Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA CSSG 0014
The 2021 Integrated Networks to Deliver and Sustain Evidence-Based Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACL-AOA-CSSG-0014) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means recipients should expect substantial federal involvement during the project period, such as ongoing coordination, technical assistance, shared planning, or performance monitoring. The program is categorized under the health funding activity area and is listed under CFDA 93.734. The notice was created on December 4, 2020, with an original application deadline of February 2, 2021.
The opportunity is centered on expanding and strengthening the systems that help older adults and adults with disabilities manage chronic conditions through proven, evidence-based education and support. It has two clear goals. Goal 1 focuses on strengthening integrated state, regional, or tribal networks that can address social and behavioral determinants of health for these populations. In practical terms, this is about building or improving the partnerships and coordinated infrastructure that connect organizations across sectors (for example, aging services, disability services, public health, health care providers, community-based organizations, and tribal entities) so they can work together more effectively. The emphasis on social and behavioral determinants signals that the program is not only about teaching health skills in isolation, but also about aligning services and supports that influence health outcomes, such as access to community resources, social connection, transportation, culturally appropriate programming, and other factors that affect whether people can successfully follow and maintain self-management practices.
Goal 2 aims to significantly increase participation among older adults and adults with disabilities in chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) and broader self-management support programs. This part of the program is about reach and uptake: expanding the number of people who enroll in and complete evidence-based workshops or classes, and improving the availability and accessibility of those offerings. The language of the opportunity highlights both education and ongoing support, which suggests a focus not only on delivering structured programs but also on ensuring participants have follow-up resources, referrals, peer or community reinforcement, and other supports that help sustain behavior change and health management over time.
Eligibility is broad and designed to accommodate the kinds of cross-sector networks the program wants to build. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility range aligns with the program emphasis on integrated networks, since leadership for such networks may sit within government, academia, tribal governance structures, housing authorities, or community nonprofits depending on local context.
Funding details indicate a relatively high-dollar, competitive program intended for a small number of large-scale projects. The award ceiling is $1,400,000, and ACL anticipated making three awards. That combination suggests ACL was looking for applicants capable of operating at statewide, regional, or multi-community scale, with the capacity to coordinate partners, deliver evidence-based programming broadly, and track participation growth and network performance.
Overall, this grant opportunity is essentially about building durable, coordinated systems that can deliver evidence-based chronic disease self-management education to more older adults and adults with disabilities, while also strengthening the partnerships and community conditions that make those programs accessible and sustainable. The core idea is that better-integrated networks can reduce barriers tied to social and behavioral determinants of health, and that stronger delivery systems can drive meaningful increases in participation in proven self-management education and support programs.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA CSSG 0014
