Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition Additional Areas grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-158) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funding opportunity designed to support the delivery of comprehensive primary health care in an underserved area or to an underserved population. This competition applies only to areas that HRSA has specifically announced as available for competitive selection, which are listed in Appendix E of the program guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov. In this particular announcement, HRSA is seeking an organization to serve a single, specific service area: Culberson and Hudspeth Counties, Texas. The intent is to ensure continued access to full-scope primary care services for the entire community currently receiving care in that service area, rather than allowing fragmented coverage or partial service proposals.
This opportunity is structured as a one-time award with a defined 21-month project period running from December 1, 2009 through August 31, 2011. HRSA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $998,202. The award is issued as a grant, falls under the health activity category, and is tied to CFDA 93.703 (ARRA Grants to Health Center Programs). The posting date was August 11, 2009, and the application deadline was September 14, 2009 (with the archive date listed as December 13, 2009). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute allowable non-federal resources consistent with the program rules.
Eligibility is broad but specific in practical terms. HRSA allows public entities and nonprofit private entities to apply, including tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. However, applicants must be proposing to serve the same service area and/or the populations identified in Appendix E for this competition, and they must be able to cover the full announced geography and the full patient population currently being served. HRSA emphasizes continuity and completeness: competing organizations must (a) provide services to the entire announced service area, (b) provide services to the entire existing population (not just a subset), and (c) deliver the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are currently provided. In addition, applicants must (d) use federal funding to serve the patients currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the existing grantee currently receives, including any special population funding (such as migrant health, services for people experiencing homelessness, and public housing programs) if those apply.
The eligibility language also clarifies what kinds of organizations HRSA expects to see competing. Applicants may be new organizations or existing grantees, but they must have at least one health care facility physically located in the service area or must be able to establish a facility there within 120 days of the grant award. HRSA also allows consortium approaches, where multiple health centers partner so that, together, they can serve the entire service area and meet the full-scope requirements. Overall, the competition is designed to select a single entity (or coordinated partnership) capable of taking responsibility for comprehensive, accessible primary care across both counties without reducing the breadth of services, the geographic coverage, or the patient population served.
For applicants or stakeholders who need the full announcement and have trouble accessing it online, HRSA directed inquiries to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone support via 877-464-4772.
