Funding Opportunity Title/Program Name: Aging and Disability Resource Center Initiative: Building Upon Success.
Announcement Type: Initial.
Funding Opportunity Number: HHS2006AoADR0605.
Statutory Authority: The Older Americans Act, Public Law 106501.

I. Funding Opportunity Description
In FY 2003, the Administration on Aging (AoA) and the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) formed a historic partnership to
launch the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) demonstration
grant initiative. The goal of the ADRC program is to empower
individuals to make informed choices and to streamline access to long
term support services. AoA and CMS share a vision to have Resource
Centers in every community serving as highly visible and trusted places
where people of all ages can turn for information on the full range of
long term support options and a single point of entry to public long
term support programs and benefits. ADRCs are a resource for both
public and privatepay individuals. They serve older adults, younger
individuals with disabilities, family caregivers, as well as persons
planning for future long term support needs. ADRCs are also a resource
for health and long term support professionals and others who provide
services to older adults and to people with disabilities. Since FY
2003, 43 states have received three year grants from AoA and CMS to
design and implement ADRC demonstrations serving the elderly and at
least one other target population of adults with disabilities in at
least one community. An ADRC Program Announcement published in FY 2003
resulted in the funding of twelve states that year with an additional
twelve states funded to develop ADRC programs in FY 2004. Nineteen
additional states were funded to develop ADRC programs based on a
Program Announcement published in FY 2005. To view the Program
Announcements published in FY 2003 and FY 2005 go to http://www.aoa.gov/prof/aging_dis/background.asp. For more information on the
43 funded ADRC projects go to http://www.adrctae.org.
This announcement seeks proposals for competitive grants to assist
states funded to develop ADRCs in FY 2003 to significantly expand their
existing Resource Center programs. Building on current efforts, state
Resource Center programs funded under this Program Announcement will be:
(1) Expanded to provide services to additional communities, and/or;
(2) Positioned to assume the role as the only entry point to publicly funded longterm support systems, and/or;
(3) Enhanced to provide more efficient and effective access services.
A detailed description of the funding opportunity may be found at http://www.aoa.gov/doingbus/fundopp/fundopp.asp. II. Award Information
1. Funding Instrument Type
These new grants will be issued as cooperative agreements because
AoA, in cooperation with CMS, anticipates having substantial
involvement with the recipients during performance of funded
activities. This involvement may include collaboration, participation,
or intervention in the funded activities. AoA, in cooperation with CMS,
will also be involved in the development and implementation of the
funded projects by way of conducting a review of the applications and
providing technical assistance, training, guidance, and oversight
throughout the twoyear project period. Grantees will be expected to
keep in contact with their Federal project officer on a regular basis.
Grantees will also be expected to share all significant products that result from their projects with AoA.
2. Anticipated Total Priority Area Funding Per Budget Period
The total amount of Federal funds available for this funding
opportunity is $4 million. AoA anticipates funding 10 projects
nationwide for a period of up to 2 years. The maximum Federal award for
the entire 2year project period is approximately $400,000. Applicants
are encouraged to develop project budgets that reflect annual Federal funding of approximately $200,000 for each project year.
