[Program Announcement No. AoA-02-09]


Fiscal Year 2002 Program Announcement; Availability of Funds and 
Notice Regarding Applications

AGENCY: Administration on Aging, HHS.

ACTION: Announcement of availability of funds and request for 
applications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging announces that under the 
Performance Outcome Measures Project it will hold two competitions to 
fund grant awards for cooperative agreements to support:
    (1) State-wide surveys of program performance with State Agencies 
on Aging, and (2) the continued development of performance outcome 
measures survey instruments. Under the first competition, for State-
wide surveys, AoA expects to enter into cooperative agreements at a 
federal share of approximately $50,000 for one year with up to fifteen 
(15) State agencies on aging. Under the second competition, for the 
development of performance outcome measures survey instruments, AoA 
expects to enter into cooperative agreements at a federal share of 
approximately $30,000 for one year with up to ten (10) State Agencies 
on Aging.
    Purpose of grant awards: It is the purpose of the first part of 
this competition to provide states with the opportunity to conduct 
performance outcome measures surveys at the state level. AoA is 
conducting national performance outcome surveys which the States can 
use as performance benchmarks for comparison with the State-wide 
surveys they elect to conduct. Under the second part of this 
competition for the performance outcome measures project states must 
work collaboratively to continue to refine the current survey measures 
and develop new measures in additional areas.
    Eligibility for grant awards and other requirements: For both 
competitions under this Announcement eligibility is limited to State 
Agencies on Aging. Grantees are required to provide a 25% non-federal 
match.

DATES: The deadline date for the submission of applications is July 29, 
2002.

ADDRESSES: Application kits are available by writing to the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Aging, 
Office of Evaluation, 330 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20201, 
Attn: David Bunoski, or by calling 202/260-0669. Applications must be
