Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA EJRC 0101
The National Adult Protective Services Training Center (NATC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2021-ACL-AOA-EJRC-0101) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL). Its purpose is to create a single, national-level training and capacity-building hub for Adult Protective Services (APS) professionals and the agencies that employ and support them. The overall goal is to advance federal priorities that strengthen the safety and well-being of adults who experience maltreatment by improving how APS staff are prepared for the work and by helping APS organizations function more effectively as employers and service systems.
This opportunity would fund one cooperative agreement to establish and operate the NATC, meaning the awardee would work in close partnership with the federal government rather than operating fully independently as in a typical grant. The NATC is expected to carry out a broad set of activities that support promising and evidence-informed APS practice, develop leadership within APS, and improve agency culture and climate. A major emphasis is on organizational improvement, not just individual training. That includes designing and implementing interventions aimed at workforce challenges that commonly affect APS systems, especially recruitment and retention, supervision and management practices, and broader workplace culture issues that influence staff performance and stability.
The award is structured as a single national award (Expected Awards: 1) with an annual funding level of about $1,500,000 and a project period of up to two years, for a potential total of roughly $3,000,000 across the full period if funded for both years. The stated award ceiling is $1,500,000 per year. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA number listed is 93.747, situating the program within ACLs broader human services and protective supports portfolio.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was created on April 14, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 29, 2021. In practical terms, the federal government intended to select one organization (or lead applicant possibly working with partners) to function as the central national resource for APS training, leadership development, and organizational capacity building, with a strong focus on improving the APS workforce experience and the systems that support high-quality protective services.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOA EJRC 0101
