Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 24 071
The Service Area Competition (SAC) grant opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224). It is designed to support organizations that deliver primary health care services to medically underserved communities in the United States. The core intent of this competition is continuity: it aims to ensure that people and communities already being served through the Health Center Program continue to have reliable access to care that is comprehensive, culturally competent, and high quality.
This competition focuses on community-based, patient-directed health care organizations, including domestic public or private nonprofit entities that operate as health centers. In practical terms, SAC funding supports the ongoing delivery of frontline primary care services for populations that often face barriers such as limited provider availability, geographic isolation, low income, or other factors that make accessing health care difficult. The emphasis on comprehensive services signals a broad primary care approach rather than isolated or single-disease programs, while the focus on culturally competent care highlights the expectation that services are responsive to the language, cultural context, and lived realities of the patients and communities served.
Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government and nonprofit and tribal entities. Specifically, eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "others" category with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice, which generally indicates HRSA may allow certain other entity types when they meet the program and statutory requirements.
The opportunity is identified as HRSA-24-071, with an original application closing date of October 30, 2023, and a creation date of August 31, 2023. HRSA anticipated making about 163 awards under this competition. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the summarized data, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in that field in the summary extract or that the full funding limits and award amounts are detailed elsewhere in the full NOFO. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health, aligning with HRSA's role in strengthening access to primary care in underserved areas.
Overall, the SAC NOFO is essentially a mechanism to maintain and compete for continued Health Center Program support within defined service areas, so communities already served do not lose access to essential primary health care services. The competition structure reinforces accountability and performance expectations while prioritizing stable access to care for medically underserved populations.Apply for HRSA 24 071
