Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-009, is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support the delivery of comprehensive primary health care in areas or for populations that are considered underserved. The core purpose is to ensure continued access to health center services when a specific service area or patient population has been opened for competition, as identified in the program guidance (notably Appendix D) and/or posted through Grants.gov. In practical terms, HRSA is inviting organizations to apply to take responsibility for providing the full scope of health center primary care services for a defined geographic area and/or defined group of patients that has been formally announced as available for competition.
This opportunity is tied to the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224), which includes consolidated health center authorities such as Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. HRSA anticipated making about 33 awards under this funding cycle, with an estimated total funding level of $72.9 million. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal matching dollars as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type but specific in terms of the service commitment. Eligible applicants include public entities and nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly notes that tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations may apply. Applicants generally fall into two categories: (1) current Health Center Program grantees whose project periods are ending within the specified window (on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011) for the announced areas/populations, and (2) new organizations that can demonstrate the capacity to serve the entire announced service area and/or the entire patient population described in Appendix D. HRSA also allows a consortium approach, where a partnership of health centers applies together, as long as the consortium can serve the entire announced area/population.
A key feature of SAC is that it is a true “replacement/continuation through competition” model rather than a proposal for a smaller pilot or partial expansion. Competing organizations must propose to cover the entire announced service area and must continue serving the entire population currently being served; applicants are not allowed to propose serving only a subset of the existing patient population. They also must provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services that are currently being provided. In addition, applicants are expected to use the federal funds in a way that continues care for patients already served by the existing grantee, and their budget request must be equal to or less than the amount of federal funding currently received by the existing grantee, including any special population funding (for example, migrant, homeless, and public housing-related funding streams). These requirements are designed to prevent gaps in care and ensure continuity of services and funding levels during a competitive transition.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 25, 2010, with an application deadline of October 27, 2010 (original and final closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on December 25, 2010. HRSA provided an online announcement link for full details and directed applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement to contact the HRSA Call Center (via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772, with an alternate number listed as 301-998-7373).
Overall, this SAC funding opportunity is best understood as HRSA’s mechanism for competitively selecting the organization best positioned to maintain and deliver full, comprehensive health center primary care services for specific underserved communities or populations that HRSA has formally opened for competition, with strong emphasis on full coverage, continuity, and maintaining comparable services without requesting more federal dollars than the current provider receives.
