Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "PPHF 2014 Evidence Based Falls Prevention Programs Financed Solely by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF 2014)" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-FP-0083), was a discretionary funding announcement from the Administration for Community Living (ACL), administered through the Administration on Aging (AoA). It offered cooperative agreement awards (not standard grants), meaning AoA expected to be substantially involved in the funded projects through ongoing collaboration, guidance, and oversight. The program sat within the broader public purpose of income security and social services and was tied to CFDA 93.761.
The core goal was to expand participation in evidence-based, community-delivered falls prevention programs for populations at elevated risk of falls. The emphasis was not only on increasing reach to more participants, but also on improving long-term staying power of these programs by encouraging "innovative financing arrangements" that could help sustain service delivery beyond the federal project period. Target populations specifically included older adults, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian elders, and adults with disabilities who are at risk for falls, reflecting an intent to support both general aging services systems and culturally relevant approaches in Tribal communities.
The announcement offered two separate funding options, and applicants were required to choose only one. Option 1 (state grants) was intended to support broad scaling and sustainability work through approximately 8 to 10 awards, with an average award size of about $400,000, for a two-year forward-funded project period. Option 2 (tribal grants) was designed specifically for Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal Organizations, supporting roughly five awards of up to $100,000 each, also for a two-year forward-funded period. Applicants had to clearly label which option they were applying under, and submitting to both was not permitted.
Total estimated funding across the competition was $4,440,000, with an expectation of about 15 awards overall. The listing showed no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for participation, especially for smaller organizations and Tribal entities that may not have flexible funds available to meet match expectations. While the published record displayed award ceiling and floor fields as zero, the narrative description effectively communicated the expected scale for each option (average for Option 1 and maximum for Option 2), which is what applicants would have relied on for budgeting.
Eligibility depended on the option selected. For Option 1, eligible applicants included domestic public or private nonprofit entities, explicitly naming state and local governments, Indian tribal governments and organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education. Option 2 eligibility was narrower, limited to Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal Organizations representing Federally Recognized Tribes. The opportunity explicitly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from applying or receiving awards.
Timing and administrative details were clearly laid out. The opportunity was posted May 22, 2014 (with a creation date of May 29, 2014), and applications were due July 8, 2014, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The anticipated project start date for funded cooperative agreements was September 1, 2014, and the announcement was later archived on August 7, 2014. The funding announcement also included an ACL link for accessing official postings and provided a point of contact (Michele Boutaugh at Michele.Boutaugh@acl.hhs.gov) for help obtaining the full announcement if applicants had trouble accessing it online.
In practical terms, this opportunity was built to help communities and Tribal nations take proven, evidence-based falls prevention models and expand them in real-world community settings, while simultaneously pushing grantees to think beyond short-term delivery by developing financing approaches that could keep programs running after federal funds ended. The cooperative agreement structure reinforced that AoA expected active engagement during implementation to help ensure fidelity to evidence-based approaches, measurable expansion in participation, and movement toward sustainability.
