Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACL AOA CSSG 0311
This funding opportunity, titled "2019 Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs Financed by the Prevention and Public Health Fund," is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered through the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and its Administration on Aging (AoA). The overall purpose is to expand and sustain evidence-based chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) and related self-management support programs that help older adults and adults with disabilities better manage ongoing health conditions. The intent is not just to run classes temporarily, but to strengthen local and regional delivery systems so these programs can grow, reach more people, and continue beyond the grant period.
ACL anticipated making roughly 10 cooperative agreement awards using FY 2019 funds, with each award running for a 36-month (three-year) project period. The program is structured around two competing tracks, each aimed at a different kind of need. The first track, called Sustainable Systems Grants, was expected to fund about six awards and is designed for larger, more comprehensive efforts. These projects focus on building integrated and sustainable systems for delivering evidence-based CDSME and self-management support, meaning applicants are expected to create or strengthen partnerships, referral pathways, infrastructure, and other system-level components that make program delivery routine, coordinated, and financially viable over time. Award sizes for this track were projected to range from $500,000 to $900,000, with an award ceiling of $900,000.
The second track, called Capacity-Building Grants, was expected to fund about four smaller awards. These grants are aimed at organizations that need to build the basic capability to introduce and deliver evidence-based CDSME and self-management support programs, particularly in underserved areas and/or among underserved populations. The emphasis here is on expanding access where programs may be limited or nonexistent, such as communities facing geographic, economic, cultural, or disability-related barriers to participation. Funding levels for this track were projected to range from $50,000 to $150,000, reflecting a narrower scope focused on initial implementation and foundational capacity rather than full system redesign.
The opportunity uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means ACL expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project. In practice, that often includes collaboration on project direction, reporting expectations, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment with federal priorities for evidence-based programming and sustainability. The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number listed is 93.734.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of public and nonprofit entities that commonly lead public health and aging or disability services initiatives. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This range suggests ACL was encouraging applications from both traditional government aging/disability networks and community-based partners who can deliver programs directly or build cross-sector systems.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number (HHS-2019-ACL-AOA-CSSG-0311) and an original posting/creation date of November 27, 2018. The application closing date was January 29, 2019, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. In summary, the grant competition was designed to either (1) fund larger system-building efforts that can scale and sustain evidence-based chronic disease self-management programming, or (2) fund smaller, targeted capacity-building efforts to bring these programs into underserved communities and populations, with roughly 10 total awards anticipated across both options.Apply for HHS 2019 ACL AOA CSSG 0311
