Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting States Developing Evidence Based Disease Prevention Programs and Delivery Systems" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA BP 1016) was released by the Administration on Aging (AoA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a discretionary cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening and expanding the national infrastructure for evidence-based disease and disability prevention programs for older adults. At the time of the announcement (February 2010), AoA had already funded 24 states to operate Evidence Based Disease and Disability Prevention (EBDP) programs, and this opportunity was designed to build on that foundation by investing in the central support system that helps states and communities implement these programs effectively and consistently.
A key focus of the funding is support for a national resource center that serves as the backbone for training, technical assistance, and system development for EBDP delivery. The announcement highlights that an infrastructure already existed, including roughly 1,200 community-based program delivery sites, national training and certification efforts, standardized training materials and marketing guides, and established quality assurance and fidelity protocols to ensure programs are delivered as intended. The resource center is expected to work closely with AoA as well as both current and future state grantees to strengthen the workforce and operational systems needed to deliver evidence-based interventions at scale, rather than funding direct services in a single location. The overall intent is to build and sustain a coordinated national delivery system so that proven prevention programs can be adopted broadly and maintained over time.
Programmatically, the opportunity emphasizes evidence-based prevention initiatives that address common and costly health risks for older adults. Examples listed include falls management and falls prevention, physical activity promotion, nutrition and diet interventions, and programs addressing depression and substance abuse. The resource center is expected to help states implement these and similar evidence-based models by providing guidance, training support, and implementation tools that can be used across diverse community settings. Another major component is partnership development: the grant is structured to promote continued growth of collaboration at both the state and local levels, recognizing that prevention programming for older adults depends on coordinated work among aging services networks, public health agencies, and health sector partners.
The announcement explicitly ties the initiative to broader federal prevention priorities under the Obama Administration and HHS prevention strategies, including prevention-focused efforts associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the "Communities Putting Prevention to Work" initiative. In practice, this means the project is expected to align with a prevention-first approach and support statewide and community systems that can deliver measurable improvements in health and functioning among older adults, while also helping states build policy and leadership capacity around prevention.
The partnership expectations are detailed and reflect the structure of the aging and public health systems. The project is intended to advance collaborations between State Units on Aging and State Health Departments to strengthen health policy leadership and coordination. At the community level, it seeks to reinforce local partnerships involving Area Agencies on Aging, local public health departments, nonprofit aging services providers, health and health insurance organizations, and other public and private partners. This reflects an understanding that long-term sustainability for evidence-based prevention programs often depends on braided funding, referrals and recruitment pipelines, shared training resources, and buy-in from both healthcare and community-based organizations.
In terms of award structure and funding, AoA planned to make a single award under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000 and a fixed award floor and ceiling of $650,000, indicating one recipient would receive the full amount. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project through collaboration, guidance, and shared oversight rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources to support the project.
Eligibility is targeted to organizations positioned to operate at a national scale. Applicants must be nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and the opportunity specifies that the applicant should be a national nonprofit organization with at least five years of demonstrated successful experience providing technical assistance to State Units on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, and community-level aging services providers, specifically related to implementing chronic disease prevention programs for older adults. This requirement indicates AoA was looking for an established organization with proven national reach and experience in the practical challenges of implementing evidence-based models across multiple states and community contexts.
Key dates included a posted date of April 19, 2010, and an application closing date of May 25, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on June 24, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title IID Discretionary Projects), placing it within AoA's broader discretionary funding authorities for aging services innovation, training, and systems development.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as an investment in the national "support and delivery infrastructure" for evidence-based prevention programs for older adults, centered on a national resource center that helps states and communities implement high-fidelity, quality-assured programs while expanding cross-sector partnerships that make prevention programming scalable and sustainable.
