Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-011) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers. Its core purpose is to fund an organization to deliver comprehensive primary health care in a specific underserved service area or to a specific underserved population when that area or population has been formally opened for competition and listed in Appendix F of the program guidance and/or posted on Grants.gov. In practical terms, SAC is a way HRSA uses a competitive process to determine which qualified organization will receive federal health center funding to continue serving patients in an announced area or population, generally where an existing grantee is ending its project period and the service area is being recompeted.
The program anticipates making around 33 awards, with an estimated total funding level of about $5.4 million for the cycle referenced in the notice. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is health, and there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning applicants should expect that the award will not necessarily cover 100% of project costs and that they will need to meet whatever match expectations are laid out in the full application materials.
Eligibility is limited and highly specific. Applicants must be public entities or nonprofit private entities, which can include tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. The competition is not a general open call to start a new clinic anywhere; instead, applicants must propose to serve the same HRSA-announced service area(s) and/or the same population(s) that are currently being served by the existing grantee identified in the application materials. Both incumbent grantees (when eligible based on the project period timing defined in the guidance) and new organizations may apply, including a consortium of health centers that can demonstrate, through partnership, the capacity to cover the entire announced service area and/or population.
A key feature of SAC is that applicants must commit to maintaining full continuity of scope. Competing organizations are required to (a) provide services throughout the entire announced service area, (b) serve the entire population currently being served rather than selecting only a subset, (c) offer the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are presently being provided, (d) use the federal funding to serve the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the current grantee receives (including any special population funding such as migrant health, health care for the homeless, and public housing-related programs, when applicable). These requirements are designed to prevent service disruptions and ensure the community does not lose access to core health center services as funding transitions from one awardee to another.
Timing details in the record show the opportunity was posted May 8, 2009, with a closing date of June 23, 2009, and an archive date of August 22, 2009. For applicants or interested parties needing the complete official announcement and attachments, HRSA referenced an additional information link hosted on the HRSA grants site. The notice also provides support channels through the HRSA Call Center, including an email address (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone numbers for technical help accessing the announcement and related materials.
