contact information through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with the primary email address bphcsac@hrsa.gov. A specific contact, Beth Hartmayer, is also listed with a phone number and extension, directing inquiries to the same program email address, particularly for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
