Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Area (SAC AA) funding opportunity (HRSA-13-277) 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 basic purpose is to expand access to comprehensive primary health care in specific announced locations by funding one qualified organization per service area to operate as a section 330-supported health center. For this particular announcement, the “additional area†locations listed are Tyler, Texas; Roxbury, Massachusetts; and Bristol, Florida, and HRSA anticipated making three awards total, aligning with those three service areas.
The opportunity is designed to strengthen the nation’s primary care safety net for medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations, including people who are uninsured or face significant barriers to care. HRSA frames the Health Center Program as a large national network (over 1,200 health centers and thousands of sites) intended to deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary care. Within that broader program, SAC AA is a competitive process that selects an organization to provide operational support and ongoing service delivery in an area HRSA has identified as needing additional health center capacity. Operational support here typically means the grant funds help run and sustain the clinical and enabling services that make access possible, rather than being limited to a one-time planning activity.
Applications under this FOA are for grants under one or more of the Health Center Program authorities: Community Health Center (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and/or Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). HRSA uses “health center†as an umbrella term covering any of these section 330 types, and applicants generally need to show they can meet the statutory and programmatic expectations tied to whichever funding subprogram(s) they propose. In practical terms, that means proposing a patient-directed, community-based model that provides comprehensive primary care and supportive services to the target population(s) in the designated service area, while meeting HRSA’s expectations for quality and culturally competent care.
Eligibility is broad across several common public and nonprofit categories, but it is not open-ended. The announcement lists eligible applicants such as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education), certain tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and a range of government entities (state, county, city/township), as well as special district governments and independent school districts. The FOA also emphasizes that applicants must meet all stated eligibility requirements and that applications failing to demonstrate compliance will be considered non-responsive and not reviewed for funding. In other words, basic eligibility and documentation are treated as a gatekeeping step before an application can even be scored on its merits.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a grant opportunity (not a contract) with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was April 3, 2013, and the application closing date was May 1, 2013 (with an archive date of June 30, 2013). The listing shows award floor and award ceiling as 0, which usually indicates the specific funding levels were defined elsewhere in the full FOA or would vary by service area and approved scope, rather than being capped in the summary record. The CFDA number tied to the program is 93.224, which corresponds to Consolidated Health Centers (covering CHC, MHC, HCH, and PHPC).
HRSA directs applicants and interested parties to the full announcement for the detailed eligibility rules, review criteria, and awarding factors, and it provides a help channel through the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and CallCenter@HRSA.GOV for anyone who cannot access the FOA online. The full announcement link included in the listing is hosted on HRSA’s grants site and is where an applicant would find the required forms, the specific service area expectations for Tyler, Roxbury, and Bristol, and the exact standards the reviewers use to score applications.
