Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACL CIP MPRC 0031
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is offering a discretionary federal grant opportunity to fund one organization to operate the Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center (SMPRC). This award supports ACLs broader Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program, which is designed to help Medicare beneficiaries, along with their families and caregivers, prevent, spot, and report health care fraud, billing errors, and abuse. The SMP programs core purpose is educational and protective: it works to increase beneficiaries understanding of Medicare and related health care programs so they are less vulnerable to scams and improper billing, and so they can avoid the financial and health consequences that can follow from fraud or abuse.
ACL already funds 54 SMP state and territory projects across the country, covering all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Rather than funding another state project, this particular opportunity funds a national-level support hub. The SMPRC is expected to strengthen and unify the work of those 54 projects by delivering training, technical assistance, and promotional support. In practical terms, the Resource Center functions as an expert backbone for the SMP network, helping local SMP programs do their jobs more effectively and consistently, improving outreach and education methods, and supporting a stronger nationwide presence for beneficiary protection efforts.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means ACL anticipates substantial federal involvement during the project period (more active collaboration than a standard grant). The opportunity is listed under the Income Security and Social Services activity category and carries CFDA number 93.048. ACL expects to make a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The application deadline is July 30, 2025 (OriginalClosingDate: 2025-07-30), and the opportunity was created on June 30, 2025.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based entities. Applicants may include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. Faith-based and community-based organizations are explicitly noted as eligible as long as they meet the requirements. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement. Additional governing grants policy context is referenced through the HHS Grants Policy Statement (HHSGPS).Apply for HHS 2025 ACL CIP MPRC 0031
