Opportunity Summary:
The Pension Technical Assistance Project (Existing Project) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration on Aging (AoA). It was published under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-AOA-CONT-PX and focused on the program area of Income Security and Social Services. The underlying purpose, as indicated by the title and program context, was to support technical assistance related to pensions, aligning with AoA's broader mission of strengthening services and supports that help older adults maintain economic security.
This opportunity was issued specifically as an "existing project," meaning it was not open to brand-new applicants. Eligibility was limited to existing grantees, and the listing of eligible applicants as "Others (see text field...)" is clarified by the eligibility note stating that only current/continuing recipients were intended to apply. In practice, opportunities framed this way typically support the continuation of an already funded, established project rather than launching a new initiative, often with an emphasis on maintaining capacity, refining deliverables, or extending previously approved work.
The funding mechanism was a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a closer working relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the agency commonly anticipates substantial involvement such as collaboration on priorities, coordination on deliverables, or participation in planning and oversight activities tied to the project. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that it was likely meant to continue or renew one specific ongoing effort rather than fund multiple competing projects.
The award funding range was relatively narrow, with an award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs, consistent with the terms established in the full announcement and the recipient's approved budget structure. The program was associated with CFDA Number 93.048, listed as Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title IID Discretionary Projects, which is a longstanding AoA authority for targeted discretionary initiatives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 17, 2008, created on December 22, 2008, and had an application closing date of May 29, 2009 (both original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on June 28, 2009. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Rebecca Mann, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-357-3423 or via email at rebecca.mann@aoa.gov.
