Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-013) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund the continued delivery of comprehensive primary health care in specific underserved service areas or for specific underserved populations. The central idea is that HRSA periodically opens certain existing health center service areas to competition, and qualified organizations can apply to take over and operate those services, ensuring patients in that area or population continue to receive comparable care. The service areas and populations eligible for competition are those specifically announced in the opportunity guidance (Appendix F) and/or posted on Grants.gov.
This opportunity is tied to the Consolidated Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224), which covers Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The expectation is not to create a smaller or narrower project, but to maintain a full, comprehensive primary care footprint comparable to what is already being provided in that location or to that population. In other words, SAC is designed to preserve access and continuity of care when HRSA has determined a service area should be recompeted, rather than leaving gaps in primary care availability.
Funding is provided through grants, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,400,000 and an anticipated 36 awards. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants must be prepared to meet any stated non-federal contribution expectations described in the full application materials. The program’s activity category is Health, consistent with its role in supporting safety-net primary care services.
Eligibility is limited to public or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations as potentially eligible applicants, as long as they meet all program requirements. Applicants must propose to serve the same service area(s) and/or population(s) that are currently served by the existing grantee(s) identified in the application materials. The competition is structured so that an applicant cannot propose to serve only part of the announced geography or only a subset of the current patients; they must be capable of covering the entire announced service area and the entire population currently being served.
The competition requirements are specific and restrictive to protect continuity and scope of services. Competing organizations must: (a) provide services to the entire announced service area; (b) provide services to the entire population currently being served, without carving out only a segment; (c) provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are presently provided; (d) use federal funds to serve patients currently served by the existing grantee; and (e) request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than the existing grantee currently receives, including any special population funding streams (migrant, homeless, and public housing). HRSA also notes that new organizations may apply, including a consortium model where multiple health centers partner together to demonstrate they can serve the full area and/or population.
Key dates shown in the source information include a posted date of May 8, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2009, and an archive date of October 17, 2009, indicating this particular announcement is historical. Applicants needing the full announcement were directed to HRSA’s materials and Appendix F, and HRSA provided support through its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and phone support) for anyone who had difficulty accessing the announcement electronically.
