Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) Cincinnati, Ohio funding opportunity (HRSA-14-146) was a discretionary grant announcement from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Health Center Program authorized by Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). Its basic purpose was to select one organization to receive federal operational support to run a new or expanded HRSA-supported health center presence in an announced service area in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a focus on improving access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care for medically underserved and vulnerable populations. The award was intended to strengthen the health care safety net by ensuring that people who typically face barriers to care, including uninsured and medically underserved patients, can access essential services through a community-based, patient-directed model.
This FOA sat within HRSA's broader Health Center Program, which funds a national network of roughly 1,200 health centers operating nearly 9,000 service delivery sites across all states and multiple U.S. territories. HRSA emphasized the program's track record and scale, noting that in 2012 more than 21 million patients received care through these health centers, including large numbers of underserved and uninsured individuals. In that context, SAC AA competitions are used when HRSA has identified an additional service area needing a Health Center Program-supported provider, and it then competitively awards funding to an eligible applicant to deliver Section 330-required services and meet program expectations.
Applicants were able to propose operational support under one or more of the Section 330 health center categories, depending on the needs of the announced Cincinnati service area and the applicant's proposed model. Those categories include Community Health Center (CHC, 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC, 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, 330(i)). Although the FOA uses the general term "health center," it is referring to this range of eligible Health Center Program types, each of which targets specific underserved groups or settings while still operating within the core Section 330 framework.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,323,147 and anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The associated CFDA number was 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant, though they would still be expected to present a realistic budget and operational plan consistent with HRSA expectations.
Eligibility was broad across public and nonprofit entities, reflecting how health centers can be operated by different kinds of community-based organizations and governmental bodies. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that specific nonprofit category), as well as state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). At the same time, HRSA made clear that applicants had to meet all specific eligibility requirements described in the FOA itself (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5), which typically cover things like the ability to meet Health Center Program requirements, serve the defined service area and target population(s), and demonstrate organizational and clinical capacity.
In terms of timeline, the FOA was posted on May 15, 2014, and closed on June 18, 2014 (with the same date listed for both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on August 31, 2014. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the funding activity category was health.
For applicants and stakeholders, the practical takeaway is that this competition was designed to pick one operator for HRSA-supported health center services in a designated Cincinnati service area, using a competitive review process based on the FOA's stated eligibility rules, review criteria, and awarding factors. HRSA provided application access and technical assistance through the HRSA Grants Application Center and HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772; CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) for anyone who had difficulty obtaining the full announcement or needed support navigating the process.
