Opportunity Summary:
The Administration for Community Living, through its Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA), announced a discretionary grant competition to fund a single cooperative agreement to operate the National Nutrition and Aging Resource Center (NRC). The core purpose of the NRC is to strengthen the nationwide nutrition services system that supports older adults by serving as a central hub for training, technical assistance, and ongoing support. The winning organization would be expected to help State Units on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, and local nutrition program providers across all states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia improve how they design, manage, and sustain nutrition programs for older individuals.
The opportunity emphasizes two major outcomes for the new award cycle. First, ACL/AoA wants the Resource Center to enhance the skills, knowledge, business acumen, and long-term sustainability of the nutrition and aging network. In practice, that points to practical capacity-building: strengthening program administration, improving operational efficiency, helping providers navigate funding constraints, and supporting smarter planning and management so nutrition services can remain viable and effective over time. Second, ACL/AoA wants to expand and organize information about programs and practices that show promise, especially approaches that successfully integrate nutrition services into the broader home- and community-based services (HCBS) network. This reflects a broader policy push to coordinate nutrition supports with other community services that help older adults remain independent, such as case management, caregiving supports, transportation, and other community-based assistance.
This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects substantial involvement during the project, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The anticipated project period is three years, structured as three one-year budget periods, with continuation dependent on the availability of funds and likely on acceptable performance. The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $225,000, and the award ceiling and floor were both listed at $225,000, signaling ACL/AoA expected to make exactly one award at that set amount. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget.
Eligibility was broad but limited to domestic, non-profit or public entities with strong demonstrated expertise. Eligible applicants included public and private non-profit organizations (including state and local governments), Indian tribal governments and organizations, faith-based and community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education. The announcement also listed specific eligible categories such as public and state-controlled universities, private universities, state governments, and county governments, as well as 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) non-profits (other than institutions of higher education). To be competitive, applicants were expected to show extensive knowledge and a proven track record related to nutrition for older adults and the practical business of administering nutrition programs within the aging network. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly ineligible.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number was HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-NU-0075, and it fell under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects), within the Food and Nutrition activity category. The announcement was posted April 10, 2014, with an application deadline of May 28, 2014, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived June 27, 2014. The point of contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Holly Greuling at Holly.Greuling@acl.gov.
