Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services received a formula grant award of $376,639 from the Administration on Aging (AOA) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This non-competitive, statutorily-allocated award funds the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults aged 55 and older with limited incomes throughout Oklahoma.

The grant supports evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services delivered through State Agencies on Aging and Area Agencies on Aging, including physical fitness programs, medication management education, chronic disease self-management education, and psychosocial behavioral health interventions. The funding addresses condition-specific health concerns prevalent among senior populations, including falls prevention, arthritis, diabetes, depression, brain health, HIV, and chronic pain management. As the primary recipient, OK DHS approves and distributes funds to designated substate-level organizations and nonprofit service providers for direct service delivery to vulnerable older adult populations across the state.
