Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) funding opportunity (HRSA-12-105) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.224, focused on sustaining or expanding access to comprehensive primary health care in specific, HRSA-defined service areas that include medically underserved and vulnerable populations. The basic purpose is to ensure that communities with documented need have a Health Center Program-supported provider that delivers a full scope of required services, operates with an access-for-all approach, and follows the core Health Center Program expectations such as serving patients regardless of ability to pay. SAC is structured around competing for the right to operate (or continue operating) a federally supported health center project in a particular geographic or population-based service area identified by HRSA in a Service Area Announcement Table.
This opportunity anticipated about 30 awards with an estimated total funding level of $30,451,748, using the grant funding instrument. It was originally posted June 14, 2011, with an original closing date of October 17, 2011 and a current closing date of October 19, 2011; the opportunity was archived December 15, 2011. The program reflects the broader Health Center Program footprint, which at the time funded more than 1,100 health centers operating more than 8,100 service delivery sites across every state, Washington, DC, and U.S. territories including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In practical terms, SAC is one of the mechanisms HRSA uses to direct Section 330 funding to the highest-need places and populations, while also ensuring continuity of care when an existing grantee’s project period is ending.
Eligible applicants are generally public entities and nonprofit private entities, including state, county, city/township, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education). Beyond being an eligible entity type, applicants must meet several program-specific eligibility rules. The applicant must propose to serve a specific service area and associated population(s) that HRSA has formally announced for competition. The competition can involve different applicant situations: an existing Health Center Program grantee whose project period is ending within the specified window and that seeks to continue serving its current service area; a new organization not currently funded through the program that proposes to serve the entire announced service area; or an existing grantee seeking to add and serve an additional entire announced service area beyond its current one.
The funding is intended to support operation of a full health center project under Section 330, meaning the application must propose the delivery of comprehensive primary and preventive health services along with enabling and additional health services, either directly on site or through formal established arrangements. The announcement makes clear that applicants cannot request Section 330 support to provide only a single standalone service line (for example, only dental, only behavioral health, or only prenatal care). The access model is also central: applicants must propose access to services for all individuals in the service area or target population, and they cannot design a project that exclusively serves only one age group or only one disease category. Even when an applicant focuses outreach on a particular subpopulation within the service area (such as homeless children or students), the proposed site(s) must still make care available to other people in need who present for services.
Several administrative and application constraints are emphasized. Each applicant is limited to submitting only one application for consideration under a single SAC announcement number, and any organization that wants to apply for two different service areas under one announcement number must coordinate in advance with HRSA’s Office of Policy and Program Development. Budgets must respect HRSA’s funding cap for the specific announced service area; the annual federal Section 330 amount requested (as shown on the SF-424A) cannot exceed the established cap associated with that service area and population. The solicitation also notes a strict application length requirement: the complete application package, as printed by HRSA, must not exceed 150 pages, with specific tables in the notice clarifying which documents count toward that limit. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
For applicants and partners, the practical takeaway is that SAC is less about proposing a narrow pilot and more about demonstrating readiness and capacity to operate a full-scope, community-oriented health center that can meet a defined community need at scale, within the program’s rules, and within HRSA’s specified service area boundaries and funding limits. The official posting lists HRSA as the administering agency and provides an additional information link through HRSA’s grants portal, and it directs people who have trouble accessing the announcement to HRSA’s Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and phone support lines.
