Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Community Living (ACL), through the Administration on Aging (AoA), announced a discretionary funding opportunity to award a single cooperative agreement to operate the National Long Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center. The purpose of this center is to serve as a national hub of training, technical assistance, and practical support for State Long Term Care Ombudsman Programs and their local ombudsmen across every U.S. state, territory, and the District of Columbia. In plain terms, the grant funds one organization to help strengthen and modernize the ombudsman network that advocates for people living in nursing homes and other long term care facilities, with an emphasis on improving complaint handling and resident advocacy.
The opportunity is structured around two main goals for the new grant cycle. First, the Center is expected to enhance the skills, knowledge, and management capacity of state ombudsman programs so they can respond effectively to residents complaints and represent residents interests not only in individual cases, but also at a broader, systemic level when patterns of problems show up across facilities or regions. Second, the Center is expected to strengthen this core Older Americans Act (OAA) program by identifying and developing innovative and effective approaches that states can use to deliver Long Term Care Ombudsman services to residents. This signals that the funder is looking for both strong day-to-day capacity building (training, tools, coaching) and forward-looking improvements (new models, promising practices, and better ways to reach residents and resolve issues).
This was released as Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-OM-0071, titled National Ombudsman Resource Center, under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means ACL anticipates a more active partnership with the awardee than a typical grant, including ongoing federal involvement in shaping priorities, deliverables, and implementation. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the programs role in protecting residents rights, wellbeing, and access to appropriate care and services.
Only one award was expected, with total estimated funding of $541,407. The announcement lists the award floor and ceiling as the same amount ($541,407), indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to plan for contributing non-federal resources according to the terms in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted April 16, 2014, with an original closing date of May 12, 2014, later extended to May 16, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was June 16, 2014.
Eligibility was limited to domestic public or private nonprofit entities. This included state and local governments, Indian tribal governments and organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly ineligible. The listing also notes an “Others†category with a reference to additional eligibility details in the full announcement, meaning applicants were expected to confirm specifics through ACLs published guidance.
