Opportunity Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Chronic Disease Self Management Program (CDSMP) Technical Assistance (TA) Center opportunity was a one-time federal funding announcement from the Administration on Aging (AoA) to establish a single National Resource Center to support AoA and its state and territorial CDSMP grantees. The central purpose was to use Recovery Act funds to speed up and strengthen the rollout of evidence-based chronic disease self-management programs aimed largely at older adults, while also building the infrastructure needed to keep those programs running after the grant period ends.
At its core, the TA Center was expected to help grantees do three big things: reach scale, maintain program quality, and plan for sustainability. Specifically, the national goal during the grant window was to deliver CDSMP workshops to at least 50,000 participants. At the same time, the Center needed to help states document whether programs were being delivered with fidelity to the original research model, meaning the workshops should follow the standardized design that made CDSMP effective in the first place. Just as important, the Center was tasked with strengthening state and community capacity so CDSMP could continue beyond federal funding, rather than disappearing when the grant cycle ended.
To make that happen, the Center would provide a broad package of hands-on technical assistance and evaluation support. The announcement described a mix of national and individualized supports, including two national meetings, web-based trainings, on-site visits to grantees, targeted teleconferences, and structured peer-to-peer mentoring so states could learn directly from one another. A major emphasis was helping states develop workable statewide distribution systems for CDSMP, along with continuous quality improvement processes at both the state and local community levels. In practice, this meant building repeatable ways to train leaders, schedule and host workshops, recruit participants, track delivery, and monitor quality across many local providers.
Evaluation was a key deliverable, not an add-on. The Center was expected to assist AoA with a nationwide pre- and post-participant survey of individuals taking CDSMP, then use the lessons learned and the survey instrument to help states implement similar surveys within their own programs. This survey work was meant to support consistent outcome measurement and give grantees credible data on participant change over time. Because the target was rapid expansion to tens of thousands of older adults, the TA focus leaned heavily toward immediate implementation support, troubleshooting, and scaling strategies that still protect fidelity and data quality.
This award was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals that AoA planned to be actively involved throughout the project. AoA could collaborate, participate, or intervene in funded activities as needed, meaning the selected organization would work closely with the agency on priorities, deliverables, and execution rather than operating fully independently.
Funding details were straightforward: the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-AOA-RA-1004) anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $2,837,500, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant pool was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the application would be judged heavily on readiness to start immediately, reflecting the Recovery Act emphasis on fast deployment and measurable impact.
Key administrative facts include that the program was posted January 13, 2010, created January 26, 2010, and closed February 11, 2010 (after an original closing date of February 10). It was listed under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). The agency contact listed for access issues was Sean Lewis, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-357-3445.
