Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOA PPUC 0297
The grant opportunity titled "Information and Planning: Understanding the Capacity of the Aging Network" is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically through the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and its Administration on Aging (AoA). It was released on June 5, 2018, under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2018-ACL-AOA-PPUC-0297, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. That structure matters because a cooperative agreement typically implies substantial federal involvement during the project period, meaning the recipient should expect ongoing coordination, collaboration, and direction from ACL/AoA rather than operating with the more hands-off approach often associated with standard grants.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen understanding of the "aging network" by building or improving a comprehensive system for documenting and reporting what key network entities do, what they know, and what capabilities they have. In practical terms, the project is meant to capture and organize information about the activities and expertise of Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Tribal Organizations, with a particular emphasis on health-related work and the delivery of community-based services and supports. The overall aim is not simply to collect data for its own sake, but to use better information to more accurately understand needs across the network, identify gaps and strengths, and support more effective planning and decision-making for services that help older adults remain healthy and supported in their communities.
Funding is limited and highly competitive in scale because ACL/AoA anticipated making only one award. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $300,000. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.048. The applicant eligibility is not broadly defined in the short synopsis and is instead indicated as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that prospective applicants would need to consult the full announcement to confirm whether their organization type is eligible and whether any special conditions apply (for example, eligibility that may be limited to certain nonprofit entities, research or technical assistance organizations, or other specified partners capable of building reporting and documentation systems at a national or multi-jurisdictional level).
The application deadline for the original competition was August 6, 2018, with electronically submitted applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. Because this was an ACL/AoA cooperative agreement, a successful applicant would likely be expected to demonstrate both strong technical capacity (for example, expertise in data systems, performance measurement, documentation standards, or structured reporting) and strong field knowledge of aging services infrastructure, including how AAAs and Tribal Organizations operate, the kinds of services they provide, and the real-world constraints of local and tribal service delivery. In short, the opportunity focused on improving the quality and consistency of information about aging network capacity so the federal government and its partners can better understand what resources exist, where expertise resides, and what is needed to improve community-based supports for older adults.Apply for HHS 2018 ACL AOA PPUC 0297
