Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 11 014) is a discretionary HRSA grant program designed to ensure continued access to comprehensive primary health care in underserved communities. In practical terms, HRSA uses this competition to select the organization best positioned to operate a Health Center Program service area when that specific geographic service area or target population has been formally announced for competition (as listed in Appendix D of the official guidance and/or posted through Grants.gov). The focus is on maintaining uninterrupted, full-scope primary care capacity for the community or population already being served, rather than allowing applicants to redesign the service area or narrow who receives care.
The funding falls under CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers, which covers Community Health Centers as well as special population components such as Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care. The opportunity uses the standard grant instrument (not a contract), and it does not require cost sharing or matching. HRSA anticipated making 43 awards with an estimated total funding amount of 83,253,000. The opportunity was originally posted August 25, 2010, with an application closing date of January 10, 2011 (and it was later archived March 11, 2011), indicating it was a time-limited competitive cycle tied to specific project periods ending within the stated timeframe.
Eligibility is aimed at public entities and nonprofit private entities, and it explicitly includes tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. Applicants must be proposing to serve the same service area and/or population identified by HRSA in Appendix D. Importantly, this competition is open both to existing Health Center Program grantees whose project periods were ending on or after October 31, 2010 and before October 1, 2011, and to new organizations capable of taking on the full responsibility for the announced service area or population. HRSA also clarifies that a new applicant may be a consortium arrangement, meaning a partnership of health centers can apply together if, collectively, they can cover the entire announced service area and population.
The competition requirements emphasize continuity and comparability of services. Competing organizations are expected to (a) serve the entire announced service area, (b) serve the entire population currently being served (no proposals to cover only a subset of patients), (c) provide the same or comparable comprehensive primary health care services already being delivered, (d) use federal grant funds to serve the patients who are currently served by the existing grantee, and (e) request an equal or lesser amount of federal funding than what the current grantee receives, including any funding tied to special populations programs (migrant, homeless, and public housing). Taken together, these conditions signal that HRSA is not looking for partial coverage or a scaled-down replacement; the intent is that whoever wins the competition can step in and operate at least the same level of scope and reach for the community.
Administratively, HRSA is the sponsoring agency, and applicants were directed to consult the formal funding guidance for full program and application details. For technical help accessing the announcement, HRSA provided support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone lines (877 464 4772 and 301 998 7373). The official listing also included an online link to the HRSA posting for additional information.
