GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview
ACL needs ONE organization to serve as the National Falls Prevention Resource Center — the hub that supports all federal falls prevention grantees (both discretionary and formula-funded), provides technical assistance to the aging network, and connects evidence-based programs to communities. $750K-$2.5M per year for 3 years ($7.5M total). This is the coordinating body for the entire national falls prevention infrastructure.
Who Should Apply
National organizations with deep expertise in evidence-based falls prevention, technical assistance capacity, and existing connections to the aging services network. Must be able to support multiple grantees simultaneously.
Who Should NOT Apply
Local falls prevention programs (you'd be a client of this center, not the center itself), individual researchers, or organizations without national TA capacity.
Key Requirements (Plain English)
- •Must serve as THE national resource center (single award)
- •Must provide TA to all ACL falls prevention grantees
- •Must connect to the aging services network nationally
- •Must support evidence-based program implementation at scale
💡 GrantQuick Tip
Single award of up to $7.5M over 3 years — this is a major piece of infrastructure. The incumbent (likely NCOA or a similar national aging org) has deep relationships with ACL and the grantee network. A challenger would need to demonstrate BOTH falls prevention expertise AND national TA delivery capacity. If you're not already in this space nationally, this isn't your entry point.
Competitiveness: Very low competition (1 award) but extremely high bar. Maybe 3-5 organizations nationally could credibly serve this role.
