Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11-011) is a discretionary grant program offered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund the operation of comprehensive primary health care services in medically underserved areas or for medically underserved populations. In plain terms, HRSA uses this competition to select and fund organizations that will run a full-scope Health Center Program site (or network of sites) in specific service areas or for specific populations that HRSA has publicly listed for competition in Appendix D of the program guidance and/or on Grants.gov.
This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the Health funding activity category. HRSA projected making about 77 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $64,824,000. The CFDA number tied to this opportunity is 93.224, which corresponds to the Consolidated Health Centers program (covering Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, meaning the program does not require the applicant to provide a specific non-federal match as a condition of applying (though applicants still generally need to show a realistic budget and operational sustainability).
Eligibility is limited to public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA specifically notes that eligible organizations can include tribal, faith-based, and community-based organizations. To be eligible, an applicant must propose to serve a service area and/or population that is specifically identified for competition in Appendix D. The opportunity is also relevant to existing Health Center Program grantees whose project periods are ending within the specified window (on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011), since SACs are commonly used to recompete service areas as existing awards expire.
A central expectation of SAC is that applicants propose to serve the entire service area and/or the full population identified in Appendix D, not just a portion of it. HRSA allows consortium approaches as well, meaning a partnership or consortium of health centers may apply if, together, they can cover the entire defined service area/population. HRSA also limits submissions so that only one SAC application per applicant organization may be considered under a single announcement number in FY 2011. If an organization submits multiple applications under the same announcement number, HRSA will only accept the last application received in Grants.gov and will not review earlier submissions from that same organization.
Programmatically, SAC applications must request Section 330 funding to operate a health center that provides the required comprehensive set of services. HRSA emphasizes that applicants must deliver comprehensive primary and preventive care, plus enabling services and additional services as appropriate. The description explicitly calls out oral health care, mental health care, and substance use disorder services, which can be provided directly on-site or through formal established arrangements (for example, written agreements or contracts). The grant is not intended to support a narrow, single-service proposal; for instance, applicants cannot apply to provide only dental services or only mental health services. Services must be offered without regard to ability to pay, reflecting core Health Center Program requirements.
HRSA also requires that proposed access be available to all individuals in the targeted service area or population. Applicants cannot design a project that exclusively serves only one age group (such as children only), one life stage (such as geriatrics only), or only one disease or condition category (such as HIV/AIDS only). If an applicant proposes to focus outreach or programming on a particular subpopulation within the defined area or population (for example, homeless youth or students in schools), HRSA expects the applicant to clearly demonstrate how services will still be available to other individuals who need care and who may present at the proposed site(s).
Key administrative dates included a posted date of August 25, 2010, with an application closing date of October 29, 2010 (the original and current closing dates match), and an archive date of December 27, 2010. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to HRSA’s online materials (including a specific HRSA grants link) and could contact the HRSA Call Center for help accessing the announcement or resolving submission issues via email at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (877-Go4-HRSA), with an additional line listed as 301-998-7373.
