Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition - Additional Area (SAC-AA) - Miles City, Montana grant opportunity (HRSA-16-178) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HHS-HRSA) under CFDA 93.224. It is part of the federal Health Center Program and is designed to fund organizations that can deliver ongoing primary and preventive health care in a specific, announced service area. In this case, the targeted service area is Miles City, Montana, and the intent is to make sure people in that community, especially medically underserved and vulnerable populations, continue to have access to comprehensive, culturally competent, and high-quality care.
At its core, SAC-AA is about operational support for health centers. Rather than focusing on a short-term project or a narrowly defined pilot, this competition supports the ongoing delivery of front-line health services. The Health Center Program emphasizes patient-directed care and supports both public and private nonprofit organizations that are able to serve medically underserved communities effectively. The funding is tied to a defined geographic service area, and applicants are expected to show they can meet community needs with accessible, appropriate, and reliable primary care and prevention-focused services.
The announcement explains that eligible applicants are organizations that meet the SAC-AA requirements and the Health Center Program expectations, with eligibility clarified in the full FOA under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The FOA is structured to guide applicants through eligibility rules, review criteria, and the awarding factors HRSA will use to decide which organization will receive the award. The competition is intended to result in a single award for this service area (Expected Awards: 1), meaning applicants are competing to be the designated Health Center Program-funded provider for the Miles City area described in the announcement.
This opportunity also clarifies that the term "health center" is used broadly and can include one or more of the Health Center Program funding types authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act: 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)). Applicants may propose to provide services aligned with one or more of these categories depending on the needs in the announced service area and the applicant's capabilities, but the unifying expectation is that services are comprehensive primary and preventive care delivered with quality and cultural competence.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on December 18, 2015, with an application closing date of February 22, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the specific maximum award amount is not expressed in that summary field and would be detailed elsewhere in the full FOA or associated program guidance. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health, consistent with HRSA's role in supporting safety-net primary care infrastructure.
Overall, SAC-AA - Miles City, Montana is a competitive HRSA funding opportunity aimed at ensuring stable, continuous access to essential primary and preventive health care services in an underserved area by selecting one qualified, patient-centered organization to operate as the Health Center Program-supported provider for that community.
