National Minority Aging Organizations Technical Assistance Centers: The Administration on Aging (AoA) plans to award cooperative agreements to National Minority Aging Organization Technical Assistance Centers (NMAOs) for the development of culturally competent and linguistically appropriate front line health promotion and disease prevention strategies for racial and ethnic minority older individuals. Projects will develop practical, nontraditional, community-based interventions for reaching older individuals who experience barriers to accessing home and community-based services due to language and low literacy as well as other barriers directly related to cultural diversity. Through this competition, AoA plans to award approximately four (4) new cooperative agreements for new projects, for a first year total of $1,069,186. Each project should focus on one of the following four major racial and ethnic minority groups: African American (1 project @ $294,622); American Indian and Alaska Native (1 project @ $127,669); persons of Hispanic origin (1 project @ $294,622); and Asian American and Pacific Islander (1 project @ $352,273). Projects will be funded for a 3 year period, contingent upon the availability of federal funds. Grantees are required to cover at least 25% of the total program costs from non-federal cash or in-kind resources.
