Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (HRSA-14-021) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to support health centers that serve medically 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 geographic or service areas that HRSA has formally announced for competition. In practical terms, SAC is the process HRSA uses to award operational support to an organization that will deliver Health Center Program services in a defined service area, ensuring continuity of care and accountability for meeting federal health center expectations.
This announcement invites applications under the federal Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. The opportunity applies to one or more of the main section 330 health center types: Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, section 330(i)). While these categories reflect different target populations and settings, the FOA uses the term "health center" broadly to cover all of them, emphasizing a common mission of delivering primary care and enabling services to underserved groups.
The FOA lays out the eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors that applicants must satisfy to be considered for funding. Applicants are expected to meet all eligibility requirements referenced in the FOA (noted as being on pages 4 and 5 of the full announcement), which typically means demonstrating the capacity to operate as a federally supported health center in the specified service area and to comply with Health Center Program expectations. The funding being competed is described as operational support, meaning it is intended to support ongoing delivery of required services rather than being limited to a one-time project or construction activity.
Key administrative details include that this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the health activity category, with an estimated 10 awards expected. The associated CFDA number is 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers), which covers the consolidated set of section 330-supported programs including community, migrant, homeless, and public housing-related primary care. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have additional non-federal funds available to commit as a formal match.
A wide range of entities are listed as eligible applicants, reflecting the diverse organizational models that can operate health centers. Eligible categories include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), federal or non-federal tribal entities (including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and both public and private institutions of higher education. The FOA also indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," signaling that the full announcement may further refine who can apply or under what conditions. Regardless of organizational type, applicants must satisfy the FOA's stated eligibility requirements.
Important timing information in the posted record shows the FOA was posted on June 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2013, and an archive date of September 22, 2013. This indicates the specific competition described in the record is historical and no longer open, though SAC as a program mechanism has been used in multiple years. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0 in the record, which usually means the public listing does not specify a uniform minimum or maximum award amount and that amounts may instead be determined by service area need, funding formulas, or details in the full FOA.
For applicants or interested parties who need the full announcement or have trouble accessing it, HRSA provided a link to the FOA and directs questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and the phone line 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA).
