Opportunity Summary:
The National Hispanic Senior Medicare Patrol (NHSPM) grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging (AoA), under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). The purpose of the award is to strengthen and expand the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) network's ability to protect Hispanic older adults from Medicare and other health care fraud by improving culturally and linguistically relevant education, outreach, and complaint response. In practical terms, the program is designed to help SMP projects better reach Hispanic seniors, increase awareness of fraud risks, encourage timely reporting, and ensure that concerns raised by Hispanic beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers are handled effectively as awareness grows.
The announcement lays out four core goals. First, the funded organization is expected to enhance the skills, knowledge, and overall capacity of the existing SMP network so local SMP projects can more effectively deliver fraud prevention messages to Hispanic older adults and respond to complaints connected to Medicare or other health care fraud. Second, the awardee must provide in-depth, research-based, tailored technical assistance to selected regional SMPs that serve areas with large Hispanic populations, with an emphasis on reaching Hispanic seniors. Third, the award supports the development of innovative outreach strategies and approaches aimed at improving fraud awareness among Hispanic older adults, as well as the family members and caregivers who often help manage health care decisions. Fourth, the awardee is expected to carry out direct outreach and education in one or more high-Hispanic-population areas, using those real-world outreach activities to test the strategies being developed and refine them based on what works.
Funding is limited to a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $225,000 and an award ceiling of $225,000 (no stated minimum award floor). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project, such as collaboration, guidance, or coordination with the agency beyond what is common in a standard grant. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants must plan to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type but narrow in terms of demonstrated experience. The announcement allows applications from domestic entities except individuals, including public and private nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments and organizations, faith-based and community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education (both public and private). However, to be considered responsive for funding, applicants must demonstrate four specific qualifications: a history of work with older Hispanic adults; a history of health care fraud prevention education and outreach in the Hispanic community; experience operating a volunteer-based program; and experience with the Senior Medicare Patrol program. These four requirements function as responsiveness criteria, so applicants that cannot clearly document them would not be competitive or may be deemed nonresponsive.
Key administrative details include a posted date of July 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2011. The opportunity falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. For further details, the announcement points applicants to the AoA funding page (http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx).
