This funding opportunity is designed for applicants to propose how they will develop or expand capacity for, deliver, and sustain evidence-based chronic disease self-management education and support programs among older adults and adults with disabilities, particularly those in underserved areas/populations, as defined by Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. The two primary goals are: Goal 1: Develop or expand capacity to significantly increase the number of older adults and adults with disabilities, particularly those in underserved areas/populations, who participate in evidence-based self-management education and self-management support programs to empower them to better manage their chronic conditions.  Goal 2: Enhance the sustainability of evidence-based self-management education and self-management support programs through the implementation of robust sustainability strategies.
