Opportunity Summary:
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Chronic Disease Self Management Program grant opportunity, listed as Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA RA 1003, was a Recovery Act initiative run by the Administration on Aging (AoA) under the broader theme of "Communities Putting Prevention to Work." The basic goal was to expand the availability of evidence-based chronic disease self-management programs (CDSMPs) at the state and territorial level, using approaches that are proven to help older adults maintain or improve health and function while reducing the burden of chronic illness through practical education and peer-supported behavior change.
Funding for the announcement was substantial for a short-term Recovery Act effort: an estimated total of $27,000,000 nationwide, with around 50 awards expected. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $1,000,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for state applicants and encouraged rapid scaling. The CFDA number tied to the program was 93.725 (ARRA Communities Putting Prevention to Work Chronic Disease Self Management Program), indicating it was part of the Recovery Act prevention and wellness push rather than a routine annual program.
Eligibility was tightly structured around state and territorial systems. All 56 states and territories were eligible in principle, but who could submit depended on whether the state already had an existing AoA Evidence-Based Disease Prevention cooperative agreement. In the 24 states with existing AoA agreements, only the recipient state agency of those cooperative agreements could apply. In the remaining 32 states and territories without such agreements, the eligible applicants were limited to either the State Unit on Aging or the State Health Department. Even when only one agency served as the official applicant, the announcement required real partnership: both the State Unit on Aging and the State Health Department had to be full partners in developing and implementing the proposed program, and the State Medicaid Agency also had to be involved in development and implementation. Only one application was allowed per state or territory, reinforcing the expectation that states would coordinate internally rather than compete across agencies.
A central requirement was that funded activities support an evidence-based CDSMP model. The program had to meet specific evidence standards: it needed to be tested through randomized controlled trials, shown to be effective at improving and/or maintaining the health status of older adults, and suitable for delivery through community-based human services organizations using non-clinical staff and/or volunteers. In addition, results had to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and the intervention had to be translated into practice and ready for broad national distribution through community-based organizations. AoA provided a list of qualifying programs in an attachment (Attachment D), but states were not limited only to that list; they could propose other models as long as they met the same evidence and readiness criteria. States were allowed to support either one or two different CDSMP models under the announcement, but no more than three total, which was likely meant to balance flexibility with the practical need for scale, consistent training, and measurable implementation.
The timing and submission rules reflected a real-world disruption. The opportunity was originally posted December 16, 2009, with an original closing date of February 12, 2010. It was then reposted and the deadline extended to February 18, 2010 (11:59pm EST), specifically to accommodate states that experienced government closures due to severe snowstorms and could not submit by the February 12 deadline. The resubmission policy was strict: if an affected state submitted a second application after previously submitting one on February 12, AoA would eliminate the first and review only the second, so states had to be deliberate about whether they revised and resubmitted.
In practical terms, this was a state-driven expansion grant designed to rapidly scale proven self-management education for chronic conditions, delivered in community settings rather than clinical environments, with required cross-agency alignment among aging services, public health, and Medicaid. The point was not to fund experimental interventions, but to push out programs already backed by rigorous evidence and ready for broad deployment, leveraging community organizations and trained non-clinical facilitators to reach older adults who could benefit most.
