On November 6, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) announced a new opportunity for up to ten networks of community-based aging and disability organizations to participate in a learning collaborative (LC). Participants in the LC will receive targeted technical assistance related to business acumen; direct funding will not be provided. Applicants must be seeking to build their business capacity and align their service capabilities in order to contract with integrated healthcare entities (including managed care plans) to provide community-based long-term services and supports and/or evidence-based preventive health programs and services. ACL is particularly interested in working with networks that include a diverse mix of organizations that serve people with disabilities and older adults. Applications must be submitted electronically via email to Lauren.Solkowski@acl.hhs.gov by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, December 8, 2014.
ACL anticipates announcing the members of the LC by mid-January.
