Opportunity Summary:
Service Area Competitions Additional Areas (HRSA-09-214) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.224, the Consolidated Health Centers program. It is built around the Health Center Program authorized by section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, which is designed to strengthen community-based primary care systems in medically underserved areas and improve health outcomes for underserved populations. The practical goal of this specific competition is continuity: it directs funds to ensure that comprehensive primary and preventive health care services keep operating in certain defined service areas where an existing section 330 grantee had its continuation application not approved. In other words, HRSA is trying to prevent a lapse or loss of access to safety-net care in communities that still need it, even though the prior grantee is no longer continuing under the program.
Applicants are expected to propose a plan that clearly protects access to care for the community and directly addresses health disparities already present in the service area and target population. The emphasis is not simply on running a clinic, but on maintaining a full scope of comprehensive primary and preventive services in a way that is responsive to documented local needs. Proposals should be tightly aligned with the realities of the existing community, showing how the applicant will step in and sustain services for the same defined area, rather than proposing an unrelated expansion or a loosely connected project.
Eligibility is broad and includes both public and private nonprofit entities, including tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations, as long as they propose to serve the existing defined areas identified for this competition. While the listing highlights community health center requirements under section 330(e), the announcement also notes that applicants must demonstrate compliance with the specific statutory requirements tied to the particular health center type for which they seek funding. Those requirements are laid out in section 330(e) for Community Health Centers, 330(g) for Migrant Health Centers, 330(h) for Health Care for the Homeless, and 330(i) for Public Housing Primary Care. The application materials were expected to include additional eligibility and compliance details beyond what is summarized in the basic posting.
The funding instrument is a grant, with an estimated total funding level of $1,500,000 and an anticipated three awards. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to document and budget for required non-federal contributions as specified in the full notice. The announcement was posted January 15, 2009, with an application deadline of February 16, 2009, and it was archived March 31, 2009, indicating it is a past competition but still useful as a reference for how HRSA structures these service area continuity awards.
For access issues or help obtaining the full announcement, HRSA directed applicants to the HRSA Call Center via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) or 301-998-7373. The full opportunity information was hosted through HRSAs grants portal at the link provided in the notice.
