Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition - Additional Areas (SAC AA) grant opportunity (HRSA-15-141) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to expand and sustain access to comprehensive primary health care in medically underserved communities. It is part of the federal Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224), which funds community-based, patient-directed health centers that deliver culturally competent, quality primary care and related services to underserved and vulnerable populations, including people who are uninsured or otherwise face barriers to care. The SAC AA competition specifically solicits applications to provide operational support for HRSA-announced service areas in the listed states: Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.
At its core, this funding is designed to ensure that communities identified by HRSA as lacking sufficient access to primary care can be served by a Health Center Program awardee operating one or more service delivery sites. The FOA frames health centers as a national safety-net system: approximately 1,300 HRSA-funded health centers operate more than 9,000 sites across every state and multiple territories, and in 2013 they served more than 21 million patients. SAC AA fits into that larger system by competitively awarding support to organizations prepared to take responsibility for an entire newly announced service area, rather than serving only a portion of it.
Funding under SAC AA can support health center projects authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This includes Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, section 330(i)). In practical terms, applicants propose how they will establish or operate sites and deliver required health center services to the population(s) associated with the announced service area, consistent with Health Center Program expectations for comprehensive primary care and community governance.
The eligibility rules are strict and applications that do not clearly demonstrate compliance are considered non-responsive and will not be reviewed for funding. Applicants must be public entities or private nonprofit organizations, and HRSA explicitly notes examples such as tribal, faith-based, and community-based organizations. Beyond organizational type, applicants must also fit one of the SAC AA applicant categories described in the announcement. A "Competing Continuation" applicant is a current Health Center Program grantee seeking to continue serving its current service area into a new project period. A "New" applicant is an organization not currently funded through the Health Center Program that proposes to serve an entire announced service area through one or more sites. A "Supplemental" applicant is an existing Health Center Program grantee that proposes to add responsibility for an entire additional announced service area beyond its current service area, typically by proposing one or more new sites (and selecting the appropriate application type, such as a revision, on the SF-424). In all cases, the applicant must propose to serve the specific service area and associated population(s) listed in HRSA's SAC AA Service Area Announcement Table.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, HRSA anticipated making 9 awards under this FOA, with an estimated total funding amount of $23,280,219. The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The FOA was posted January 20, 2015, with an application closing date of March 25, 2015, and an archive date of May 24, 2015. While the record lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, that typically indicates the specific award sizes are determined based on the announced service areas and the approved scope of project rather than a single fixed limit stated in the summary field.
Applicants were directed to HRSA resources for the service area table and other official details, and the grant opportunity provided contact information through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, including an email address (bphcsac@hrsa.gov) and a point of contact (Beth Hartmayer) for technical or access questions.
