Opportunity Summary:
The National Aging I and R Support/Call Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-AOA-IR-1014) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Administration on Aging (AoA) to keep an existing national support and call center running. The core purpose is to strengthen the aging network by providing hands-on technical assistance and training that helps agencies and organizations improve their Information and Referral/Information and Assistance (I and R/I and A) systems. In practical terms, the funded center is meant to be a go-to resource that can answer questions, troubleshoot common problems, share best practices, and build staff skills so that older adults and their caregivers receive more consistent, professional, and higher-quality information and assistance services across the country.
This opportunity sits under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects. AoA planned to make a single award, meaning one organization would be selected to operate the support/call center on a national scale rather than splitting the work among multiple grantees. The expected award amount was fixed: an estimated total funding of $300,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and an award floor of $300,000. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support, depending on the terms of the full announcement) to meet the matching requirement.
Eligibility was aimed at organizations able to operate nationally and support a broad network of aging-service providers. The competition was open to national public and private nonprofit agencies and organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations. The listing indicates "Others" with further clarification referenced in the full announcement, but the plain-language eligibility statement emphasizes national nonprofit entities as the target applicants. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, AoA would typically expect to have more active involvement in the project, such as collaborating on priorities, coordinating on deliverables, and ensuring the center aligns with national aging-network objectives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 18, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of June 16, 2010.
