Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-10-012) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to ensure continued access to comprehensive primary health care in specific underserved communities. In plain terms, HRSA periodically opens a competition for certain pre-identified service areas or patient populations, and organizations compete to become (or remain) the federally funded provider responsible for delivering health center services in those locations. The areas and populations up for competition are announced in the program guidance (notably Appendix F) and/or posted through Grants.gov, and applicants are expected to propose a full replacement for the existing federal service footprint rather than a partial or limited proposal.
This opportunity is tied to the Health Center Program umbrella (CFDA 93.224), which covers consolidated health center funding streams such as Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The purpose is continuity and accountability: HRSA uses service area competitions to re-compete federal resources when a current grantee reaches the end of a project period or when HRSA otherwise determines that a competitive process is needed. The result is a competitively selected organization that will deliver comprehensive primary care to medically underserved communities and special populations, consistent with health center expectations.
Funding is provided as a grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,400,000 and an anticipated 38 awards under this particular announcement. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies (the notice indicates that matching is required, though the exact structure and percentage would be detailed in the full application guidance). The posting date for this archived competition was May 8, 2009, with an application deadline of July 20, 2009, and the record was later archived on September 18, 2009. While those dates are historical for this specific posting, the structure reflects how SAC cycles are typically administered: HRSA identifies the service areas, publishes the competition, and requires applicants to demonstrate they can take responsibility for the full scope of care in the announced geography and/or for the announced population.
Eligibility is limited to public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations as eligible, so long as they can meet all competition requirements for the specific service area or population listed in the application materials. The competition is not open-ended; applicants must propose to serve the same service area(s) and/or the same population(s) currently served by the existing HRSA-funded grantee identified in the SAC materials. Both current grantees approaching the end of their project periods and new applicant organizations may apply, including a consortium model where multiple health centers formally partner in order to cover the entire required area and/or population.
A central feature of SAC eligibility is the requirement to maintain full continuity of service. Competing organizations must (a) provide services to the entire announced service area, (b) provide services to the entire population currently being served, meaning applicants cannot propose to cover only a subset of patients, (c) provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services currently being delivered, (d) use federal funding to serve patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than the amount currently received by the existing grantee, including any special population funding components (migrant, homeless, and public housing). Practically, this means HRSA is not looking for a scaled-down proposal or a new model that drops certain services or patient groups; the applicant must demonstrate it can fully assume responsibility for the established federal health center role in that community.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or having technical difficulties, the notice points to the HRSA Call Center as the primary support channel (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and the listed phone numbers). The detailed requirements, including any additional eligibility conditions and the specific service areas/populations included in Appendix F for that cycle, would be found in the complete funding opportunity guidance and associated application materials.
