Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-089) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.224, focused on supporting Health Center Program services for medically underserved and vulnerable populations across the United States and its territories. The central purpose of SAC is to ensure continued or expanded access to comprehensive, community-based primary health care in specific HRSA-designated service areas. These awards are part of the broader Health Center Program, which funds more than 1,100 health centers operating over 8,100 sites nationwide, including every state, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. The program emphasizes patient-directed, locally responsive care aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing disparities in high-need communities.
Funding under this opportunity is provided as a grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $82,042,248 and an expected 33 awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted June 14, 2011, created June 20, 2011, and closed August 29, 2011 (with an archive date of October 28, 2011), reflecting a competitive cycle tied to maintaining service continuity in areas where HRSA support is being competed.
Eligibility is specific and tied to both organizational type and the particular service areas announced by HRSA. Applicants must be public entities or private nonprofit organizations, which can include tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and other community-based nonprofits. To apply, an organization must propose to serve a service area and related population listed in the Service Area Announcement Table referenced by HRSA. Eligible applicant types include: current Health Center Program grantees whose project period ends within the stated window and who are seeking to continue serving their existing service area; organizations that are not currently funded through the Health Center Program but propose to serve an entire announced service area; and existing Health Center Program grantees seeking to take on an entire announced service area in addition to the one they already serve. The rules also restrict applicants to submitting only one application per SAC announcement number, and applicants seeking to apply for two different service areas under the same announcement must coordinate with HRSA (specifically the Office of Policy and Program Development).
Programmatically, SAC applications must align with core Health Center Program requirements. Applicants must request Section 330 funding to operate a health center that provides required comprehensive services, including primary and preventive care, enabling services, and additional health services, delivered either directly on-site or through formal agreements. A key limitation is that an applicant cannot propose a narrowly limited scope, such as offering only dental, only behavioral health, or only prenatal services; the expectation is a full, comprehensive primary care health center model. Another major requirement is access without regard to ability to pay, consistent with the Health Center Program mission to remove financial barriers for underserved patients.
The opportunity also stresses broad access within the service area or target population. Applicants are not allowed to design a proposal that exclusively serves only one age group (such as only children or only older adults) or only one disease or condition category (such as only HIV/AIDS). If an applicant targets a particular subpopulation within the service area (for example, homeless children or students at a school-based site), they must still ensure that services are available to others in need who seek care at the proposed site or sites. Financially, applicants must stay within HRSA-established funding limits: the annual federal Section 330 amount requested (as shown on the SF-424A budget form) cannot exceed the capped amount set for the announced service area and its designated population. The application package is also constrained by a strict length limit, with a maximum of 150 pages when printed by HRSA, with the page count determined by specified document tables in the announcement.
For support and access issues, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.gov and 877-464-4772, with a TTY number also provided) and provided an additional information link to the HRSA grants portal where the full announcement details and service area tables were available.
