Opportunity Summary:
The National Hispanic SMP (NHSMP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2011 AOA MP 1102) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Administration on Aging under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). It is designed as a targeted expansion of the existing National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) work, which has been operating since September 2008. Historically, the NHSMP has focused on providing technical assistance to SMP projects nationwide on issues affecting Hispanic communities, such as language access, cultural barriers, and outreach approaches that resonate with older Hispanic adults.
The underlying purpose of the broader SMP program is to prevent or reduce the major financial losses that occur each year from Medicare and Medicaid fraud, errors, and abuse. The opportunity highlights Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data indicating that Medicare fraud is a significant problem in Hispanic communities. It also emphasizes that older Hispanic adults can be especially vulnerable to fraud because they may be more socially isolated from the broader population, often due to a mix of linguistic barriers and cultural factors. In practical terms, these vulnerabilities can make it harder for individuals to recognize scams, ask questions, report suspicious billing, or access trusted sources of help when something seems wrong.
This particular funding action is framed as an expansion from technical assistance into direct intervention, with a geographic focus on South Florida, especially Miami and Dade counties. The expectation is that funded activities will be tailored to the distinctive characteristics of the older Hispanic population in that region and will directly increase awareness of the SMP program and Medicare fraud prevention. In other words, applicants are expected to do more than produce general educational materials; they are expected to carry out on-the-ground outreach and engagement efforts that are culturally and linguistically appropriate, aimed at improving knowledge, changing behaviors related to fraud prevention, and increasing use of SMP resources for questions and reporting.
Funding is fixed and limited: one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $335,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $335,000, indicating a single, set award size rather than a range. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources toward the project in addition to the federal funds. Eligibility is specialized: the announcement states this opportunity is to supplement NHCOA's SMP grant, which effectively signals that it is intended for a specific recipient or a very narrow pool defined in the full eligibility language.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on November 23, 2010, with an original closing date of December 5, 2010, and a current closing date of December 6, 2010. The opportunity was archived on January 4, 2011. For official guidance or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed grants management contact is Sean Lewis, Grants Management Specialist, at (202) 357-3445.
