Opportunity Summary:
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Service Area Competition (SAC) funding opportunity (HRSA-13-220) is a discretionary grant program under the Health Center Program that provides operational support for health centers serving underserved communities and vulnerable populations. The purpose is to ensure people in the announced service areas can access comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care, including required preventive and enabling services, without regard to a person s ability to pay. The competition covers multiple Section 330 health center types authorized under the Public Health Service Act: Community Health Centers (CHC, 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, 330(i)). In this context, HRSA uses the term health center broadly to include any of those Section 330 models.
SAC is structured around specific, pre-announced geographic service areas and their associated target populations, which HRSA lists in a Service Area Announcement Table referenced in the notice. Applicants compete to receive Section 330 grant support to operate a health center that serves the entire announced service area. HRSA outlines three main applicant situations: competing continuation applicants (current Health Center Program grantees whose project periods are ending within the specified window and who want to continue serving their existing service area), new applicants (organizations not currently funded through the Health Center Program that propose to take on an entire announced service area), and supplemental applicants (current grantees that want to add an entire announced service area in addition to their current one). The emphasis is on maintaining or establishing full-service primary care capacity for the whole service area, rather than funding narrow or single-service projects.
Eligibility is limited to public entities or nonprofit private entities, including tribal, faith-based, and community-based organizations, along with various government entities such as state, county, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts. Nonprofit applicants must typically have 501(c)(3) status (and the listing notes nonprofits other than institutions of higher education). A key requirement is that the applicant must submit only one application under a single SAC announcement number; organizations that want to apply for more than one service area under the same announcement are instructed to contact HRSA for guidance.
Programmatically, the application must propose a full health center operation that delivers the required comprehensive primary, preventive, and enabling services either directly at the proposed site(s) or through established arrangements. HRSA explicitly states applicants cannot propose to offer only a single service line such as dental only, behavioral health only, or prenatal only. The proposal must also ensure access for all individuals in the service area and target population, meaning an applicant cannot design the project to exclusively serve only one age group (for example, only children or only seniors) or only one disease or condition category (for example, only HIV). Targeting a subpopulation is allowed (such as homeless children, LGBT individuals, or students in schools), but the health center still must make services available to other people in need who seek care at the proposed sites.
Financially, the FOA indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Applicants must request annual federal Section 330 funding that does not exceed the cap established for the announced service area and its designated population(s), and they must align that request with the SF-424A budget forms. For this specific competition, HRSA anticipated 11 awards with an estimated total funding amount of 12,560,934 under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted June 7, 2012, with an original closing date of July 25, 2012 and a revised closing date of August 1, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on September 30, 2012.
Overall, the SAC opportunity is essentially HRSA s mechanism for awarding or re-awarding operational Health Center Program grant support for defined service areas, ensuring that comprehensive primary care access continues or is newly established for underserved communities. It is designed to select organizations that can serve the full announced area, provide the full scope of required services, and operate in a way that maintains broad access regardless of ability to pay, consistent with Section 330 health center expectations. For further details and official guidance, the FOA directs applicants to HRSA resources and provides HRSA Contact Center information for technical assistance.
