Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 25 012

The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 25-012) is a discretionary grant announced by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Health Center Program (CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.224). The main goal of this funding is to maintain continuity of care for the communities and patient populations that are already being served through the Health Center Program. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to prevent gaps in access to primary care and related services in places where a Health Center Program award supports ongoing care, ensuring those services continue without disruption.

This opportunity is open to a broad range of domestic applicants located in the United States and its territories, as long as the organization is either a private, non-profit entity or a public agency. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; and independent school districts. It also includes Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (including those that are not federally recognized tribal governments). Nonprofit organizations are eligible whether they have 501(c)(3) status or not, provided they are not institutions of higher education. HRSA also indicates that tribal and urban Indian organizations may apply, reinforcing that the program is intended to support continuity of care across diverse communities, including American Indian and Alaska Native populations.

HRSA anticipates making approximately 64 awards under this NOFO. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount is not provided in the summarized record and would need to be confirmed in the full NOFO details or related guidance. The application closing date for this opportunity was July 29, 2024, and the opportunity record was created on May 28, 2024.

Overall, SAC functions as a mechanism for HRSA to continue Health Center Program-supported services in defined service areas by competing the award for those areas, helping ensure that patients who rely on these health centers can keep receiving care with minimal interruption.
