Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-09-225) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that supports the delivery of comprehensive primary health care services in underserved communities. The core purpose is to fund organizations that will provide primary care to a specific service area or defined population that HRSA has identified as needing continued or new health center services, and that has been formally announced for competition in Appendix F of the program guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov. In other words, HRSA is competitively selecting an organization to operate health center services for a particular geographic area and/or target population that has been listed as available for competition.
This opportunity is part of CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers, which covers Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. The announcement indicated an expectation of one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $573,365. The posting date was April 8, 2009, and the application closing date was May 7, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on June 30, 2009. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants needed to meet specified cost share expectations as described in the full guidance.
Eligible applicants were public or nonprofit private entities, explicitly including tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations, as long as they proposed to serve the same service area and/or populations identified in Appendix F. Eligibility also included certain existing grantees whose project periods were ending within a defined window (ending on or after October 31, 2009 and before October 1, 2010), as well as new organizations capable of serving the entire announced service area and/or population. HRSA also allowed applications from consortium-based arrangements, such as an organization representing a consortium of health centers that, through partnership, could collectively cover and serve the full scope of the identified service area and/or population.
Operationally, the SAC structure is meant to ensure continuity and quality of care in areas where HRSA is re-competing service responsibility, often because an existing project period is ending or because HRSA is redesignating who will provide the required comprehensive primary care services. Applicants are expected to demonstrate the capacity to deliver full-scope primary care services to the identified underserved community or population, consistent with health center program expectations, and to do so across the entire service area/population listed for competition rather than only a portion of it.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone lines at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA) and 301-998-7373.
