Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-11-013) 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 specific underserved communities or for specific underserved populations. The key point is that this is a competitive process tied to defined service areas and/or populations that HRSA has already announced, primarily through Appendix D of the program guidance and/or through postings on Grants.gov. In practice, SAC is used when HRSA opens a competition for a particular geographic service area or a particular patient population currently being served under the Health Center Program, and applicants compete to be the funded provider for that area/population moving forward.
This opportunity supports primary care services under CFDA 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers), which includes community health centers as well as health center funding streams for special populations such as Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The program’s intent is continuity and comprehensive access: HRSA is looking for an applicant that can take responsibility for the full announced service area and the full patient population already being served, while maintaining the same or comparable scope of comprehensive primary health care services. The SAC structure is not designed for partial coverage or niche proposals; applicants are expected to step into a role that preserves access for existing patients and maintains a full-service health center model for that community.
Eligibility is limited to public entities or nonprofit private entities, and HRSA explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations as eligible applicants, as long as they propose to serve the same service area(s) and/or population(s) that HRSA has identified in the competition materials (Appendix D). Both existing grantees and new organizations may apply, but the proposal must cover the entire announced service area and the entire currently served population. HRSA also allows a consortium model, where multiple health centers partner together and apply as a combined organization if that partnership enables them to serve the full service area and/or population.
The competition includes several practical requirements meant to protect continuity of care and ensure responsible use of federal funds. Competing organizations must: (a) provide services across the entire announced service area, (b) serve the entire population currently being served (not just a subset), (c) deliver the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services already being provided, (d) use federal funds to serve patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an amount of federal funding that is equal to or less than what the current grantee receives for that service area/population, including any special population funding (migrant, homeless, public housing). In other words, applicants are expected to demonstrate they can assume full responsibility for the service area and patients without expanding the federal award amount beyond what is already being provided.
From a funding and timeline standpoint, HRSA anticipated about 45 awards with an estimated total funding level of $50,533,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means applicants are not required to provide a specific non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was posted on August 25, 2010, with an application closing date of December 1, 2010, and an archive date of January 30, 2011. While the notice includes some date references tied to which grantees may be eligible based on project period end dates, the central eligibility concept is consistent: only entities proposing to cover the full competed service area/population identified by HRSA can apply, and they must be prepared to operate a comprehensive primary care program consistent with what is already in place.
For applicants or interested parties needing help accessing the full announcement materials, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone contact options, and also included an additional information link to the HRSA grants portal.
