Opportunity Summary:
The Senior Legal Services - Existing Project grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-AOA-CONT-SL) is a discretionary funding competition offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging (AoA). It is designed specifically to continue support for an existing Senior Legal Services project rather than to launch a brand-new initiative. The program falls under the broader federal focus area of income security and social services, reflecting an emphasis on helping older adults address legal issues that can directly affect their financial stability, safety, and ability to live independently.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the award period, beyond what is common in a standard grant. While the source text does not describe the precise form of that involvement, cooperative agreements generally require closer coordination with the agency on program direction, reporting, and performance oversight. The anticipated number of awards is seven, indicating that a small group of current projects would be funded to continue operations or deliverables under this program area.
Award amounts are relatively defined, with an annual funding floor of $95,000 and a ceiling of $120,000 per award. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project costs as part of the award terms. Applicants would need to be prepared to document and sustain that match according to federal grant rules and whatever specific guidance AoA included in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to existing grantees. In other words, this opportunity is not open to the general public or to organizations that have not previously received and are not currently operating the relevant AoA Senior Legal Services project. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with clarification provided that eligibility is restricted to current grantees, which is consistent with the "Existing Project" language throughout the notice. The funding is associated with CFDA Number 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects, which situates the grant within AoA's established statutory authority for discretionary aging services initiatives.
Key dates for the competition include a posted date of December 16, 2008, with a creation date of December 22, 2008. The application deadline is March 31, 2009 (both the original and current closing date), and the opportunity was scheduled to be archived on April 30, 2009. Organizations that needed assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Rebecca Mann, Grants Management Specialist, at (202) 357-3423 or rebecca.mann@aoa.gov.
