Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Center for LGBT Aging grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2013 ACL AOA LG 0046) is a discretionary, competitive funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically through the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA). Its main purpose is to establish and operate a national-level resource center focused on improving services and supports for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. The funded project is expected to build on prior progress and proven innovations in LGBT aging work while developing new, efficient, and sustainable approaches that strengthen the quality and cultural competence of services delivered through the aging network and related community systems.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency anticipates having an active partnership role during the project period rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement. ACL/AoA planned to make one single award under this announcement. The maximum federal funding level was up to $295,540 per year for a two-year project period, for a total potential federal investment of up to roughly $591,080 across both years, contingent on the availability of federal funds. The announcement indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget and demonstrate how that match would be met.
The core activities supported by this grant center on technical assistance, training, and support delivered at a national scale. Applicants were expected to demonstrate the ability to work across the country with a wide range of audiences, including aging network entities such as State Units on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, and local service providers; LGBT-focused organizations; and older LGBT consumers themselves. In practice, this kind of national resource center typically functions as a hub for guidance, tools, curricula, promising practices, and consultation that help mainstream aging services become more welcoming, accessible, and competent in meeting the needs of LGBT older adults. A central expectation in the announcement is that the project will help ensure high-quality and culturally competent service delivery, reflecting the reality that many older LGBT adults have faced historical discrimination, may be less likely to seek services, and can encounter barriers when accessing traditional aging programs.
A notable requirement in the opportunity is stakeholder engagement. Applicants needed to show the support and active involvement of a range of stakeholders broad enough to ensure that all FOA requirements would be addressed. This implies a strong emphasis on collaboration and field input, likely including aging services leadership, direct service providers, advocates, LGBT community organizations, and older adults with lived experience. The intent is to ensure the resource center is not operating in isolation, but is grounded in real needs, responsive to diverse communities, and positioned to spread effective practices across systems.
Eligibility was broadly described as unrestricted, meaning many types of domestic organizations could apply if they met the standard requirements in the full announcement. Faith-based and community organizations were explicitly noted as eligible if they meet eligibility requirements. At the same time, certain applicants were not allowed to compete: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations were ineligible. The funding falls under CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects, within the activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
Key dates for the competition included an initial posting on March 20, 2013, with an original closing date of April 29, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of May 7, 2013. The opportunity was archived on May 29, 2013. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed federal contact was Greg Link at ACL (Greg.Link@acl.hhs.gov).
