AoA Programs

Discretionary Grants for Research and Demonstration

AoA funds projects under Title IV of the Older Americans Act to encourage projects that develop, test and disseminate best practices to be used by organizations in the Aging Network. Competitive grants allow AoA to exercise discretion in selecting the projects to be funded and determining the amount to be awarded.

Because of the nature of these projects, substantial involvement on the part of the Agency is often necessary, as a result, discretionary grants are increasingly being administered as cooperative agreements. In addition, funds that Congress has set aside for specific legislatively-defined purposes are administered with Title IV projects . (See: Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) for more on Title IV program administration.)
