Opportunity Summary:
The Service Area Competitions (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-12-107) 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 ensure continued and expanded access to comprehensive primary health care in specific high-need communities by funding organizations to operate health centers in defined service areas. These health centers are designed to be community-based and patient-directed, and they focus on medically underserved and vulnerable populations across the United States and its territories. In the broader context, HRSA notes that the Health Center Program supports more than 1,100 health centers operating over 8,100 service delivery sites nationwide, including in every state, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin.
This competition is specifically tied to serving entire HRSA-announced service areas and the populations associated with them, as listed in the Service Area Announcement Table referenced in the announcement. The program is structured to support continuity of services where existing federal health center funding may be ending, and also to bring new or expanded health center capacity into areas identified by HRSA as needing coverage. Applicants are expected to propose operations that improve access to care regardless of patients ability to pay, reflecting the Health Center Programs core mission to remove financial and structural barriers to care in underserved communities.
Funding is provided as a grant with an estimated total funding amount of $26,644,519 and an anticipated 17 awards. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. The posting date was June 14, 2011, with an application closing date of December 5, 2011 (archived February 3, 2012), indicating this is a historical notice but still useful as a model for understanding SAC requirements and HRSA expectations for similar competitions.
Eligible applicants must be public entities or nonprofit private entities, including organizations such as tribal organizations, faith-based organizations, and community-based organizations. Beyond basic organizational eligibility, applicants must also meet program-specific conditions. They must propose to serve one of the HRSA-designated service areas listed in the official SAC table. Eligible scenarios include: (1) a current Health Center Program grantee whose project period ends within the specified window (on or after October 31, 2011 and before October 1, 2012) applying to continue serving its existing service area, (2) an organization not currently funded through the Health Center Program applying to serve an entire announced service area, or (3) a current grantee proposing to add and serve an entire announced service area in addition to its current one. Applicants are limited to submitting only one application under a single SAC announcement number, and anyone attempting to apply for two different service areas under the same announcement number must coordinate first with HRSA program staff (the Office of Policy and Program Development) per the notice.
Programmatically, applicants must request Section 330 funding to operate a health center that delivers the required scope of comprehensive services. That includes primary and preventive services, enabling services, and any additional required health services, either directly at the site or through formal established arrangements. A key restriction is that applicants cannot propose a narrow, single-service model (for example, offering only dental care, only behavioral health, or only prenatal services). The application must be built around an integrated health center model that offers comprehensive care.
The service approach must also be broadly accessible within the service area. Applicants cannot propose to serve only one age group (such as only children or only seniors) or only one disease or condition category (such as only HIV/AIDS). If the applicant plans to target a particular sub-population within the broader service area (for example, homeless youth or students in schools), the proposal must still ensure that other people in need who seek care at the proposed sites can access services as well. In other words, targeted strategies are allowed, but the health center cannot be designed as an exclusive clinic limited to a single narrow group.
Budget and application compliance requirements are clearly emphasized. The annual Section 330 federal funding request presented on the SF-424A cannot exceed the cap established for the announced service area and its designated population. HRSA also imposes a strict application length requirement: the total application must stay within a 150-page limit as printed by HRSA, with the announcement noting that certain tables identify what counts toward that limit.
For applicants seeking more details or official documentation, HRSA provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants website and directed applicants needing help accessing the announcement to the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV) and its phone support lines.
