Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 008
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 22 008) is a discretionary grant program run 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 organizations that deliver primary health care in communities that are medically underserved. The central goal of this particular competition is continuity: it is meant to maintain uninterrupted access to comprehensive, culturally competent, high-quality primary care services for the specific communities and patient populations that are already being served under the Health Center Program.
This funding is aimed at domestic organizations that are community-based and patient-directed, consistent with how Health Center Program awardees are structured and governed. In practice, SAC competitions typically occur when HRSA needs to fund health center services in a defined service area and is opening a competitive process to determine which organization will receive support to continue providing those services. The emphasis on comprehensive and culturally competent care signals that applicants are expected to deliver a full scope of primary care services in a way that is responsive to local community needs and accessible to underserved patients, rather than providing limited or narrow clinical offerings.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, reflecting the variety of entities that can operate community health centers. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity also allows for additional eligible applicant types as noted in the full announcement under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section, meaning applicants should confirm any special eligibility conditions or clarifications contained in the official NOFO.
Administratively, the notice was created on December 9, 2021, with an original application closing date of February 7, 2022. HRSA anticipated making 24 awards under this competition. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally indicates that a fixed maximum award amount is not specified in the summary field and that applicants should rely on the NOFO for detailed funding ranges, budgeting expectations, and how award amounts are determined. Overall, SAC is best understood as a competitive mechanism within the Health Center Program intended to ensure that vulnerable and underserved communities do not lose access to essential primary care services, while reinforcing expectations around quality, comprehensiveness, and culturally competent service delivery.Apply for HRSA 22 008
