Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOA HDRC 0411
The Administration for Community Living (ACL), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, forecast a discretionary funding opportunity called "Strengthening Aging Services for Minority Populations Through Technical Assistance, Resource Development, and Program Coordination" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2020-ACL-AOA-HDRC-0411; CFDA 93.048). The program is structured as one funding opportunity announcement that contains two related cooperative agreement options. An applicant can apply to one or both options, but the most any single applicant can receive is two total awards: one as a Minority Aging Technical Assistance and Resource Center (TARC) focused on a specific population, and one as the Coordinating Center that ties the TARCs together. The overall intent is to strengthen the aging services network's ability to reach older adults who are underserved due to race, ethnicity, culture, English proficiency, and sexual orientation or gender identity, in line with the Older Americans Act emphasis on targeting services to those with the greatest economic and social need.
Opportunity 1 funds the Minority Aging Technical Assistance and Resource Center (TARC) Program. ACL anticipated up to five awards under this track, with each award intended to specialize in one priority population: African American, Hispanic, Asian Pacific Islander, Native American, or LGBT older adults. Award amounts were tightly bounded, with an award ceiling of $221,000 and an award floor of $215,000, and ACL specified that no organization could receive more than one award under Opportunity 1 (meaning an entity could not run TARCs for multiple populations). The rationale for this track is that diverse older adults often face distinct barriers when trying to access home- and community-based services and other long-term care supports, and many organizations that serve older adults report needing practical training and technical assistance to engage these communities effectively. Under this track, grantees are expected to build national capacity by developing and widely disseminating culturally appropriate training, tools, and technical assistance that address varied, real-world needs such as economic security, service access, housing, self-advocacy, family and caregiver supports, and trauma-informed approaches. A second core expectation is to develop, test, and share concrete methods agencies can use when working one-on-one with diverse older adults and their family caregivers, so that frontline interactions and service navigation improve in measurable, replicable ways.
Opportunity 2 funds a single Coordinating Center for the Minority Aging TARC Program. ACL anticipated one award for this role, with an award ceiling of $75,000 and an award floor of $50,000. The Coordinating Center is designed to make the five population-specific TARCs function like a unified system rather than isolated projects. In practice, that means organizing collaboration across the TARCs, promoting consistent information-sharing with the broader Aging Network and with other ACL-funded resource centers, and making sure joint learning happens through regular trainings, webinars, and shared conference presentations. The Coordinating Center is also expected to develop and test coordination methods that improve how the TARCs align their technical assistance efforts while still preserving the specialized expertise each center brings. In addition, this center is tasked with looking beyond the initial target groups to identify ways to expand reach to other diverse populations, including people with disabilities, and to explore how strong practices from the aging network can be replicated or translated for disability services networks.
Across both opportunities, the underlying policy problem is that even though the aging services network routinely meets formal targeting requirements, there is still substantial room to improve how effectively services are tailored, communicated, and delivered to communities that have historically faced isolation or inequitable access. The cooperative agreement structure signals that ACL expects an active federal partnership with awardees, and the combined six expected awards (five TARCs plus one Coordinating Center) are meant to create both deep expertise within specific communities and a coordinated national resource that can lift practice across systems. Key administrative details included an unrestricted eligibility approach (open to any entity type, subject to any additional eligibility language in the announcement), an original application due date of May 29, 2020, and an electronic submission deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOA HDRC 0411
