Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 008
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 21 008) 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 Center Program (CFDA 93.224) and is designed to support primary health care delivery in medically underserved communities. In practical terms, SAC is about keeping essential community health center services available in places and for populations that are already being served through the Health Center Program, helping ensure there is no interruption in access to care.
The main purpose of this notice of funding opportunity is continuity. HRSA uses SAC to ensure that communities currently receiving Health Center Program-supported services continue to have access to comprehensive primary care that is culturally competent and focused on quality. The organizations supported under this program are described as community-based and patient-directed, which reflects the Health Center Program model of being rooted in local community needs while emphasizing patient-centered governance and service delivery.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism, and the opportunity is categorized under the health funding activity area. While the notice lists an award ceiling of 0 (which typically indicates that a fixed ceiling amount is not specified in the summarized dataset or that award amounts are determined differently based on program rules and available appropriations), it notes an expectation of two awards for this particular competition cycle. The opportunity was created on December 17, 2020, with an original application closing date of February 16, 2021.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of public and nonprofit entities that commonly operate or sponsor health service delivery systems. Eligible applicants include county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category, with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification, which suggests HRSA may allow certain additional applicant types when they meet specific program requirements.
Overall, SAC is best understood as a continuity-focused competition within the Health Center Program meant to preserve access to essential, high-quality primary care for underserved populations. It supports organizations that are already serving these communities under the Health Center Program framework and emphasizes comprehensive services delivered in a culturally competent way, aligning with the longstanding mission of community health centers to reduce barriers and improve health outcomes in areas with limited access to care.Apply for HRSA 21 008
