Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) - Tuskegee, Alabama grant opportunity (HRSA-13-260) is a discretionary grant from 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 core purpose is to expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in an identified service area with significant unmet need, with a focus on medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations. Through this competition, HRSA is seeking an organization to operate or support a health center presence in the Tuskegee, Alabama service area so that people who are uninsured, underinsured, low-income, or otherwise medically underserved can receive primary care and related enabling services in a community-based, patient-directed setting.
This announcement is specifically part of HRSA's Service Area Competition (SAC) Additional Area process, meaning it targets a defined geographic area that HRSA has announced as eligible for new or expanded health center services. Applicants compete to become the award recipient responsible for delivering Health Center Program services in that service area. The funding is intended for operational support, not simply planning, and it can support one or more of the section 330 health center types depending on the proposed scope and the needs of the population: 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 the language of the notice, "health center" is used as an umbrella term covering any of these eligible models.
The broader context HRSA highlights is the national Health Center Program network, which funds more than 1,200 health centers operating over 8,500 service delivery sites across every state and multiple U.S. territories. HRSA notes that in 2011 the program served more than 20 million patients, emphasizing the program's role in reaching populations that often face barriers such as lack of insurance coverage, transportation challenges, language and cultural differences, and shortages of local providers. The Tuskegee SAC AA opportunity fits into that same mission by directing resources to a high-need area and selecting a single organization to deliver care there under federal health center requirements.
The funding instrument is a grant, and HRSA anticipated making one award for this specific Tuskegee service area competition. The stated award ceiling is $1,398,873, with no stated award floor (listed as $0), which typically means the final amount depends on the approved scope, budget justification, and HRSA's final funding decision. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants, which lowers the barrier to entry for community-based organizations that may not have large reserves or fundraising capacity.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include public entities and nonprofit private entities. The notice lists examples such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including counties, cities or townships, special districts, and independent school districts), and tribal governments or tribal organizations. HRSA also explicitly includes community-based, faith-based, and tribal organizations as potential applicants, provided they meet the program's eligibility and can carry out the required health center functions for the service area. In practical terms, the applicant must be capable of operating as a section 330-funded health center, which generally involves providing comprehensive primary care services, serving all patients regardless of ability to pay, using a sliding fee discount schedule for eligible patients, and maintaining a governance structure consistent with Health Center Program expectations.
Key dates for this opportunity reflect that it was posted on November 15, 2012, with an original closing date of December 19, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of January 6, 2013. The opportunity was archived on February 8, 2013. The associated CFDA number is 93.224, which corresponds to the Consolidated Health Centers program covering community health centers, migrant health centers, health care for the homeless, and public housing primary care.
For organizations that wanted to apply or review the official details, HRSA provided an online announcement link through the HRSA grants site. HRSA also listed its call center as the primary support channel for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement or needed help with the application process, reachable by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
