Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-025) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Its purpose is to support health centers that deliver comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care to underserved communities and vulnerable populations. In practical terms, this competition funds operational support for organizations that will serve an "announced service area" under the federal Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended.
The FOA is specifically aimed at organizations seeking Health Center Program funding for one or more of the major section 330 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)). HRSA uses the term "health center" broadly in this announcement to include any of these models, reflecting the fact that the program supports a range of providers and settings, all focused on improving access to primary care for populations that face barriers to care.
This announcement lays out the key rules of the SAC process, including eligibility requirements, how applications will be reviewed, and the factors HRSA considers when making awards. While the summary information does not list the detailed criteria itself, it points applicants to the FOA (noting that eligibility requirements are described on pages 4 and 5 of that document). The SAC structure generally indicates that HRSA is looking for applicants that can demonstrate readiness and capacity to operate as a Health Center Program grantee for the specified service area, consistent with federal health center expectations and requirements.
The program falls under CFDA 93.224, titled Consolidated Health Centers (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). HRSA anticipated making 59 awards under this particular funding cycle. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a match as a condition of the award.
A wide variety of applicant types are eligible to apply, reflecting the many organizational forms that can operate health center services. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. The FOA also references an "Others" category with clarification provided in the full announcement, so applicants that do not neatly fit one of the standard categories are directed to confirm eligibility in the FOA text.
Key administrative details for this cycle include a posted date of June 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of October 9, 2013, and an archive date of December 8, 2013. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of 0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by service area and are specified or determined through the competition and HRSA’s funding decisions rather than being published as a single fixed minimum or maximum in this summary record.
Applicants and interested parties are directed to the full announcement via the HRSA grants link provided. For access problems or general assistance, HRSA’s Call Center is the primary point of contact, reachable by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA).
