Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA PPUC 0035
The grant opportunity titled "Information and Planning: Understanding the Capacity of the Aging Network" is a discretionary funding competition administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically the Administration on Aging (AoA). It was posted on May 3, 2021, with an application deadline of July 2, 2021. The program falls under the Income Security and Social Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.048. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in guiding the work during the project period rather than functioning only as a pass-through funder.
The purpose of the award is to strengthen understanding of the "aging network" by building or improving a comprehensive system for documenting and reporting what key network entities do and what expertise they bring to the table. In practical terms, the focus is on Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Tribal Organizations and how they deliver health-related and community-based services and supports. The intent is not just to collect data for its own sake, but to help ACL and its partners better identify needs, describe capacity, and address gaps across the national infrastructure that serves older adults and, in many cases, people with disabilities and caregivers who rely on home- and community-based supports.
The opportunity indicates ACL expects to make a single award (one cooperative agreement total), with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $281,244. With only one anticipated award, the project is positioned as a centralized effort intended to produce tools, methods, or a reporting framework that can be used broadly across jurisdictions rather than being limited to a local demonstration. The emphasis on "documenting and reporting" suggests a deliverable-driven project that could include standard definitions, common metrics, data collection and validation processes, and a structure for ongoing updates that make AAA and Tribal Organization activities more visible and comparable across programs and geographies.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility text (not included in the excerpt). That phrasing typically signals that the competition may be open to certain types of organizations beyond state or local governments, such as nonprofit organizations, research or evaluation entities, technical assistance providers, universities, or other qualified organizations with relevant expertise in aging services systems, data/reporting infrastructure, and community-based service delivery. The core expectation, however, is that the recipient will be able to work effectively across the aging network, coordinate with AAAs and Tribal partners, and produce a system that accurately reflects their activities and capacity in areas tied to health and community-based supports.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted planning and information-building investment: ACL is funding a single, nationally oriented effort to create a more complete and usable picture of what the aging network can do, what it is doing now, and what it needs to better meet demand. The end goal is improved decision-making and better alignment of resources and strategies to support older adults through community-based services and supports, informed by consistent, structured reporting from AAAs and Tribal Organizations.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA PPUC 0035
