The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is offering funding through a cooperative agreement for a State Health Insurance Assistance Program Technical Assistance Center (SHIP TAC). This center aims to support the 54 active SHIP programs across the U.S., empowering Medicare-eligible individuals and their caregivers through education and assistance in navigating health insurance options. The ACL intends to fund one grantee up to $1.5 million annually for three years. The SHIP TAC will focus on four main themes: 1) providing educational resources for team members and beneficiaries; 2) fostering workforce development; 3) promoting operational excellence; and 4) encouraging innovation and partnerships. Applicants must demonstrate specific expertise in Medicare-related topics and effective management of SHIP teams. Submissions must include a project narrative addressing needs assessment, planned interventions, measurable outcomes, and organizational capabilities, all while ensuring compliance with federal requirements. Applications are due by July 30, 2025, with a required letter of intent by July 10, 2025. Overall, this funding opportunity underscores the federal government's commitment to improving health insurance accessibility and support services for vulnerable populations through enhanced education and outreach efforts.
