Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition - Additional Area (SAC-AA) - Miles City, Montana funding opportunity (HRSA-17-096) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224). Its central aim is to maintain and strengthen access to comprehensive primary and preventive health care for people living in a defined, medically underserved service area, with a specific focus here on the Miles City, Montana area identified in the announcement. The overall intent is continuity of care: HRSA uses SAC-AA competitions to ensure that communities and vulnerable populations already being served through the Health Center Program continue to have a stable source of high-quality, culturally competent care.
This opportunity seeks applications from patient-directed public or private nonprofit organizations that can operate as a health center under the federal Health Center Program framework. In this context, "health center" is used as an umbrella term that can include one or more of the following 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)). The announcement emphasizes operational support, meaning funds are intended to support the ongoing delivery of care (not simply one-time activities), including the systems, staffing, and service capacity needed to provide routine primary and preventive services to the target population.
The grant is structured as a competitive process with defined eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors described in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA). While the public summary does not list the detailed criteria, it makes clear that applications are evaluated based on HRSA's SAC-AA standards for operating a Health Center Program service area, including the applicant's ability to deliver comprehensive and culturally competent care and to effectively serve underserved communities and vulnerable groups. The eligible applicant category is listed generally as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the FOA's eligibility section, a common HRSA approach when eligibility depends on meeting program-specific health center requirements rather than fitting a single organizational label.
Key administrative details in the source data include: the opportunity was posted/created on August 16, 2016, with an original application closing date of October 17, 2016. HRSA anticipated making one award for this service area. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source extract, which typically signals that an explicit cap was not provided in that particular data field and that applicants should rely on the FOA itself for the expected funding level, budget guidance, and any constraints on requested amounts.
In practical terms, the SAC-AA - Miles City, Montana competition is about selecting an organization capable of functioning as the Health Center Program grantee for the specified service area and ensuring that residents continue to have access to essential primary and preventive health services. The program focus is not limited to medical care alone; the Health Center Program model generally emphasizes accessible, community-based care for underserved populations, delivered with attention to local needs and barriers to care, and governed in a patient-directed manner consistent with health center expectations described in the FOA.
