Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) released this discretionary grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-116, titled Service Area Competition - Additional Area (SAC AA), to fund operational support for new or newly competed health center service areas in the District of Columbia and the states of Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The program sits under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b) and is part of HRSA's long-running Health Center Program, which is designed to expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in medically underserved communities and for vulnerable populations. In practical terms, this competition is about selecting organizations that can step in and operate health center services in specific announced areas where additional capacity is needed, using the Health Center Program model.
The SAC AA announcement focuses on supporting one or more of the major section 330 health center types depending on the needs of the announced service area: Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). HRSA uses the broader term "health center" to cover any of these models, recognizing that communities may require different combinations of services and target populations. The underlying purpose is consistent with the Health Center Program overall: strengthen the safety net by ensuring patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise medically underserved can access primary care and related enabling services through community-based, patient-directed organizations.
The FOA emphasizes the national scale and impact of the Health Center Program to frame why these awards matter. At the time of the announcement, HRSA reported funding roughly 1,200 health centers operating close to 9,000 service delivery sites across every state and multiple territories. HRSA also cited 2012 utilization figures showing that more than 21 million patients received services through the program, including large numbers of medically underserved and uninsured patients. The SAC AA competition is positioned as one mechanism HRSA uses to target high-need geographies and populations by directing operational grant support to qualified organizations prepared to deliver services in the specified additional service areas.
Funding details in the posting indicate an estimated total funding amount of $8,677,784 with an expected 12 awards under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers, covering CHC, MHC, HCH, and PHPC). The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the summary fields, which typically signals that applicants must rely on the full FOA for the specific budget parameters and service-area-specific funding levels rather than assuming a standard minimum or maximum from the synopsis alone. The opportunity was posted January 16, 2014, with an application deadline of February 19, 2014, and the record later archived on April 20, 2014.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types, reflecting the range of entities that can operate community-based primary care programs when they meet section 330 requirements. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state, county, city or township, and special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and tribal governments or tribal organizations (both federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations). However, the summary also flags that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the FOA itself (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5), meaning organizational type alone is not sufficient. In this program context, those FOA requirements typically relate to an applicant's ability to meet Health Center Program expectations for governance, scope of services, service area definition, and compliance with section 330 program conditions.
From an application and administration standpoint, HRSA indicates that the FOA lays out the eligibility requirements, review criteria, and award factors used to score and select proposals. While the synopsis does not list the criteria line-by-line, it makes clear the competition is structured around demonstrating readiness to provide operational health center services in the announced service area using the Health Center Program framework, tailored to the population groups the area is intended to serve (general underserved communities, migratory and seasonal agricultural workers, people experiencing homelessness, and/or residents of public housing). Applicants would be expected to propose a viable operational plan for delivering primary care that is accessible and culturally competent, aligned with the service area's needs, and consistent with the program's emphasis on serving vulnerable patients.
