Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) funding opportunity (HRSA-13-225) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the ongoing operation of health centers serving underserved communities and vulnerable populations. The core purpose is to maintain or expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary health care in specific HRSA-announced service areas. This competition is tied to the Health Center Program authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act and covers several health center types: Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care (PHPC, section 330(i)). In practical terms, HRSA uses SAC to ensure that particular geographic service areas and their associated target populations continue to have stable, federally supported health center services when funding is available for competition.
The opportunity invites organizations to apply to serve an announced service area listed in HRSA's Service Area Announcement Table. Eligible applicants generally include state and local governments (including counties and cities/townships), special district governments, independent school districts, nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education as specified), and certain Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). HRSA makes clear that eligibility is not simply about organizational type; applicants must also align with the specific service area announcement and satisfy several programmatic requirements tied to how health centers operate under section 330.
Eligibility hinges on meeting all listed conditions. The applicant must propose to serve the specific announced service area and its associated population(s). This can include three main scenarios: an existing Health Center Program grantee whose project period ends within the stated window and that wants to continue serving its current service area; an organization not currently funded through the Health Center Program that proposes to serve the entire announced service area; or a current Health Center Program grantee that proposes to take on the entire announced service area in addition to its existing one. Applicants are limited to submitting only one application under a single SAC announcement number, which is intended to prevent multiple competing submissions from the same organization for the same service area.
A central program requirement is that section 330 funds must be used to support the operation of a full-scope health center that delivers required comprehensive primary, preventive, and enabling services, either directly at the site(s) or through established service arrangements. The FOA explicitly rejects proposals that offer only a single standalone service line (for example, only dental services, only behavioral health, or only prenatal care). Services must be provided without regard to a patient's ability to pay, which reflects the Health Center Program's safety-net mission. Applicants must also demonstrate access to services for all individuals in the service area and target population. If the applicant targets a subpopulation within that service area (examples given include homeless children, LGBT individuals, or school-based adolescents/children), the proposal still must ensure that other people who seek care at the proposed site(s) can access services as needed.
The funding request must stay within HRSA's established cap for the announced service area and designated population(s). While the listing shows award ceiling and floor as 0 (often a placeholder in summarized databases), the practical constraint is the service-area-specific cap described in the Service Area Announcement Table and reflected in the applicant's budget forms (SF-424A). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this FOA. HRSA anticipated approximately 30 awards under this competition, and the CFDA program number associated with this opportunity is 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers).
Key timing details from the notice include a posted date of June 7, 2012, an original closing date of October 31, 2012, and a current closing date of November 6, 2012 (reflecting an extension). The archive date is December 29, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer active, but the structure is still useful as a reference for how HRSA runs SAC cycles. For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement or help accessing it, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772) and the email address CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, along with an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site.
In short, SAC is HRSA's mechanism for competitively awarding operational support to ensure specific underserved service areas continue to be covered by a full-service health center model under section 330, with strict expectations around comprehensive service delivery, open access regardless of ability to pay, and budget requests that remain within the service area funding limits.
