Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11-008) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund organizations that will deliver comprehensive primary health care services in specific underserved communities or to underserved populations. The core idea is competitive selection: HRSA identifies particular service areas and/or populations that need continued access to health center services and then invites qualified applicants to compete to provide those services, as listed in Appendix D of the program guidance and/or posted on Grants.gov. In practical terms, SAC is used when a defined service area is up for competition, often tied to the end of a current grantee's project period, to ensure continuity of care and strong performance through an open application process.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the Health activity category. The CFDA number listed is 93.224, which corresponds to Consolidated Health Centers, including Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. HRSA anticipated making about 48 awards under this specific competition cycle, with an estimated total funding amount of $118,692,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award, although programs like this typically still expect strong budgeting, reasonable cost allocation, and compliance with federal grant rules.
Eligibility is limited but broad within the safety-net healthcare space. Applicants may be public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. Eligibility also extends to organizations proposing to serve the same service area and/or population identified in Appendix D. This includes existing grantees whose project period ends on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011, as well as new organizations capable of taking responsibility for the entire announced scope of work. HRSA also allows consortium approaches, where a partnership of health centers applies together as a single proposed provider arrangement, as long as the partnership can collectively serve the entire service area and/or population.
A key feature of SAC is that applicants cannot propose a partial takeover or a narrower set of services than what is already being provided. Competing organizations must agree to serve the entire announced service area and must serve the entire population currently being served, rather than selecting only certain subgroups. They must provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services already being delivered, and they must use federal funding to continue serving the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee. Financially, applicants are expected to request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the existing grantee currently receives, including any dedicated funding tied to special populations such as migrant health, homeless services, and public housing programs. These conditions are designed to protect continuity of care, prevent service gaps, and avoid incentives for applicants to "cherry-pick" easier-to-serve patients or reduce service scope.
The timeline information indicates the opportunity was posted on August 25, 2010, with an original closing date of October 26, 2010 and a revised current closing date of November 3, 2010. The record shows creation on November 4, 2010 and an archive date of December 24, 2010, which signals that this specific posting is historical and no longer open, though it reflects the structure and rules that commonly characterize SAC cycles.
