Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 20 018
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 20 018) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It falls under the Health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.224. The main goal of this funding is to maintain uninterrupted access to affordable, high-quality primary health care in communities and for populations that are already being served under the Health Center Program, particularly in medically underserved areas and among medically underserved populations.
This opportunity is designed for community-based, patient-directed organizations that deliver primary care services, reflecting the Health Center Program model that emphasizes local governance, community accountability, and service delivery focused on the needs of underserved patients. The SAC Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is essentially a continuation-focused competition intended to ensure that existing service areas do not lose access to Health Center Program-supported care, meaning it is aimed at sustaining care delivery where federal health center resources are already in place rather than launching brand-new service areas.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible to apply. Eligibility includes multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special district governments), independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and both public and private institutions of higher education. It also includes Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, as well as other tribal organizations that are not federally recognized as governments. In addition, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (that are not institutions of higher education) are eligible, along with other applicants as described in the NOFO's additional eligibility clarification text. This broad eligibility reflects the variety of organizational structures that can operate community health centers and related primary care delivery models.
The opportunity was created on August 1, 2019, with an original application closing date of September 30, 2019. HRSA anticipated making approximately 62 awards under this competition. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling was not specified in the summary fields and that award levels are determined through the full NOFO guidance, often based on factors like the scope of services, patient volume, service area needs, and available appropriations.
Overall, the SAC grant opportunity is centered on continuity: keeping primary care services stable and accessible for medically underserved communities already relying on Health Center Program-supported providers. It supports organizations that are positioned to continue delivering comprehensive primary health care, maintain community-based and patient-directed operations, and sustain the safety-net role of health centers in areas where affordable care options are limited.Apply for HRSA 20 018
