About the Service Area Competition

Through the Service Area Competition (SAC), HRSA will award approximately $468 million in funding to an estimated 310 SAC applicants. A SAC application is a request for Federal financial assistance to support comprehensive primary health care services for a competitively announced underserved area or population. All available service areas (see below) are currently served by Health Center Program grantees whose project periods are ending in FY 2014.

Service Area Announcement Table

Searchable Service Area Announcement Table

Available service areas can be viewed as a searchable table (a customized list based on selected search criteria).

The Service Area Announcement Table provides the following information: project period start date, current grantee’s administrative site location, state, HRSA announcement number, application deadlines (Grants.gov and EHB), total funding, funding for each population type, service area zip codes, number of patients, and a link to the patient origin map (if available). The service area zip codes provided in the table represent the geographic service area as identified by the current grantee. The map provides additional information regarding patient origin of the currently funded service area (i.e., the percentage of the current grantee’s patients that come from each zip code tabulation area based on 2012 UDS data).

For the Searchable Service Area Announcement Table, use the drop-down lists to select a state, city, and/or project period start date for a customized list of available service areas. Only the states and cities with available service areas in FY 2014 are included in the drop-down lists. 

Eligible Applicants

Applicants must be public or nonprofit private entities, such as tribal, faith-based, or community-based organizations, that propose to serve a service area and its associated population(s) and patients identified in the Service Area Announcement Table see above section. To be eligible an applicant must:

  • Propose to serve a service area and its associated population(s) and patients identified in the Service Area Announcement Table (see section above).
  • Propose on Form 1A to serve at least an equivalent number of patients by the end of the project period as listed in the SAAT.
  • Propose on Form 5B the service area zip codes from which at least 75 percent of the current patients come. Applicants may utilize the Patient Origin Map in the SAAT as a resource in determining the zip codes from which the majority of patients originate.
  • Propose to serve all currently-targeted populations (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, PHPC) identified through the funding distribution in the SAAT.
  • Request annual Federal section 330 funding that DOES NOT exceed the established cap of section 330 funding (listed as Total Funding on the SAAT). Applicant maintains the current funding distribution between target populations as listed on the SAAT (i.e., CHC, MHC, HCH, and/or PHPC).
