Opportunity Summary:
The National Legal Assistance and Elder Rights - Existing Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 AOA CONT LA) was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging (AoA). It supported ongoing work in the area of legal assistance and elder rights under CFDA 93.048, which covers Special Programs for the Aging (Title IV and Title II discretionary projects). The listing indicates this was an "existing project" continuation-style opportunity, meaning it was not broadly open to new applicants and was designed to sustain or extend work already underway rather than launch brand-new, first-time projects.
Funding was provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant. In practice, this often includes closer coordination with AoA on project direction, reporting, performance expectations, and possibly participation in federal technical assistance or evaluation activities. The activity category was Income Security and Social Services, aligning the program with services and protections that help older adults maintain stability, access benefits, and safeguard their rights.
The announcement anticipated making up to five awards. Individual award amounts were expected to range from an award floor of $200,000 to an award ceiling of $325,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with the specific rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to existing grantees. Although the Eligible Applicants field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the provided eligibility information makes clear that only organizations already holding the relevant AoA awards were eligible to apply. This kind of restriction is typical for continuation funding where the agency is seeking proposals only from current recipients to carry existing, federally-supported work forward.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on December 16, 2008, created on December 22, 2008, and had an application deadline (original and current) of May 29, 2009. The archive date was June 28, 2009, meaning the opportunity is no longer active and was formally closed out in the grants listing system after that point.
For applicant support, the contact person listed was Rebecca Mann, Grants Management Specialist at the Administration on Aging. The notice provided help specifically for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. Her phone number was 202-357-3423 and her email was rebecca.mann@aoa.gov.
