Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOA HDRC 0043
The COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccine Uptake Initiative for Older Adults and People with Disabilities is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) through its Administration on Aging (AoA). The program is designed to rapidly increase both access to and uptake of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines among people at higher risk of severe illness, with a clear emphasis on older adults and individuals with disabilities living in communities across the country. The central idea is to move quickly and at scale, using trusted networks and practical supports to reduce barriers that keep vulnerable populations from getting vaccinated.
This funding opportunity is a limited competition, meaning it is not open to all organizations. Only national aging and/or disability organizations that can demonstrate strong capacity to carry out the program goals are eligible to apply. The expectation is that awardees will have the infrastructure, reach, and experience to mobilize quickly, coordinate complex partnerships, and deploy resources across multiple communities. Applicants are directed to the eligibility section in the full announcement for details, but the intent is to fund national-level organizations with proven ability to deliver large, coordinated public health outreach and service activities.
ACL plans to make two awards under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), with an award ceiling of $75,000,000. With only two expected awards, the program is structured to concentrate resources in a small number of high-capacity recipients that can implement broad, nationwide strategies while still tailoring work to local community needs. The funding is intended to support rapid planning and execution, including the ability to issue sub-awards so that local partners can be resourced quickly and effectively.
Successful recipients must show they can develop and implement a vaccination plan that expands vaccine access by leveraging existing partnerships and building new ones. This includes coordinating with community-based organizations, disability service providers, aging networks, healthcare and public health entities, and other trusted messengers who can help reach people who may be homebound, isolated, hesitant, or facing logistical obstacles. The emphasis on sub-awards signals that ACL expects national organizations to push funding outward to community-level implementers who have direct connections with older adults and people with disabilities.
The NOFO highlights several core activities that the grant should support. These include hosting community vaccination clinics in accessible, familiar locations; arranging and delivering in-home vaccinations for people who cannot easily travel; providing transportation to vaccination sites; and conducting outreach and education tailored to older adults and individuals with disabilities. In practice, this means combining service delivery (clinics, home visits, transportation) with communications and engagement efforts (education, reminders, addressing misinformation, helping with appointment scheduling) so that both practical and informational barriers are addressed at the same time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2023-ACL-AOA-HDRC-0043 and is listed under CFDA 93.048. The grant type is a standard federal grant, categorized under Income Security and Social Services, reflecting ACL's mission and the community-based nature of the work. The original posting date was November 21, 2022, with an original application due date of December 6, 2022, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
Overall, this initiative is aimed at quickly boosting vaccination rates among populations most likely to experience severe outcomes from COVID-19 and influenza by funding large-scale, nationally coordinated efforts that rely on local execution. The program prioritizes speed, reach, accessibility, and partnership-driven implementation, with a strong focus on bringing vaccination opportunities directly to older adults and people with disabilities rather than expecting them to overcome barriers on their own.Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOA HDRC 0043
