Aging and Disability Resource Center for AoA
Since 2003, The Lewin Group has provided expert technical assistance (TA) to assist states and community-based organizations in the design and implementation of the Aging and Disability Resource Center grants awarded jointly by the Administration on Aging (AoA) and CMS’ Real Choice Systems Change Grants. Activities have included identifying TA needs and developing “user-driven” plans; maintaining grantee profiles; providing TA through a variety of remote and on-site mechanisms (topic-focused calls, national meetings, site visits); establishing a system for grantee feedback and exchange; designing a formative evaluation; integrating all activities into a single
website
; and developing an online TA Tracking Tool to assist in and streamline the TA activity. In addition, The Lewin Group also supports policy development initiatives undertaken by AoA, particularly new additions to the Older Americans Act of 2006.
