Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (HRSA-13-224) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to ensure continued and reliable access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities. The goal is to support health centers that deliver culturally competent, high-quality care to vulnerable populations by funding the ongoing operation of a health center within a specifically announced service area. HRSA uses this competition to select which organization will operate and receive Health Center Program support for a particular geographic area and its designated patient populations.
This funding announcement covers multiple types of Health Center Program projects authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, including Community Health Centers (CHC, 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, 330(i)). In practical terms, HRSA is seeking applicants that can run a full-scope health center model, not a single-service clinic. Applicants are expected to provide required comprehensive primary and preventive services as well as enabling services, either directly at the site or through established formal arrangements, and to do so without regard to a patient’s ability to pay.
Eligibility is tied to HRSA’s published Service Area Announcement Table, meaning an applicant must propose to serve one of the specific service areas and populations that HRSA has put up for competition. Eligible applicants can include certain public entities (state, county, city/township, special district governments, and independent school districts) as well as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and certain Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments, as listed in the announcement). HRSA also allows several common applicant situations: an existing Health Center Program grantee whose project period is ending within the defined window and that wants to continue serving its current service area; an organization that is not currently funded under the Health Center Program that proposes to serve the entire announced service area; or an existing grantee that proposes to take on an entire announced service area in addition to its current area.
The FOA places several important limits and operational expectations on applicants. Only one application may be submitted per applicant under a single SAC announcement number, so an organization cannot submit multiple competing applications for the same service area. The proposal must be for operation of a health center that delivers the full required scope of services; proposals limited to only one service line (for example, dental-only, behavioral health-only, or prenatal-only) are not allowed. Applicants must also ensure access to services for all individuals in the service area and target population. Even if the applicant is focusing outreach on a particular subpopulation within the area (such as homeless children, LGBTQ individuals, or adolescents in schools), the health center must still make services available to others who seek care at the proposed sites.
Funding requests must stay within HRSA’s stated cap for the announced service area. Applicants must request annual section 330 funds that do not exceed the maximum amount HRSA has established for that service area and its designated populations (as reflected in the SF-424A budget form). The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specified non-federal match as a condition of the award, although health centers typically use a mix of federal funding, patient revenue, and other support to operate.
From an awards and timing perspective, the opportunity anticipated 18 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $16,755,198 under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). The opportunity was posted June 7, 2012, with an application deadline of October 10, 2012, and it was archived December 8, 2012. The FOA indicates that HRSA will use the SAC process to apply eligibility rules, review criteria, and awarding factors to select awardees capable of delivering comprehensive, accessible primary care to underserved communities in the announced service areas.
For applicants or interested parties who need official details, HRSA provided an online link to the full announcement and a contact channel through the HRSA Contact Center (CallCenter@HRSA.gov and 877-464-4772) for access issues or questions about the opportunity.
