Opportunity Summary:

The Service Area Competitions - Additional Areas grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-003) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund organizations that will deliver comprehensive primary health care in a specifically identified underserved service area or to an underserved population. In this particular announcement, HRSA is running a competitive process for only one service area: Clarendon, Arkansas. The intent is to ensure that residents in the announced area continue to have access to a full range of community health center-style primary care services, especially where needs are high and local resources are limited.

This opportunity is part of the Consolidated Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224), which covers community health centers and related special population health center programs (including migrant health centers, health care for the homeless, and public housing primary care, where applicable). Funding is awarded through a grant mechanism, and the program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant must meet specified contribution requirements described in the full guidance. HRSA expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $859,221.

Eligible applicants are public entities or nonprofit private entities. HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations among those that may apply, as long as they meet the program and service area requirements. The competition is geared toward organizations that propose to serve the same service area and/or populations identified by HRSA in the related appendices referenced in the guidance (the announcement notes Appendix E and Appendix F). Applicants may be new organizations or existing grantees, but they must demonstrate the ability to operate in the announced area. HRSA allows applicants that already have at least one health care facility physically located in the service area, as well as applicants that plan to establish a facility within 120 days of the grant award. HRSA also allows consortium-based applicants, where partnering organizations together can credibly serve the entire area and population described in the announcement.

A key feature of this competition is that applicants cannot propose a partial or scaled-down service approach compared to what is already being provided. Competing organizations must propose to cover the entire announced service area and must serve the entire population currently being served in that area (meaning the applicant cannot target only a subset of existing patients). The applicant must also provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are presently being delivered to the community, and they must use the federal funds to serve the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee. In addition, HRSA requires that the federal funding request be equal to or less than the amount currently received by the existing grantee, including any funding associated with special population components (such as migrant, homeless, or public housing, if those apply in the service area). These requirements reflect HRSA's focus on continuity of care and avoiding gaps or reductions in access when service areas are recompeted.

The timeline provided in the notice shows the opportunity was posted on August 10, 2009, with an application deadline of September 11, 2009, and an archive date of December 11, 2009. While those dates indicate this specific notice is historical, the structure illustrates how HRSA uses service area competitions to re-award or re-compete funding for a defined geography when it has been publicly announced. For applicants or researchers looking for the original announcement details, HRSA referenced an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site. For technical help accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed users to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone contact options (including 877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373).
