Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Center on Chronic Disease Self Management Education Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACL-AOA-CR-0042) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Administration on Aging (AoA), within the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It aimed to fund a single National Resource Center (the Center) through a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement in the work rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The overall purpose was to strengthen national capacity to expand, improve, and sustain evidence-based prevention programs, with a particular emphasis on Chronic Disease Self Management Education (CDSME), to improve health outcomes and quality of life for older adults and adults with disabilities.
Funding for the project came from the 2013 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF 2013). The project period was three years, contingent on continued federal funding availability. The funding levels were structured as up to $790,000 for Year 1 (an increase from the originally stated $730,000 reflected in a modified announcement), and up to $1,000,000 for each of Years 2 and 3. The estimated total funding across the full project period was $2,790,000, with an annual award ceiling of $1,000,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for qualified nonprofit organizations to apply.
The Center was expected to serve as a national hub to help states and partner networks increase access to and sustain evidence-based prevention programs. In practical terms, this meant supporting state units on aging, state public health departments, area agencies on aging, and other organizations across the aging, disability, public health, and community-based service systems. A central function of the Center was to operate as a national clearinghouse, organizing and disseminating tools, resources, and information relevant to implementing and maintaining CDSME programs. The emphasis on “sustainability†signals that the Center’s role was not only to help programs start, but also to help them continue over time through better infrastructure, partnerships, and shared implementation supports.
Eligibility was limited to public or private nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education. Applicants needed to demonstrate substantial, successful national-level leadership experience and expertise supporting the implementation and long-term continuation of CDSME and other evidence-based programs serving older adults and adults with disabilities. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly ineligible.
Administratively, the opportunity fell under the Funding Activity Category “Income Security and Social Services†and referenced CFDA 93.734, described as empowering older adults and adults with disabilities through chronic disease self-management education programs. Only one award was expected, reflecting the intent to establish a single, centralized national resource center rather than multiple regional centers. The announcement was posted May 13, 2013, with applications due June 17, 2013, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time for electronic submission, and it was archived July 17, 2013. The listed contact for access issues with the full announcement was Michele Boutaugh (Michele.Boutaugh@acl.hhs.gov), and additional information was hosted through ACL’s funding opportunity announcements page.
