Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) funding opportunity (HRSA-15-009) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support health centers that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in underserved communities and for vulnerable populations. The central purpose is to maintain or strengthen access to essential primary care services in specific geographic or population-based service areas that HRSA has announced as open for competition. In practical terms, SAC is about ensuring that a qualifying organization is in place to operate a Health Center Program site (or network) in a given service area so patients can continue receiving care, and so gaps in access for medically underserved people are addressed.
This FOA invites applications for operational support under the Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. It specifically covers the major health center types funded under section 330, including Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). Throughout the announcement, the term "health center" is used broadly to refer to any of these section 330-supported models, meaning applicants may be competing to serve a general underserved community, migrant and seasonal farmworker populations, people experiencing homelessness, and/or residents of public housing, depending on what the announced service area requires.
The opportunity provides grant funding (not a contract) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. HRSA anticipated making about 20 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $65,000,000. The listing is associated with CFDA number 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (which encompasses CHC, MHC, HCH, and PHPC). The FOA does not specify an award floor or ceiling in the summary data provided (both are listed as 0), which typically indicates that award amounts are determined based on the needs and scope approved for each specific service area and application, as described in the full FOA.
Eligibility is open to a wide range of entity types commonly involved in public health and community-based service delivery. Examples listed include federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The FOA notes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements detailed on pages 4 and 5 of the full announcement, and it references an additional eligibility clarification field for "Others," so applicants would need to confirm their status and compliance with the specific SAC requirements in the official FOA.
Applications were originally posted June 19, 2014, with a closing date of July 30, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on September 28, 2014. While those dates place this specific announcement in the past, the summary captures how SAC competitions are structured: HRSA periodically opens competitions for particular service areas and funds an awardee to operate as the Health Center Program grantee for that area, following the program requirements and the FOA-specific review criteria and awarding factors.
For assistance accessing the full announcement or navigating the application process, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Grants Application Center (HRSA Call Center). The contact details included are HRSA Grants Application Center, 910 Clopper Road, Suite 155 South, Gaithersburg, MD 20878; phone 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA); and email CallCenter@HRSA.GOV.
