Grant Description: The key objective of this program announcement is to use Recovery Act funding to support a National Resource Center (CENTER) that provides technical assistance and evaluation support to AoA and the State and Territorial grantees. The CENTER's activities will help grantees design, develop, implement, rapidly expand, and sustain CDSMPs, so these grantees meet the following programmatic goals: - Deliver CDSMPs to at least 50,000 individuals; - Document the extent to CDSMPs are being implemented with fidelity to the original research design.- Strengthen the capacity of states and communities to sustain CDSMPs after the grant period. The CENTER will provide an array of technical assistance and evaluative support that includes two national meetings, web-based training, on-site visits, targeted teleconferences, peer-to-peer mentoring, strategies and models for developing statewide CDSMP distribution systems that include continuous state level and community-level quality improvement and evaluation components. The Center will also assist AoA in conducting a pre- and post survey of individuals participating in CDSMP programs nationwide, and then use the experience and survey tool to assist states in implementing similar surveys within their states. The Center will also help states develop strategies to sustain CDSMP programs beyond the grant cycle. Since programs will be targeting their services to at least 50,000 older adults during the grant period, much of the technical assistance activity will focus on rapid implementation and expansion of CDSMPs. The specific task requirements under this opportunity are outlined in Section I.C. This grant will be issued as a cooperative agreement because AoA will have significant involvement in the administration of this agreement throughout its duration. Involvement may include collaboration, participation, or intervention concerning any funded activities. The Administration on Aging (AoA) will fund technical assistance through a national, non-profit organization with the demonstrated capacity to provide the required technical assistance for CDSMPs that are targeted to older adults. Applications will be evaluated in large part on the degree of readiness of the applicant national organization to immediately carryout all technical assistance and evaluation activities.
