Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Alzheimers Disease and Related Disorders" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA CONT AC) was a discretionary cooperative agreement released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA). It was specifically structured as a continuation for an existing project rather than an open competition for brand-new applicants, which is why the announcement is brief and focused on maintaining support for work already underway. The funding activity falls under the broad area of income security and social services, aligning with AoA's mission to support programs that help older adults and their caregivers, including services and supports relevant to Alzheimer s disease and related disorders.
This opportunity was posted on May 9, 2008, with an original and final application deadline of June 19, 2008, and it was archived on July 19, 2008. The program anticipated making only one award, and the financial structure makes clear that it was intended for a single, specific continuation recipient: the estimated total funding was $963,500, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at exactly $963,500. That kind of fixed funding level typically signals a continuation or non-competitive renewal where the agency has already defined the amount tied to a particular ongoing project, rather than a range meant to accommodate multiple competing proposals.
The grant is associated with CFDA number 93.048, "Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects." That CFDA category generally covers discretionary AoA initiatives that can include demonstration projects, targeted technical assistance, and other aging-related service innovations. While the announcement text provided here does not describe specific program tasks or deliverables, the title indicates a focus on Alzheimer s disease and related disorders, which commonly involves caregiver supports, service coordination, evidence-based interventions, and improving community capacity to respond to dementia-related needs.
Eligibility was limited. The listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," but the eligibility clarification makes the real requirement explicit: applicants needed to be the current grantee of the existing project. In other words, this was not available to new organizations unless they already held the underlying award being continued. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient had to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the terms of the program and the existing project agreement.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Amy Wiatr, Program Officer, reachable by phone at 312-886-8536.
