Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Information and Planning: Understanding the Capacity of the Aging Network" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2012 AOA UC 1212) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). Its central purpose is to help the national Aging Network better understand its own capacity and performance as it plans for the needs of a rapidly growing older adult population and the family caregivers who support them. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen how the Aging Network designs programs and delivers services by creating a clearer, evidence-informed picture of what is currently happening across the network, what is working well, and where gaps or emerging needs are likely to appear.
The Aging Network described in the announcement is broad and community-embedded, with a major focus on Older Americans Act (OAA) Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) as well as American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian organizations (referred to in the notice as Tribal Organizations). AoA is seeking a single recipient that can put a structured process in place to capture and interpret the activities occurring across these entities, including innovative approaches and best practices that have surfaced in local and Tribal contexts. The emphasis is not only on collecting information, but on building understanding of how the network is functioning in key programmatic areas tied to systems change, particularly in health and long-term care. The end result AoA is looking for is a stronger foundation for future training and technical assistance (T/TA) efforts, meaning the findings from this project should directly inform what kinds of supports, guidance, and capacity-building the network will need next.
A major theme of the opportunity is "information and planning" rather than direct service expansion. The project’s primary objective is to assess and document network progress in priority areas and to identify the direction the Aging Network is moving toward in health and long-term services and supports. AoA signals that understanding current practice across AAAs and Tribal aging programs will help federal and network leaders make better decisions about how to improve program design and service delivery nationwide. The project is therefore positioned as a kind of strategic intelligence and learning effort for the Aging Network, aimed at spotting patterns, highlighting replicable innovations, and clarifying capacity at different levels of the system.
Funding is relatively limited and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $177,923 and an award ceiling of $177,923 (award floor listed as $0). AoA anticipated making one award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, such as closer collaboration on work planning, deliverables, or ongoing project direction. The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to plan for and document non-federal contributions consistent with the opportunity’s rules.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. The notice also explicitly references faith-based organizations and community-based organizations in its eligibility information, indicating that AoA is open to a wide range of capable entities, provided they can credibly carry out a national or network-wide learning and assessment process tied to AAAs and Tribal aging networks.
Key administrative details include a posted date of June 5, 2012, with a closing date of July 16, 2012 (archived July 17, 2012). The AoA funding page was provided as an additional information link, and the contact listed for access issues or questions was Greg Case (Greg.Case@aoa.hhs.gov) in Grants Policy. Overall, the opportunity is designed to produce actionable insight into what the Aging Network is doing, how well it is positioned for the future, and what targeted training and technical assistance will be most important to strengthen the network’s ability to deliver high-quality long-term supports and services.
