SMP Listserv

The U.S. Administration on Aging's (AoA) SMP listserv is a communication tool intended for people directly involved in SMP work. Members share news, information and questions about health care fraud, consumer scams affecting older adults, outreach strategies, coverage of SMP work by the media and more. The listserv is also a venue used by AoA and the SMP Resource Center to make announcements about policies, training events, SMART FACTS reporting, national level news related to SMP work and other pertinent issues that may be of interest to the national SMP network. The Sentinel, produced by The Center, is also distributed via the listserv.

To Send a Message to the Listserv

Only enrolled members can successfully send messages.

1. Send your e-mail to:  AOAORT-L@LIST.NIH.GOV.
2. You will receive a confirmation e-mail asking you to click on a link.
3. After clicking the link, the e-mail will be sent to all listserv members.

To Join the Listserv

AoA project officers and SMP project directors are automatically added to the listserv by Barbara Lewis at AoA. Requests for additional members must be made directly to Barbara Lewis by the SMP project director. SMP project directors may request that additional staff, volunteers or  SMP partners be added to the SMP listserv by e-mailing Barbara Lewis at Barbara.Lewis@aoa.hhs.gov. 

Note: The list is an important tool for SMP grantees, partners and subgrantees. Information may be forwarded to others but the list cannot support a high volume of addresses. The listserv notifies AoA when an e-mail address is undeliverable after three attempts. At that point that address is deleted from the list. To avoid erroneous deletions, ensure your mail box is not near capacity and promptly report changes for you or your partners.
