Eligible Applicants
Eligible entities will be limited to state units on aging, those entities that administer Title III-E of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended. The ACL program office has verified with OGM and the Department that a limitation in competion of this nature is permissible. Per the Chapter 11.2 of the GPAM "An awarding agency is not required to get an exception if it is initiating supplements to a limited pool of existing recipients that were initially awarded as part of a competition, when the supplemental funding is offered to all recipients in that cohort, and where there is no change to the scope of the awards." applications will be sought from a previously identified list of awardees (the SUAs) to improve the administration of their current awards. Foreign entities are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
