Opportunity Summary:
The Senior Medicare Patrol Project Existing Continuation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA CONT MP) was a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA). It was designed specifically as a continuation of already funded Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) projects rather than a general open competition for new applicants. In practical terms, this meant the purpose was to keep existing SMP efforts operating and advancing, supporting the ongoing work of educating and empowering Medicare beneficiaries to detect, prevent, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse, consistent with the broader AoA mission of supporting services that protect the well-being and financial security of older adults.
This grant fell under the Funding Activity Category of Income Security and Social Services and was associated with CFDA 93.048, described as Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title IID Discretionary Projects. The announcement anticipated 28 awards, reflecting the continuation nature of the program across multiple existing project sites. The total estimated funding available was $4,663,313, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $75,000 to a ceiling of $180,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, indicating that recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project, either in cash or approved in-kind support, based on the terms in their continuation award requirements.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Applicants needed to already hold an existing continuation grant for the Senior Medicare Patrol Program. The listing of eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)" is consistent with opportunities that are limited to a defined set of current grantees rather than open to states, local governments, or the general nonprofit community. In other words, this was essentially a renewal/continuation mechanism for established SMP grantees, not an entry point for first-time organizations.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on February 14, 2008, with a creation date of February 22, 2008. The original and current closing date were both April 9, 2008, and the announcement was archived on May 9, 2008. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the opportunity category was discretionary, meaning the agency had programmatic and competitive discretion within the continuation framework and applicable federal grant rules.
For applicants or stakeholders needing more information at the time, the opportunity pointed to the AoA website (www.aoa.gov) and provided a direct contact for access issues related to the full announcement: Cecelia Aldridge, Grants Management Specialist, at (202) 357-3422.
