Open Solicitation: Applications may be submitted in response to this Open Solicitation for funding of projects that further the purposes of Title IV of the Older Americans Act, as amended (http://www.aoa.gov/OAA2006/Main_Site/oaa/oaa_full.asp), the AoA strategic plan (www.aoa.gov, click on "About AoA" and select "Strategic Plan"), and the AoA mission (provided in the AoA Strategic Plan, page 3). Projects eligible for funding under a discretionary funding opportunity announcement published by AoA should apply for funding under that announcement and will not be considered under this Open Solicitation. . Title IV projects must: test new and innovative approaches to the design and delivery of programs and services for older persons; expand knowledge and understanding of the older population and the aging process; help meet the needs for trained personnel in the field of aging; and/or increase awareness of the need for individuals to assume responsibility for their own longevity. When developing its application, an applicant should strongly consider its data, measurement, collection, cost analysis, reporting, and evaluation methodologies as AoA is particularly interested in funding innovative performance models that can demonstrate successful outcomes and that may be replicated by other organizations. Program demonstrations that are based on evidence-based models that have been supported by research (preferably randomized control trials that are published in peer reviewed journals) are preferred. Proposals should reflect an understanding of the aging services network and detail the role that their proposal could play in the service systems of the network. A successful applicant will demonstrate in its application that the applicant organization possesses the necessary program knowledge, experience and resources to execute its proposed project if funded. Applicants applying for grant funds through this Open Solicitation should be aware that this is a highly competitive program. Limited funds are available to support applicant projects under this Open Solicitation. AoA anticipates funding only 1-2 applications per fiscal year submitted in response to this Open Solicitation. The majority of AoA discretionary grant funds are directed to applications submitted in response to funding opportunity announcements for established AoA grant programs. Announcements for these programs are available at www.grants.gov when AoA is accepting applications. Applicants seeking AoA grant funds for projects that would be eligible for funding under an established grant program should submit applications in response to an announcement for that program.
