About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking up to five cooperative agreement recipients to develop and implement multi-faceted strategies supporting evidence-based chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) programs for older adults with behavioral health conditions. The primary objectives include increasing participation in CDSME programs, enhancing partnerships between aging/disability services and behavioral health providers, and developing resources about program outcomes. Eligible applicants include tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, state and local governments, and public housing authorities. Applicants must propose delivering at least one CDSME program from Appendix B and one self-management support program from Appendix C, with a goal of reaching 50% of participants from the target population by the project's end. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the proposed strategies' potential for program sustainability, partnership effectiveness, and reach within the target population. The application deadline is August 15, 2025, with a projected project start date of September 1, 2025.

The cooperative agreements will be valued between $1,100,000 and $1,250,000, with a total project period of 36 months. The funding is part of the Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs, financed by Prevention and Public Health Funds (CFDA 93.734). Recipients will be expected to work collaboratively with the ACL, as indicated by the cooperative agreement structure, and must comply with HHS grant policies and audit requirements. The program targets domestic organizations serving older adults (60+ years) and adults with disabilities, with a specific focus on those with behavioral health conditions or stressors. Performance will be measured by the ability to increase program participation, develop cross-sector partnerships, and create sustainable self-management education interventions.

Synopsis

The goal of this funding opportunity is to award a cooperative agreement to up to five entities to develop and implement multi-faceted strategies that support the delivery and sustainability of evidence-based chronic disease self-management education (CDSME) programs for older adults with one or more behavioral health conditions.
