| Description: | The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) is providing this competitive grants opportunity to current grantees of the Lifespan Respite Care Program to further implement the requirements of the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-442). Lifespan Respite Care programs are coordinated systems of accessible, community-based respite care services for family caregivers of children or adults of all ages with special needs. Based on an FY 2012 appropriation of approximately $2.5 million, it is anticipated that this opportunity could provide funding for as few as zero (0) and up to as many as nine (9) grants, with a federal funding level of up to $150,000 per award for a 12 month project period. The number of awards and the amount of each award will depend on several key factors, including the total FY 2012 appropriation for the Lifespan Respite Care Program and the amount of funds remaining after new grant awards are made to states under Funding Opportunity Numbers HHS-2012-AoA-LR-1203 and HHS-2012-AoA-LI-1205. The primary focus of these one-year Competitive Expansion Supplement grants is the provision of respite services to eligible populations. In addition to using the funds to provide respite services, successful applicants may also use funds to further enhance the volunteer recruitment, training and retention activities begun during years one and/or two of their existing grants and further enhancement of outreach and dissemination activities, provided those activities can be demonstrated to produce a measurable increase in the provision of respite services. This is a limited grant competition. Awards will only be made to eligible state agencies as defined in Statute (P.L. 109-442) and who received funding under this program in FY 2010 or FY 2011. |
