Opportunity Summary:

The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-024) is a discretionary grant program run 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 overall purpose is to sustain or expand access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary care by funding operational support for a specifically announced service area under the federal Health Center Program. In practical terms, this competition is designed for organizations that want to operate (or continue operating) a federally supported health center project in a defined geographic or population-based service area that HRSA has opened for competition.

The announcement covers several types of Section 330 health center projects authorized under the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. Applicants may be seeking support under one or more of the following Health Center Program categories: Community Health Center (CHC, Section 330(e)), Migrant Health Center (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 notice to include any of these eligible Section 330-funded models, reflecting that the program serves diverse communities such as rural and urban medically underserved areas, agricultural workers and their families, people experiencing homelessness, and residents of public housing.

This FOA emphasizes that it is a competition tied to an "announced service area," meaning applicants are competing to receive the federal award to provide Health Center Program services in that designated area or to the designated target population. The FOA indicates it includes the key rules for participating in the competition, including eligibility requirements, how applications will be reviewed, and the factors HRSA will consider when making awards. While the summarized source data does not list the detailed scoring elements, the notice makes clear that organizations must satisfy the eligibility requirements described in the FOA (specifically referenced as being on pages 4 and 5 of the announcement) to be considered.

The funding mechanism is a grant, and the activity category is health. The opportunity lists an expected 18 awards. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.224, identified as "Consolidated Health Centers" (covering Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). No cost sharing or matching is required, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specific non-federal share as a condition of the award, though normal program expectations around budgets and allowable costs would still apply.

Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of public and nonprofit entities. Examples listed include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The FOA notes that additional clarification may exist in the full announcement, and that applicants must meet all the FOA eligibility requirements to apply.

Key administrative details from the posting include a posted date of June 13, 2013, with an application closing date of September 11, 2013 (original and current closing dates are the same). The record shows a creation date of August 16, 2013, and an archive date of November 10, 2013, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer open. The listed award floor and ceiling are both shown as 0 in the source data, which typically means the specific funding amounts are not captured in that summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full FOA or the service area-specific funding information.

For applicants or researchers needing the full official announcement, HRSA provided an external link to the FOA and a contact route through the HRSA Call Center. Assistance was available by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, including support for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
