Opportunity Summary:
The SSA Retirement Research Consortium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SSA OAG 10 2) is a discretionary, cooperative agreement funding action offered by the Social Security Administration to support the continued operation of existing Retirement Research Consortium (RRC) projects for an additional twelve months. The purpose is not to launch new centers or recruit new institutions, but to extend current RRC work beyond the end of the existing budget period, which is scheduled to conclude on September 29, 2010. The program is authorized under Section 1110 of the Social Security Act and is framed as a way for SSA to maintain the RRC as a national resource that produces high-quality research and helps communicate and educate stakeholders on issues related to retirement policy.
This opportunity is specifically structured as a non-competing continuation. In practical terms, that means the only organizations eligible to apply are those that already hold an SSA RRC award and whose current budget period ends on September 29, 2010. The listing of eligible applicants as "Others" is clarified by the eligibility statement: eligibility is restricted to current awardees only, so new applicants, first-time institutions, or organizations outside the existing consortium are not eligible under this notice. Because it is a continuation action rather than an open competition, SSA notes that there is no published program announcement in the typical sense.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between SSA and the award recipients than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, the agency usually anticipates substantial involvement in the funded work, such as coordinating research priorities, facilitating dissemination activities, or aligning deliverables with agency needs related to retirement policy analysis and public understanding. The program is categorized under the Health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 96.007, Social Security Research and Demonstration.
From a funding standpoint, SSA anticipates making three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $7,500,000. The award ceiling is listed as $2,750,000, which signals the maximum expected amount for any single award under this continuation period. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees should expect to contribute non-federal resources or meet matching expectations as part of the budget structure, consistent with the terms of their continuation and the agency's requirements.
Key dates show the notice was posted May 14, 2010 (created May 17, 2010), with an application deadline of June 30, 2010. Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov by the closing date. The archive date is August 31, 2010, reflecting when the opportunity would be removed from active listing after the application window closed.
For applicants needing assistance accessing materials or navigating the submission process, the point of contact provided is Audrey Adams, Grants Management Specialist at SSA, reachable by phone at 410-965-9469 or by email at audrey.adams@ssa.gov.
