Opportunity Summary:
The "Effects of OAA Nutrition Services on Medicare Utilization and Costs Briefing" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA CONT UN2) was a discretionary grant issued by the Administration on Aging (AoA) to support an existing, ongoing project rather than launch a new competitive program. The focus, as stated in the title, was on examining how nutrition services funded under the Older Americans Act (OAA) relate to Medicare utilization and costs, with the deliverable implied to be a briefing or briefing materials summarizing findings and implications. In practical terms, this type of opportunity typically supports continued analysis, reporting, and communication of results from work already underway, rather than funding new data collection efforts from scratch.
Financially, the opportunity was structured as a single award with a fixed amount: the estimated total funding was $100,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $100,000. That combination signals that the agency intended to make one continuation award at a specific dollar level, not a range of awards or variable project budgets. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number tied to this announcement was 93.048, described as "Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects," which is consistent with AoA discretionary funding used for targeted aging-related initiatives, demonstrations, evaluations, and related support activities.
A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute a portion of project resources from non-federal sources according to the terms of the existing project agreement. The announcement does not specify the match percentage in the excerpt provided, but the presence of the requirement indicates the continuation funds were not intended to cover 100 percent of total project costs.
Eligibility was highly limited. The announcement explicitly notes "Existing Project" and states that applicants needed to be the current grantee of the existing project. This indicates it was essentially a continuation or non-competitive extension meant for the organization already performing the work, rather than an open solicitation. The Eligible Applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the key clarification provided is that only the current grantee qualified.
Timing details show it was posted and created on May 9, 2008, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2008, and an archive date of July 19, 2008. The short application window aligns with a continuation award process, where the agency and recipient are already engaged and the submission may be more about updated work plans, progress, and budgeting than a full competitive proposal.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Jean Lloyd, Project Officer, reachable by phone at 202-357-3582.
