Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11-007) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers. Its purpose is to award federal financial assistance to organizations that will provide comprehensive primary health care services in an underserved service area or to an underserved population. These service areas and/or populations are not open-ended; they are specifically identified through a competitive announcement process and listed in Appendix D of the program guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to ensure continued access to full-scope primary care in places or for groups where HRSA has determined that a competition is needed to select the organization best positioned to deliver those services.
Funding under this opportunity was expected to support 54 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted on August 25, 2010, with an application closing date of October 25, 2010, and it was later archived on December 23, 2010. The assistance mechanism is a grant, and the overall activity category is health.
Eligibility is limited to public entities and nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly notes that this can include tribal organizations as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. Applicants must be proposing to serve the same service area and/or the same populations identified in Appendix D. HRSA also allows both current grantees and new organizations to compete, as long as they meet the stated conditions. Specifically included are existing grantees whose project periods end on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011. New applicants are eligible as well, but they must be able to serve the entire announced service area and/or population; HRSA also clarifies that a consortium of health centers may apply if, through partnership, the consortium can collectively serve the full area and/or population.
A central feature of the SAC program is that it is not intended to fund partial coverage or scaled-down services. Competing organizations must commit to serving the entire announced service area and the entire population currently being served; applications cannot propose covering only a segment of the existing patient population. Applicants must also provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are currently being delivered to that population. In addition, applicants are expected to use the federal funding to serve the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, reinforcing the continuity-of-care intent of the competition. Finally, applicants must request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the current grantee receives, including any special population funding streams (such as migrant health, health care for the homeless, and public housing-related programs). This constraint signals that the competition is focused on selecting the strongest operator for the service obligation rather than expanding the federal award amount.

Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the HRSA Call Center by email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA), with an alternate number listed as 301-998-7373.
