Opportunity Summary:
The SSA Financial Literacy Research Consortium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SSA OAG 10 3) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Social Security Administration to support a one-year continuation of work already underway within the Financial Literacy Research Consortium (FLRC). The purpose is not to launch new projects, but to provide up to twelve additional months of funding so existing SSA-funded FLRC efforts can continue beyond their current budget period, which ends on September 29, 2010. The program is authorized under Section 1110 of the Social Security Act and is framed around building a national resource for research and development that tests and advances ways to encourage savings by improving financial literacy.
This is a continuation-focused funding action rather than an open, competitive competition. Eligibility is limited strictly to organizations that already hold an SSA FLRC award and whose current budget period ends on September 29, 2010. In other words, only current consortium awardees can apply, and the opportunity is described as a non-competing continuation; because of that, SSA notes there is no standard published announcement in the usual sense. The agency still requires that applications be submitted through Grants.gov by the deadline.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, SSA anticipated making about three awards under this opportunity. The estimated total funding available is $9,000,000, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means SSA expects substantial involvement in the project during the performance period (for example, coordination, technical input, or collaboration on deliverables), as opposed to a more hands-off grant structure. The opportunity lists a cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating awardees must contribute non-federal resources according to the terms of the continuation award.
Key dates include a posted date of May 14, 2010, with an application closing date of June 30, 2010 (and submissions required via Grants.gov by that date). The archive date is August 31, 2010. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 96.007 (Social Security Research and Demonstration) and is categorized under the activity area of Health, reflecting SSA's broader interest in research and demonstrations that can affect financial well-being and long-term economic security.
For applicants needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, SSA provided a point of contact: Audrey Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 410-965-9469.
