Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-012) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to fund organizations that will deliver comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities or to underserved populations. The basic purpose is to ensure continued access to Health Center Program services in specific service areas or for specific populations that HRSA has identified for competition, as listed in Appendix D of the program guidance and/or posted on Grants.gov. In practical terms, this opportunity supports the operation of a full-scope health center model, not a narrow or single-service clinic, with an emphasis on broad access and continuity of care regardless of a patients ability to pay.
Funding under this announcement was substantial for its cycle, with an estimated total of $149,387,000 and an expected 55 awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health. The program falls under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers, which covers Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a defined non-federal match as a condition of the award. Key dates for this archived opportunity included a posted date of August 25, 2010, and an application deadline of November 16, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on January 15, 2011.
Eligibility was limited but broad within the safety-net health space. Applicants had to be public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly included tribal organizations as well as faith-based and community-based organizations. To be eligible, the applicant also had to propose serving a service area and/or population specifically identified in Appendix D for this SAC cycle. The announcement also covered certain existing Health Center Program grantees whose project periods were ending within a defined window (on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011), reflecting the SAC programs role as a competitive mechanism tied to particular service areas and funding periods. HRSA also allowed consortium approaches, where a consortium of health centers could apply if, through partnership, they could credibly serve the entire service area and/or population identified for competition.
A major operational requirement was that the application had to request section 330 funds to support the operation of a health center that provides the full set of required services associated with the Health Center Program. That includes comprehensive primary and preventive care, enabling services, and additional services as appropriate, specifically calling out oral health care, mental health care, and substance use disorder services when appropriate. Importantly, applicants could provide services directly on site or through established arrangements, but they could not propose a clinic focused only on a single service line such as dental-only, mental-health-only, or prenatal-only care. The intent was to fund a genuine, integrated primary care access point capable of addressing a range of patient needs rather than a specialty program operating in isolation.
The opportunity also required an access-for-all approach within the defined target area or population. Applicants had to demonstrate that services would be accessible to all individuals in the targeted service area or population, and they were not allowed to propose an approach that exclusively serves only one age group, one life stage, or a single disease category. If an applicant intended to focus outreach or programming on a sub-population within the broader service area (for example, homeless children or school-based populations), HRSA required a clear explanation of how other people in need of care who present at the proposed sites would also be served. This requirement aligns with the Health Center Program expectation of being a community access point that remains open to anyone in need, while still allowing targeted strategies for groups with especially high barriers to care.
HRSA also imposed a strict submission rule to prevent multiple applications from the same organization under the same announcement number. Only one SAC application could be submitted per applicant organization for consideration in FY 2011 under this announcement number. If more than one was submitted, HRSA would accept only the last application received in Grants.gov and would not review the others, which makes version control and internal approvals a real operational concern for applicants.
For applicants needing help, HRSA provided support through its call center, including email assistance for those who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. The original additional information link for the opportunity was hosted on the HRSA grants site, and the contact channel referenced the HRSA Call Center (including the Go4HRSA phone line) and the CallCenter@HRSA.GOV email address.
