Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-027) 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 purpose is to maintain and strengthen access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary care by providing operational support to 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. In this announcement, "health center" is used as an umbrella term that includes several related program types, reflecting the different populations and settings the Health Center Program is designed to reach.
This competition is specifically aimed at organizations seeking funding to operate in a defined service area under one or more of the section 330 health center categories: 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, SAC is the mechanism HRSA uses to select and fund the organization that will provide health center services for a particular geographic area or target population, ensuring continuity of care and stable operational capacity where the need is documented and HRSA has announced that an award will be made.
The FOA indicates that applications are evaluated based on eligibility requirements, review criteria, and awarding factors laid out in the full announcement (with eligibility requirements referenced as being on pages 4 and 5 of the FOA). While the short description does not list those criteria in detail, it makes clear that applicants must be prepared to demonstrate they can deliver comprehensive primary care services that are culturally competent and quality-focused, consistent with Health Center Program expectations for serving underserved and vulnerable groups. The grant is for operational support, meaning it is intended to help run and sustain the delivery of services in the service area rather than functioning as a one-time or narrowly defined project-only award.
Key administrative details from the source data include that the opportunity uses the grant funding instrument, is categorized under health, and is tied to CFDA number 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). HRSA anticipated making 54 awards under this announcement. The posting date was June 13, 2013, with an application closing date of December 4, 2013, and the opportunity later archived on February 2, 2014. The listing shows no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute a specified non-federal match as a condition of award under this FOA.
Eligibility is broad across many organizational types, reflecting the variety of entities that can sponsor health center operations. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties and cities or townships), independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, Native American tribal governments (federally recognized), and other Native American tribal organizations. The FOA also notes that additional clarifications may apply in the full text, and it emphasizes that applicants must meet all stated eligibility requirements in the announcement.
For those who need the complete announcement or have trouble accessing it, HRSA provided a link to the FOA and directs applicants to the HRSA Call Center for support (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or 877-464-4772).
