Working with ACL/AoA
The SMP program is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL),
Administration on Aging (AoA). The SMP grants are cooperative agreements
between ACL/AoA and the project or grantee. Under cooperative
agreements, grantees work in collaboration with ACL/AoA to successfully
fulfill the grant requirements and are assigned an ACL Project Officer
and ACL Grants Management Specialist, as indicated on the SMP Notice of
Award. For more information about the SMP program from
ACL/AoA, click

SMP reporting requirements to ACL/AoA are available on
the ACL/AoA website.
SMP Listserv
ACL/AoA hosts a listserv for the SMP network. ACL/AoA uses this
listserv to make important announcements. The SMP Resource Center also
disseminates new and updated products and publications using this
listserv and uses it to announce SMP Resource Center training events.
SMPs are also invited to communicate program-related information with
each other using this service. For AoA’s policies regarding the
SMP listserv, click here, then scroll to the bottom of the
