Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (HRSA-09-210) grant opportunity, offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is a discretionary federal grant program designed to ensure that comprehensive primary health care services continue in specific underserved communities or for specific underserved populations. In plain terms, HRSA is putting certain service areas and populations up for competition, and organizations must apply to become (or remain) the provider responsible for delivering the full scope of required health center services in those announced areas. The opportunity is tied to service areas and/or populations that have been officially listed through a competitive announcement, referenced in Appendix F of the program guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov.
The funding supports the Consolidated Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224), which covers community health centers as well as health center services targeted to special populations, including migrant health, health care for people experiencing homelessness, and public housing primary care programs. The intent is not to fund a small pilot or a limited clinic, but to fund organizations that can run a full, comprehensive primary care safety-net operation for the entire announced service area and the full population currently being served there.
HRSA anticipated making 3 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,800,000. Because this is a grant competition focused on continuity of care in defined service areas, applicants are expected to take responsibility for patients already being served with federal support and to maintain comparable service levels. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the award is not necessarily expected to be the sole source of support and applicants must meet the program's cost-sharing expectations as described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to public or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations as eligible, as long as they meet all competition requirements. The opportunity is open both to certain existing grantees and to new organizations. It includes current grantees whose project periods end on or after October 31, 2008 and before October 1, 2009, as well as new applicants that can serve the entire announced service area and/or population. HRSA also allows a consortium approach, where a partnership or consortium of health centers applies together, provided that through that partnership they can truly cover the entire service area and/or population specified in Appendix F.
A major feature of this competition is that partial coverage is not acceptable. Competing organizations must propose to serve the entire announced service area and must continue serving the entire population currently being served. Applicants are not allowed to propose serving only a subset of the population. They also must provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are already being provided, and they must use the federal funds to serve the patients who are currently supported by the existing grantee. In addition, HRSA requires applicants to request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the existing grantee currently receives for that service area, including any special population funding streams (migrant, homeless, and public housing). This structure makes the competition less about expanding budgets and more about selecting the best-qualified organization to maintain full, uninterrupted primary care services for vulnerable communities.
Key dates for this opportunity were a posted date of November 19, 2008, with an application closing date of December 22, 2008, and an archive date of June 30, 2009. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health.
