Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) opportunity (HRSA-14-108) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the federal Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). The central purpose is to expand and strengthen access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities by providing operational support to organizations that will serve specific, HRSA-announced service areas. In this particular announcement, the eligible service areas are Marquette, Michigan; Omaha, Nebraska; and Hood River, Oregon. The funding is aimed at ensuring that people in these communities, especially medically underserved and vulnerable populations, can obtain ongoing primary care that is culturally competent, high quality, and accessible regardless of ability to pay.
This FOA is part of HRSA's broader Health Center Program, which funds community-based, patient-directed organizations that deliver primary care and related services. The program includes several health center types under section 330, and applicants may propose to operate within one or more of these categories depending on local need and what HRSA allows for 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)). In plain terms, the grant is designed to support the day-to-day operations required to run a federally supported health center presence in the designated geography, not simply a short-term pilot project.
HRSA frames this funding in the context of the national footprint and impact of health centers. At the time of the announcement, the program supported roughly 1,200 health centers operating nearly 9,000 service delivery sites across every state and multiple territories, and in 2012 those sites served more than 21 million patients, including large numbers of uninsured and medically underserved people. The SAC AA mechanism is used when HRSA identifies communities where additional service capacity or new operational coverage is needed and then competes that service area so qualified organizations can apply to run or expand Health Center Program-supported services there.
From an applicant perspective, the announcement signals that HRSA will make approximately three awards total (ExpectedAwards: 3), corresponding to the three listed service areas. The estimated total funding amount across the competition is $6,518,579. The FOA listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the public synopsis is not specifying per-award ranges in that field and that applicants need to rely on the full FOA for detailed budget expectations and any service-area-specific funding levels. The program is tied to CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of the award (though leveraging other resources can still be relevant to competitiveness and feasibility depending on the FOA).
A wide range of public and nonprofit entities are potentially eligible to apply, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments and certain tribal organizations, and various units of government (city/township, county, state), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The synopsis emphasizes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the FOA itself (noted as being on pages 4 and 5 of the full announcement). In practice for section 330 funding, those eligibility rules typically focus on the applicant's ability to operate as a compliant health center in the defined service area, meet governance and patient-majority board requirements where applicable, provide required primary care services (and arrange for additional services), and follow Health Center Program expectations related to accessibility, quality improvement, and serving underserved populations; the exact requirements for this competition would be confirmed in the full FOA text.
The timeline for this opportunity is clearly defined in the listing: it was posted and created on October 23, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 22, 2013, and it was archived January 21, 2014. Organizations that applied would have needed to prepare a grant application consistent with HRSA's review criteria and awarding factors for SAC AA, which are intended to help HRSA choose an operator that can credibly deliver and sustain comprehensive primary care in the specified locality, demonstrate understanding of community need, and show the operational capacity to run a Health Center Program-supported site or network.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating submission issues, HRSA directed people to the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and to the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) or CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
