Opportunity Summary:
The Pension Technical Assistance Project was a discretionary, cooperative agreement funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration on Aging (AoA). It was posted on April 22, 2008 and closed on June 10, 2008, with the opportunity later archived on July 10, 2008. The funding activity area was categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and it was tied to CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects. The announcement indicates this was an "existing project," meaning it was not designed as an open competition for new organizations, but rather as continued support within an ongoing AoA effort.
Funding was structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $294,460. The award ceiling and award floor were both set at $294,460, which effectively means the agency anticipated making one award for a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a closer working relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than would be typical under a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the agency often has substantial involvement in project direction, coordination, or oversight during the period of performance, although the specific roles and responsibilities would typically be spelled out in the full announcement.
The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, so the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources to support the project alongside federal dollars. Eligibility was limited: the listing shows "EligibleApplicants: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the eligibility information explicitly states "existing grantees." In practical terms, that language signals the competition was restricted to organizations already holding the relevant AoA grant and positioned to continue or expand that specific project, rather than welcoming new applicants.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Valerie Soroka, identified as the project officer, reachable by phone at 202-357-3531. The official identifier for the announcement was Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-AOA-CONT-PX, and the title was Pension Technical Assistance Project.
