Senior Medicare Patrol Projects: AoA funds sixty-four Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Projects which recruit retired professionals as volunteers to educate older consumers in their communities about Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care fraud, error and abuse prevention. Currently SMPs operate in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. AoA plans to award one project grant in each of the eligible states listed in this announcement. States not listed are currently served by SMP projects awarded in 2005. Applicants for the 2006 award must provide a plan for statewide SMP program coverage and for serving isolated and hard-to-reach, populations within their state. Up to twenty-eight cooperative agreements will be funded at a federal share of up to $180,000 per year and a project period of up to three years, contingent upon the availability of federal funds. The award is a cooperative agreement because the Administration on Aging will be substantially involved in the development and execution of the activities of the projects and will describe training, technical assistance and support to be provided to the projects. The cooperative agreement will provide the program requirements and measures of program success, as well as describe the training, technical assistance and support to be provided by AoA and the National Consumer Protection Technical Resource Center. Applicants (with the exception of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands) must cover at least 25 % of the project's total cost with non-Federal resources.
