Opportunity Summary:
The National Aging Civic Engagement Technical Assistance Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA CC 1024) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA). It is designed to strengthen civic engagement among older adults and expand meaningful volunteer and service roles connected to the Aging Network. The project centers on building a clearer national picture of what is already known, what stakeholders believe is needed, and what practical strategies can be scaled, then using that information to help AoA and the Aging Network put those strategies into action.
At the core of the award is a two-part mission. First, the funded organization must conduct a systematic inquiry into existing knowledge and the views of key stakeholders across aging, service, and related communities. This inquiry is expected to draw input from stakeholders at federal, state, and local levels, and it must culminate in a recommended Action Plan for AoA and the Aging Network focused specifically on civic engagement. In other words, the center is not just collecting opinions; it is expected to synthesize information into an actionable roadmap that can guide national and network-level decisions about how to support older adult civic participation and volunteerism.
Second, the Technical Assistance Center is expected to help implement the Action Plan and related recommendations across the Aging Network. The announcement highlights several concrete implementation supports: organizing meetings and conferences to convene partners and share approaches; providing hands-on technical assistance to State Units on Aging and Area Agencies on Aging so they can design and operate effective, high-impact civic engagement programs that are replicable and sustainable; developing and providing information that can be used on Aging Network websites (suggesting a knowledge-sharing and dissemination role); and issuing subgrants to test a range of strategies intended to increase and strengthen volunteer roles within Aging Network program operations. Taken together, this positions the center as both a national convener and an applied support hub, translating ideas and research into field-ready tools, pilots, and implementation guidance.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $969,234. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $969,234, indicating a single, fixed-size cooperative agreement rather than a range of possible award levels. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants are broad and include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The CFDA number is 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title IID Discretionary Projects, and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the grant's focus on strengthening community participation and service structures rather than medical care delivery.
Key timing details in the notice show the opportunity was posted May 14, 2010, with an application closing date of June 25, 2010, and an archive date of July 25, 2010.
