Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-023) is a discretionary grant program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support health centers that deliver primary health care in underserved communities and to vulnerable populations. The purpose of the competition is to fund operational support for an announced service area under the Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended. In practical terms, SAC is designed to ensure that communities continue to have access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary care services by selecting an organization to provide health center services for a defined geographic or population-based service area.
This FOA covers multiple types of section 330-supported health centers, including 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)). HRSA uses the term "health center" broadly in this announcement to refer to any of these eligible health center models. Applicants compete to demonstrate they are best positioned to meet the needs of the announced service area and to operate in alignment with the Health Center Program expectations, with applications evaluated using eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors described in the FOA.
The opportunity was posted on June 13, 2013, with an application closing date of August 14, 2013 (and later archived on October 13, 2013). HRSA anticipated making 42 awards under this announcement. The funding is associated with CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of award under this FOA.
A wide range of entities were identified as eligible to apply, reflecting the diverse organizational structures that can operate health center services. Eligible applicant types include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), city or township governments, county governments, state governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The FOA notes that applicants must meet all eligibility requirements described in the announcement (referenced as being on pages 4 and 5), and it also references an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for clarification, signaling that eligibility may depend on specific programmatic or service-area conditions beyond organizational type.
The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. The published award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0 in the summary data, which typically means those amounts were either not specified in the dataset excerpt or were determined based on the service area and federal appropriations rather than a single fixed range presented in the synopsis. Applicants would need to consult the full FOA for the exact approach to funding levels, budgeting expectations, and how HRSA calculates or negotiates award amounts for a given service area.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (877-464-4772, also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA) and email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV. The announcement also provided an online link for the full FOA materials hosted by HRSA grants.
