Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Existing Project" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS 2009 AOA CONT AC), was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA) as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the program area of Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity is specifically framed as a continuation or support action for an already-established effort rather than a competition for brand new project concepts, which is reinforced by the stated eligibility limitation to existing grantees. In other words, it is aimed at organizations that are already funded under the relevant AoA project and are seeking ongoing support to continue approved work, maintain services, or carry forward established project activities under the same initiative.
Only one award was expected, and the funding amount was essentially fixed: the estimated total funding was $963,500, with the award ceiling and award floor both set at $963,500. That structure typically signals that the agency already knows the intended funding level and is likely continuing a specific project at a predetermined budget amount, rather than evaluating multiple applications for varying award sizes. The listing identifies CFDA Number 93.048, "Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects," which generally relates to discretionary projects that support older adults through program development, demonstration efforts, training, and other initiatives aligned with the Older Americans Act.
The announcement also notes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in accordance with the grant terms. The details of what counts as match (cash, allowable in-kind contributions, or a particular percentage) are not included in the snippet provided, but the requirement indicates the award is not intended to cover 100% of total project costs.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on January 26, 2009, with an original closing date of June 1, 2009, later updated to a current closing date of May 29, 2009. The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2009, which typically means the solicitation was closed and moved out of the active listings. Because eligibility is limited to existing grantees, the "Eligible Applicants" field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the clarification provided is simply that eligibility is for existing grantees, suggesting this was not open to the general public, new nonprofits, universities, or state/local governments unless they were the incumbent awardee.
For assistance, the contact listed is Rodd Clay, Senior Grants Policy Specialist at AoA, with phone number 202-357-3463 and email rodd.clay@aoa.gov, specifically for situations where an applicant has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
