Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-102) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224, Consolidated Health Centers). Its purpose is to fund community-based, patient-directed health centers that deliver comprehensive primary care and related services to medically underserved and vulnerable populations across the United States and its territories. SAC is designed to ensure that specific announced geographic service areas and their associated target populations continue to have access to federally supported health center services, either by allowing existing grantees to compete to continue serving their areas as project periods end, or by selecting new organizations to take on service areas where competition is opened.
This opportunity emphasizes expanding and maintaining access to care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay, and it reflects HRSA’s broader role in supporting a national network of health centers. The announcement notes that the Health Center Program funds more than 1,100 health centers operating over 8,100 service delivery sites nationwide, including every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In practical terms, SAC funding supports the ongoing operation of health centers in high-need communities by directing federal Section 330 resources to organizations that can meet the program’s comprehensive service expectations and governance model.
Funding is provided as grants, with an estimated total funding amount of $65,962,452 and an expected 24 awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Applicants must pay close attention to the funding cap tied to each announced service area; the request for annual federal Section 330 support cannot exceed the maximum amount HRSA has set for that particular service area and population. The service areas eligible under this competition are specifically identified in HRSA’s Service Area Announcement Table, and applicants are expected to propose services that cover the full announced service area rather than a partial footprint unless HRSA’s instructions indicate otherwise.
Eligibility is limited to public entities and nonprofit private entities. That includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education). HRSA also allows other applicants as clarified in the announcement’s additional eligibility information. The competition is structured to allow several types of applicants: current Health Center Program grantees whose project periods are ending within the specified window and who want to continue serving the same area; organizations not currently funded under the Health Center Program that propose to serve the entire announced service area; and current grantees that want to expand and take on an entire announced service area in addition to their existing one. A key rule is that an applicant may submit only one application for consideration under a single SAC announcement number, and organizations that want to apply for two different service areas under the same announcement number are instructed to contact HRSA’s Office of Policy and Program Development.
Programmatically, HRSA requires SAC applicants to propose a full health center model rather than a single-service clinic. The application must request Section 330 funds to support the operation of a health center that provides required comprehensive primary and preventive health services, along with enabling services and additional health services, either directly at the proposed site(s) or through formal established arrangements. Proposals that only offer one service line, such as dental-only, behavioral health-only, or prenatal-only services, are not allowed. The proposal must also demonstrate access for all individuals in the service area or target population; applicants cannot design the project to exclusively serve only one age group (such as only children or only seniors) or only one disease or condition category (such as HIV/AIDS only). If an applicant targets a subpopulation within the broader service area (for example, homeless children or students in schools), the health center must still make care available to other people in need who present for services at the proposed site(s).
Administratively, applications are subject to a strict length limit: the total application, as printed by HRSA, must not exceed 150 pages, with specific instructions (referenced as Tables 2 through 5 in the announcement) describing what counts toward that limit. The critical dates listed in the source data show the opportunity was posted June 14, 2011, with an original closing date of September 19, 2011, later extended to September 22, 2011, and archived on November 20, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the HRSA Call Center via CallCenter@HRSA.GOV or by phone at 877-464-4772 (also listed as 877-Go4-HRSA), with a TTY number provided for accessibility.
The full announcement and service-area-specific details were provided through HRSA’s grants portal link: https://grants.hrsa.gov/webExternal/SFO.asp?ID=6E3F5BDA-A6C3-4765-AF67-8AD7DB854E59 and the service area table referenced at http://www.hrsa.gov/grants/apply/assistance/sac, which applicants needed to use to confirm the exact service area requirements, population definitions, and the maximum funding level permitted for each competed area.
