Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-17-051) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under CFDA 93.224. It invites applications from eligible organizations to receive operational funding to deliver primary and preventive health care services in specific, announced service areas under the federal Health Center Program. The central aim is continuity of care: keeping comprehensive, high-quality, culturally competent services available for medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations that are already being served through the Health Center Program.
This funding opportunity is designed for "health centers" as that term is used in the Health Center Program, meaning patient-directed public or private nonprofit organizations that provide front-line primary care and preventive services. SAC supports several statutory health center categories authorized under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. These include Community Health Centers (CHC, Section 330(e)) serving medically underserved areas and populations; Migrant Health Centers (MHC, Section 330(g)) focused on migrant and seasonal agricultural workers and their families; Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, Section 330(h)) serving people experiencing homelessness; and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, Section 330(i)) serving residents of public housing and related communities. In this announcement, HRSA uses "health center" as an umbrella term that covers any of these funding types.
From an applicant perspective, the FOA lays out the requirements and rules for competing to provide services in a defined service area, including the eligibility requirements, how applications will be reviewed, and what factors HRSA will consider when making awards. The intent is not just to fund isolated clinical services, but to support ongoing operations that maintain access to a comprehensive model of care for patients who may otherwise face significant barriers to receiving routine primary and preventive services.
Key administrative details included in the source information are that the opportunity was posted on June 28, 2016, with an original application deadline of August 29, 2016. HRSA anticipated making approximately 51 awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided data, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in that particular summary field rather than implying no funding; applicants would normally need to consult the full FOA for award size, budget expectations, and project period details. Eligibility is summarized broadly as "Others," with clarification to be found in the FOA's eligibility section, which generally means not every entity type automatically qualifies and applicants must confirm they meet the Health Center Program requirements for the specific service area competition.
