Evidence-Based Disease and Disability Prevention Program: National Resource Center: plans to fund one cooperative agreement through this competition for the Evidence-Based Disease and Disability Prevention Program: National Resource Center (CENTER). The CENTER must be an organization with demonstrated expertise in implementing evidence-based disease and disability prevention programs for the elderly and in working with state aging agencies, state health agencies, community-level aging services providers, and community health provider organizations. This project will be funded at a federal share of approximately $850,000 for the first year, up to $1,000,000 in the second year, and up to $1, 300,000 in the third year for a total project period of up to three years. The applicant must cover at least 25% of the projects total costs with non-federal resources. This grant will be issued as a cooperative agreement because AoA anticipates having substantial involvement with the recipient during the performance of the funded activities. The involvement may include collaboration, participation, or intervention in the funded activities. The types of activities funded under the cooperative agreement include technical assistance to AoA demonstration grantees in the development of evidence-based disability and disease prevention programs and practices; assistance to additional parts of the aging services network in the development of similar programs; development of a comprehensive knowledge base focused on intervention models for the elderly that prevent the progression of disability; identification and/or construction of manuals and resources to help implement related programs; assistance to AoA in developing, hosting, and co-sponsoring national andor regional training meetings or symposia on Evidence-Based Disability and Disease Prevention for the Elderly; and other related tasks. Applications will be evaluated in part on the degree of readiness of the applicant national organization to immediately support all aspects of existing and currently operating AoA Evidence-Based Disease and Disability Prevention (EBDP) Program grantees (approximately 24 grantees at the time that this cooperative agreement will go into effect) in the implementation of their grants, while assisting AoA in expanding the scope and quality of this program. The specific requirements for this opportunity are outlined in Section I.3. Background Information on the AoA EBDP Program is available at: http://aoa.gov/prof/evidence/evidence.asp .
