Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-15-011) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support health centers that serve underserved communities and vulnerable populations. The central purpose is to ensure people in high-need areas can access comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care. In practical terms, HRSA uses this competition to select organizations that will operate a Health Center Program service area and deliver ongoing primary care and enabling services to the patients in that area.
This announcement invites applications for operational support under the federal Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. The competition covers multiple health center types, including 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)). The FOA uses the term "health center" broadly to refer to any of these section 330-supported models, recognizing that the target populations and service delivery settings can differ (for example, migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, people experiencing homelessness, or residents of public housing), but that the expectation of accessible primary care and accountable operations remains consistent.
The SAC FOA explains how applicants must qualify and how applications are evaluated, including eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors. While the detailed, formal eligibility rules are contained in the FOA itself (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5), the basic premise is that applicants are competing to be the designated operator for an announced service area under the Health Center Program. Funding is specifically for operational support, meaning the grant is intended to help run and sustain the delivery of required health center services in that service area rather than being a one-time, narrowly scoped project.
Funding details indicate an estimated total program funding level of about $88,000,000 with an expected 35 awards. The listing is tied to CFDA number 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible applicants that may not have flexible funds available for match requirements. The posted date was June 25, 2014, and the application closing date was August 27, 2014 (with the same date shown as both original and current closing). The opportunity was later archived on October 26, 2014, meaning it is no longer open, but the summary remains useful for understanding SAC competitions as HRSA periodically runs similar service area competitions.
A wide range of entities are identified as eligible applicant types, reflecting the many ways community-based primary care can be organized and governed. Eligible applicants include state governments; county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The FOA also notes that additional eligibility clarification may appear in a separate section, reinforcing that applicants must carefully confirm they meet every eligibility requirement specified in the full announcement.
For applicant support, HRSA provides a grants application contact point through the HRSA Grants Application Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, along with an email address (BPHCSAC@hrsa.gov). The contact person listed is Beth Hartmayer, reachable by phone at (301) 594-4300, and applicants who cannot access the announcement electronically are directed to contact HRSA for assistance.
