Opportunity Summary:
The Choices for Independence grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA CONT CI) is a discretionary cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA). It is categorized under the funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects. The announcement is labeled as an "Existing Project," meaning it is not structured as an open competition for new applicants but instead supports the continuation of an already funded effort.
Funding under this opportunity is limited and highly specific in scope. AoA expected to make a single award, with total estimated funding of $489,345. The funding parameters are fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $489,345, which strongly indicates a continuation award amount set for a particular recipient rather than a range intended for multiple applicants or varied project budgets. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically involves substantial federal involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as ongoing coordination, programmatic guidance, or collaborative oversight from the agency.
Eligibility is restricted. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with further clarification stating "Existing grantee." In practical terms, that means only the current recipient of the underlying project is eligible to apply for this continuation funding. This aligns with the "Existing Project" designation and suggests the funding is intended to maintain momentum, preserve services, or complete planned activities under an already approved program rather than launch a new initiative.
The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project costs in accordance with the terms of the award. The announcement does not specify the matching percentage in the summary data provided, but the presence of this requirement signals that the continuation effort depends partly on leveraged funds or in-kind support from the grantee or partners.
Key dates indicate the posting occurred on April 22, 2008, with an original closing date of May 27, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of June 2, 2008. The record shows a creation date of May 29, 2008, and an archive date of June 26, 2008, which reflects the window during which the notice was actively available and processed in the grants system.
For applicant support or access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Bob Hornyak, Project Officer, reachable at (202) 357-0150.
