Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible Applicants Eligible applicants are Community Aging Service Providers (CASPs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs). A CASP is defined as a not-for-profit community-based organization that has a history and mission focused on the provision of home and community-based social service primarily for older people and currently receives funding under the Older Americans Act (OAA). AAAs are agencies officially designated as such by a State Unit on Aging under the provisions of the Older Americans Act. Faith-based organizations and Tribal organizations that fit this definition of a CASP or AAA are encouraged to apply. AAAs can only apply as an AAA. No organization or agency may seek more than one grant under this competition. Not-for-profit organizations must submit proof of non-profit status as required in Section IV below.
Grant Description: As new options for older people are emerging in health and long term care, managed care organizations and the application of managed care approaches in fee-for-service Medicare are playing an increasingly important role. AoA is launching this grant program as part of a broader effort to gain a strategic understanding of how the traditional strengths of the Aging Services Network can add value to models of integrated health and long term care. The grants are specifically designed to increase our understanding of innovations in aging services that involve the use of partnerships with managed care organizations, and/or participants in the Medicare Modernization Act Demonstrations, and capitated financing arrangements to improve the quality of care for older people. These efforts hold great promise for demonstrating how the Aging Services Network's core values and competencies can be effectively integrated with managed care models and approaches to improve the quality of care for older people. However, it is not entirely clear to what extent these activities are taking place in the Aging Services Network and the interest and readiness of the network to move into this type of service activity. Please note, AoA is requiring applications for this announcement to be submitted electronically through www.grants.gov. The Grants.gov registration process can take several days. If you are not currently registered with www.grants.gov, please begin this process immediately. For assistance with www.grants.gov, please contact AoA's Grants.gov helpdesk at 202-357-3438.
