Opportunity Summary:
The ADRC Evidence Based Care Transition Programs grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA CT 1026) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) focused on improving how states help people move safely and effectively between health care settings and community-based services. The core purpose was to strengthen the role of Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) in putting proven, evidence-based care transition models into practice. The emphasis was on models that actively involve older adults and individuals with disabilities, along with the informal caregivers who often support them, so that transitions such as hospital-to-home are better coordinated, more person-centered, and less likely to result in avoidable complications or readmissions.
This opportunity used a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, which typically signals a more hands-on federal partnership than a standard grant. In practical terms, states awarded funds would be expected not only to run their proposed projects, but also to coordinate closely with AoA around implementation expectations, reporting, and program improvement. The activity category was Income Security and Social Services, and the funding fell under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects), which aligns it with broader federal efforts to improve aging services infrastructure and systems that support older adults.
Funding was limited and competitive. AoA expected to make about 6 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding pool of $2,500,000. Individual awards were anticipated to fall between $300,000 (award floor) and $500,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning states were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although they would still be expected to demonstrate strong capacity and partnerships to execute the project effectively.
Eligibility was narrowly defined to states with prior ADRC-related federal investment and an ongoing, operational ADRC presence. Only a state agency or instrument of a state could apply, and only if the state had previously received awards under specific earlier initiatives: AoA and CMS ADRC grants funded in fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2009, and/or the CMS Person-Centered Hospital Discharge Planning Model grants funded in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. Just as important, the state had to still be implementing and operating the ADRC activities that were supported by those earlier grants. AoA also restricted submissions to one application per state, which suggests the program was designed to support cohesive statewide strategies rather than multiple competing proposals from within the same state.
The applicant agency was required to show support and active participation from key state partners, specifically the State Unit on Aging, the Single State Medicaid Agency, and state disability agencies where applicable. That requirement reflects the reality that care transitions touch both health care and long-term services and supports, and successful models usually depend on strong coordination across aging networks, Medicaid programs, and disability service systems. The announcement also clarified that "state" followed the definition at 45 CFR 74.2, and that Executive Order 12372 (intergovernmental review) did not apply to these applications.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited 2010 competition. The opportunity was posted June 3, 2010, created June 10, 2010, with an original closing date of July 31, 2010 and a current closing date of July 30, 2010. The archive date was August 30, 2010, meaning the solicitation is no longer active and is retained primarily for historical and reference purposes.
For applicants needing the full announcement, AoA provided an additional information link (the full announcement link) and a point of contact: Sean Lewis (sean.lewis@aoa.hhs.gov), listed under Grants Policy. Overall, the grant was aimed at helping experienced ADRC states take the next step: moving beyond basic access and referral functions toward a stronger, evidence-driven role in care transitions that measurably improves outcomes for older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers.
