Opportunity Summary:
The Pension Counseling Technical Resource and Assistance Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA PX 0816) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Administration on Aging (AoA) focused on strengthening pension counseling support services for older adults. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning AoA would expect to have an active partnership role in the funded work rather than simply providing funds with minimal ongoing involvement. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects.
This announcement is specifically for a programmatic supplement to an existing project rather than a brand-new competitive grant. AoA planned to make up to one award only, with an estimated total federal share of about $65,540. The funding amount is fixed in this announcement, with the award ceiling and award floor both listed as $65,540, which effectively indicates a single supplement amount rather than a range. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the terms laid out in the full announcement.
The core purpose of the supplement is to enhance the legal and operational support services already being delivered through AoA's Pension Counseling and Information Program. In practical terms, the funding is intended to bolster the capacity of the Technical Resource and Assistance Center function supporting pension counseling work, improving the support services that help deliver counseling, information, and related assistance in the pension arena. The announcement emphasizes strengthening existing pension counseling support services rather than expanding eligibility or creating a new technical assistance entity.
Eligibility is intentionally limited. While the general eligibility field notes "Others" and refers readers to additional eligibility text, the announcement makes clear that competition is restricted to the current AoA-funded Technical Resource and Assistance Center grantee under the Pension Counseling and Information Program. In this case, the only eligible applicant is the Pension Rights Center located in Washington, DC. This limitation reflects the fact that AoA is issuing a supplement to an incumbent grantee to enhance ongoing work, not opening a broader competition to new organizations.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 30, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 28, 2008, and an archive date of August 27, 2008. The announcement directs applicants to the full program announcement for complete requirements and details. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Valerie Soroka at AoA (valerie.soroka@aoa.gov).
