Opportunity Summary:
Service Area Competition - Additional Area (SAC-AA) - Baltimore, Maryland (HRSA-16-177) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA), under CFDA 93.224. It was posted on November 17, 2015, with an application deadline of January 19, 2016. HRSA expected to make one award for this announced service area.
The focus of the opportunity is the Health Center Program, which funds patient-directed public and private nonprofit organizations to deliver primary and preventive health care in medically underserved communities. In practical terms, this competition is designed to expand or ensure continued access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary care for the people in the Baltimore, Maryland service area identified in the announcement, with particular attention to vulnerable and underserved populations.
The SAC-AA mechanism supports operational funding for organizations proposing to serve the announced area 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 Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). The announcement notes that, for purposes of the FOA, the term "health center" is used as an umbrella term covering all of these health center types. Applicants are expected to propose a service approach aligned with the specific authority or authorities they seek, while meeting the overall goal of sustaining or strengthening access to core primary and preventive services in the targeted community.
The FOA indicates that it includes the eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors that HRSA will use to evaluate applications competing to become the Health Center Program awardee for the announced additional service area. While the dataset excerpt does not list the detailed eligibility language, it specifies that eligible applicants fall under an "Others" category with further clarification provided in the FOA's "Additional Information on Eligibility" section, signaling that applicants must closely follow the FOA instructions to confirm they qualify and to understand any program-specific organizational requirements. The listing also shows an award ceiling of $0 in the source data, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in that particular summary field rather than indicating that no funding would be provided, and the full FOA would be the controlling document for actual funding levels and project expectations.
