Federal Grant Award Summary

The Pennsylvania Department of Aging received a $357,853 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Aging (part of the Department of Health and Human Services) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). The award was obligated on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. This non-competitive, statutory formula grant supports the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults across Pennsylvania.

Through this funding, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging delivers evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services to seniors, including programs addressing physical fitness, medication management, chronic disease self-management education, psychosocial behavioral health intervention, and condition-specific initiatives targeting HIV, arthritis, brain health, diabetes, falls prevention, depression, and chronic pain. The Department administers these services through its network of 52 Area Agencies on Aging and designated substate-level organizations that directly serve vulnerable senior populations across the Commonwealth. Annual revisions to the State Plan are required throughout the two-year performance period, and the grant operates under standard federal audit and recordkeeping requirements.
