Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-017) is a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to ensure that underserved communities continue to receive comprehensive primary health care services. In plain terms, HRSA uses this competition when it has identified specific geographic service areas and/or specific underserved populations that must be served, and it invites eligible organizations to compete to provide those services. The areas and populations open for competition are those publicly announced in Appendix F of the program guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov. The goal is continuity and accountability in federally supported health center services by awarding funds to applicants that can best deliver required care across the full announced service area or population.
This opportunity falls under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers (which includes Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). HRSA anticipated making about 23 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $5,400,000. The instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specific non-federal share as a condition of the award (though typical health center programs still expect sound financial planning and compliance with program requirements).
Eligibility is limited and very specific because the competition is tied to service areas and populations already being served by existing HRSA-supported grantees. 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. Applicants are expected to propose services for the same service area(s) and/or the same population(s) identified in the application materials and Appendix F. The competition is not meant for applicants who want to serve only part of the area or only a subset of the people currently receiving care.
HRSA outlines several core conditions that competing organizations must meet. They must (a) provide services to the entire announced service area, (b) serve the entire population currently being served (not just a segment), (c) provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are currently being delivered, (d) use federal funding to serve the patients currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an equal or lower amount of federal funding than what the current grantee receives, including any special population funding streams (such as migrant, homeless, and public housing program funds). These requirements reinforce that SAC is fundamentally a continuity competition: HRSA is not looking to shrink coverage or narrow services, but rather to ensure full, comparable care continues under the strongest possible applicant.
The applicant pool can include certain incumbent grantees and new organizations, but only if they can credibly take responsibility for the full scope of service. The text indicates eligibility for grantees whose project periods fall within specified windows (the announcement references project periods ending in certain date ranges) as well as new organizations proposing to serve the entire service area and/or population described in Appendix F. HRSA also allows for consortium-based applicants, meaning a partnership of health centers or organizations can apply together if, through collaboration, they can cover the full required service area and population. Additional eligibility details and any further conditions were to be provided in the application materials themselves.
Key dates from the posting include a posted date of May 8, 2009, with a closing date of December 21, 2009 (original and current closing dates match), and an archive date of February 19, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement, HRSA directed applicants to its call center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and provided phone contact options (877-Go4-HRSA / 877-464-4772 and 301-998-7373). The opportunity also included an external link to HRSA’s grant posting page for full guidance and application instructions.
