Opportunity Summary:
The Substance Abuse Service Expansion grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-16-074) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It supported Fiscal Year 2016 efforts to strengthen substance abuse services within the Health Center Program, specifically by helping existing health centers improve and expand how they deliver substance use disorder care. A central emphasis of the program was Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders, reflecting a targeted federal response to opioid-related morbidity and mortality. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to help health centers broaden clinical capacity, integrate evidence-based treatment into routine primary care settings, and expand access for underserved populations already relying on health centers for affordable care.
The total estimated funding available under the announcement was $100,000,000, with an expected 310 awards. The listing is associated with CFDA number 93.527, described as Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grants for New and Expanded Services under the Health Center Program. The notice indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The published award floor and ceiling were both listed as 0 in the source summary, which typically signals that specific award amounts were determined by HRSA policy and program needs in the full announcement rather than being stated as fixed minimums or maximums in the brief record.
Eligibility was focused and program-specific. Although the general eligibility menu includes a broad range of entity types (such as state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; 501(c)(3) nonprofits; and tribal governments and tribal organizations), the controlling eligibility rule was that an applicant must already be a Health Center Program award recipient funded under section 330(e), (g), (h), and/or (i) of the Public Health Service Act. In addition, applicants could not be organizations that had received initial Health Center Program funding as a new start/new award recipient in FY 2015 through a New Access Point, Service Area Competition, or Service Area Competition Additional Area grant award. In other words, this was a supplemental funding opportunity intended for established HRSA-funded health centers, not newly funded starts from the prior year.
Key dates in the public record show the opportunity was posted on July 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2015, and it was later archived on November 27, 2015. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was health. The program description is straightforward: it solicited applications to expand substance abuse services at existing health centers, with a strong focus on MAT for opioid use disorders. While the brief synopsis does not list allowable cost categories in detail, the stated purpose implies support for expanding service delivery capacity, which commonly includes clinical staffing and training, care coordination, screening and assessment, and the integration of substance use disorder treatment protocols within health center operations, particularly approaches aligned with MAT.
For help with access to the full announcement, HRSA provided program contact information through the Bureau of Primary Health Care, reachable via bphcsa@hrsa.gov, with a listed contact person (Shannon McDevitt) and phone number (301) 594-4300.
