Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-016) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on ensuring continued access to comprehensive primary health care in communities that are underserved. The basic idea is that HRSA periodically opens a competitive process for specific, pre-identified service areas or populations listed in the announcement materials (referenced as Appendix F and also posted through Grants.gov). Organizations then compete to become, or remain, the federally funded provider responsible for delivering full-scope health center primary care services for that entire announced area or population.
This SAC notice falls under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers, which covers Community Health Centers as well as special population programs such as Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is health, and the opportunity anticipated around 40 awards with an estimated total funding level of about $5.4 million. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of applying.
Eligibility is limited and tightly tied to the specific service areas and populations HRSA has announced for competition. Applicants must be public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations as potentially eligible. Two broad applicant types are contemplated: (1) existing grantees whose project periods fall within the time windows identified in the application materials, and (2) new organizations proposing to take over responsibility for the entire announced service area and/or population. HRSA also allows for a consortium model, where an organization representing a partnership of health centers applies on the basis that, together, the consortium can cover the full service area and population.
A key feature of SAC is that it is not a partial-service or limited-population competition. Competing organizations must propose to serve the entire announced service area and the entire population currently being served. Applications are not allowed to carve out only a segment of the existing patient population. In addition, applicants must propose to provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are presently being provided to that population, demonstrating continuity of access and breadth of services rather than a narrowed program. Applicants must also plan to use federal funding to serve the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, reinforcing that the competition is designed to maintain services in place rather than create a new, separate footprint that excludes existing patients.
Budget expectations are also constrained. Applicants are expected to request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the current grantee receives for the service area, including any special population funding streams associated with migrant, homeless, or public housing programs. In practice, that means the competition is about selecting the best-qualified organization to deliver required services efficiently and effectively within roughly the same federal funding level, rather than expanding federal dollars through the application.
Key dates listed for this announcement include a posted date of May 8, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 17, 2009, and an archive date of January 16, 2010. The full announcement and related materials were made available through HRSA and Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided in the source. For applicants that have trouble accessing the announcement electronically, HRSA directed questions to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.gov) and provided phone contact options (877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373).
