A detailed description of the funding

I. Funding Opportunity Description
1. Funding Instrument Type
These additional funds will be issued
as part of the 2004 ADRC existing
cooperative agreements. 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 two-year
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.
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 private-pay 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
https://www.aoa.gov/prof/aging_dis/
background.asp. For more information
on the 43 funded ADRC projects go to
https://www.adrc-tae.org.
This announcement seeks proposals
for competitive supplemental grants to
assist states funded to develop ADRCs
in FY2004 to expand their existing
Resource Center programs. Building on
current efforts, states will be able to
advance the ADRC project through one
or more of the following ways:
• Expansion of the ADRC to
additional communities;
