Opportunity Summary:
The Geriatric Education Centers (GEC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 10-091) is a discretionary Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) cooperative agreement program authorized under Section 753(a) of the Public Health Service Act. Its central purpose is to strengthen the health care workforce's ability to serve older adults by funding the establishment or operation of Geriatric Education Centers. These centers are built around formal collaborative arrangements between accredited health professions schools/programs and health care facilities, with the goal of expanding and improving geriatrics-focused education and training.
Funded projects are expected to deliver education and training focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, disability, and other health problems affecting older adults. A defining requirement of this opportunity is interprofessional education: each supported project must involve four or more distinct health professions, and at least one of those professions must be allopathic or osteopathic medicine (with allopathic and osteopathic medicine counted together as a single profession for the purpose of meeting the interprofessional threshold). In practical terms, the program is designed to encourage team-based geriatrics training that mirrors real-world care for older adults, where multiple disciplines coordinate to address complex medical, functional, and psychosocial needs.
Eligibility is limited to accredited health professions schools and programs, and the announcement explicitly includes certain accredited graduate programs as eligible applicants as well. These include Health Administration and a range of Behavioral Health and Mental Health Practice programs, such as Clinical Psychology, Clinical Social Work, Professional Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy. The opportunity notes that additional eligibility clarification is provided in the full announcement text, indicating that applicants should verify accreditation status and any specific institutional or program requirements described there.
The program anticipated making 48 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $17,500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $200,000 (floor) and $400,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, though projects could still choose to leverage other resources if that strengthened program implementation.
Key administrative details include that the opportunity was posted and created on March 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2010, and an archive date of June 29, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.969 (PPHF Geriatric Education Centers). Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients would typically expect a more active federal role than in a standard grant, such as HRSA involvement in project oversight, coordination, or technical assistance, consistent with cooperative agreement practices.
For applicants or readers needing the full announcement, HRSA provided an additional information link through its grants portal and offered support through the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV and the listed phone numbers) for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
