Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 18 108
The Service Area Competition-Additional Areas (SAC-AA) - Newark, NJ funding opportunity (HRSA-18-108) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224). It is designed to support community-based, patient-directed organizations that deliver primary health care in medically underserved communities. In practical terms, this competition is about making sure people in and around the specified Newark, New Jersey service area continue to have access to affordable, high-quality primary care, especially populations that are more likely to face barriers to care.
The main purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is continuity of services. HRSA uses SAC-AA when it wants to fund operational support for primary care services in an "announced service area" that is already being served under the Health Center Program or where there is a clear need to maintain or expand access for vulnerable groups. Applicants compete to become the health center operator for the service area, and the NOFO lays out who is eligible, how applications will be reviewed, and what factors HRSA will use to decide awards. While the title references Newark, NJ specifically, the structure follows the broader Health Center Program approach: fund organizations that can deliver comprehensive, accessible primary care with strong community governance and accountability.
The NOFO uses the term "health center" broadly to include organizations funded under several parts of section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. That includes Community Health Centers (CHC, section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (MHC, section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (HCH, section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (PHPC, section 330(i)). This matters because it signals that the funding is meant for comprehensive primary care operations consistent with Health Center Program requirements, and it recognizes that different service models may be needed depending on the population being served (for example, people experiencing homelessness, migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, or residents of public housing).
Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which indicates HRSA expected applicants to rely on the detailed eligibility language in the full NOFO rather than a simple category label. In general, Health Center Program competitions are aimed at public or private nonprofit entities that can demonstrate the capacity to provide required primary health services, operate in a community-based manner, and meet program expectations tied to access, quality, governance, and accountability. The NOFO also signals that HRSA will apply specific review criteria and awarding factors, meaning applications are scored competitively based on how well the organization can deliver and sustain services in the Newark service area.
Key administrative details from the listing include a posting/creation date of January 26, 2018, and an original application closing date of March 27, 2018. The expected number of awards is two, suggesting HRSA anticipated funding up to two organizations to cover the service needs defined for this competition. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in that particular summary field or would be defined elsewhere in the full NOFO materials rather than as a single universal cap in the announcement record.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an operational funding competition tied to the Health Center Program mission: keeping primary care available in underserved areas by supporting nonprofit, community-grounded providers that can deliver accessible, patient-centered services and meet HRSA program standards.Apply for HRSA 18 108
