Opportunity Summary:
The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Integration Projects grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is built around ACLs Senior Medicare Patrol mission: helping Medicare beneficiaries, along with their families and caregivers, prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse. SMP efforts focus on practical consumer education and support, including teaching people how to protect their Medicare numbers, review Medicare Summary Notices for possible billing problems, and take appropriate steps to report suspicious activity. The program also relies heavily on recruiting and training volunteers who deliver outreach, counseling, and educational activities in their communities.
This particular announcement is aimed at expanding the SMP programs reach by improving how SMP projects connect with groups that have traditionally been harder to reach through standard outreach methods. ACL is seeking applicants who will design and test targeted outreach and education strategies that help SMP grantees effectively engage these populations while maintaining high-quality, culturally competent service delivery. A key expectation is that projects will not only conduct outreach, but also build supportive infrastructure for the broader SMP network by promoting national partnerships and producing tools SMP sites can reuse, such as tailored educational materials, outreach approaches, and dissemination plans.
ACL intends to make up to three cooperative agreements, with one award aligned to each of three priority populations: (1) Medicare beneficiaries under age 65, (2) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) seniors, and (3) American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Medicare beneficiaries. The cooperative agreement format signals that ACL expects to have an active role in the projects beyond a standard grant relationship, typically through collaboration, guidance, and coordination during the project period. The goal is to develop approaches that SMP projects across the country can adopt to better integrate these communities into fraud-prevention education and assistance efforts.
Funding is planned at a total estimated level of $450,000 across all awards. Each award can be as high as $150,000, with an award floor of $75,000, and projects are planned for a 17-month period, contingent on federal funding availability. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects) and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility is broadly open to organizations (including faith-based and community organizations) that meet the requirements described in the announcement, but individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible to apply or receive awards. The original posting date was May 3, 2013, with an application deadline of June 24, 2013 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2013-ACL-AOA-SM-0057, and questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Rebecca Kinney at Rebecca.Kinney@acl.hhs.gov.
