ACL/AOA Weekly Update

Binaakwe giizis (raking/falling leaves moon) October

October 17, 2022

Please see below for the Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA) weekly update which includes upcoming events, upcoming webinars, funding and grant opportunities and other news announcements. 

Cynthia's Bucket List
 
Greetings, Title VI!  I hope you’re all well and busy working on your grant applications!
 
Speaking of grant applications, remember.  We’re only a phone call or an email away.  As you saw last week on the application webinar we’ve assembled a great team to assist and process the applications, and of course, helping us to meet with the established deadlines. 
 
Have you ever wondered how we select these grant deadlines?  1) We meet with our ACL grants team, which, for us, is led by Yi-Hsin Yan.  Looking at our required 4/1/2023 new grant start-up date, Yi-Hsin tells us how long it will take for her office to process their part, compute the grant awards, more the funds into the correct PMS account, and issue the Notice of Grant Awards to each grantee.  2) Using Yi-Hsin’s final date we then go 3) backwards further to determine adequate review time for our approval and to compile the award information for Yi-Hsin.  4) We are required to give 60 days to you after the grant is opened, so we set the announcement & deadlines accordingly.  Interesting processes in the federal government.  We do not allow extra time in case it snows in North Dakota, the power is out in Montana, new staff are hired in New Mexico, or a tribal holiday is designated in Oklahoma.  The deadline is an absolute deadline.  That’s why we encourage you to start quickly so that you’ve not in a last minute panic to meet the deadline date.
 
BTW, we grow each grant cycle, and if Moccasin Telegraph is correct this cycle will follow that history.  We know that Title VI will grow in Montana and Virginia, return to Florida, and a few other changes.  I fully anticipate that we will grow from our current 282 grantees in Parts A and B to at least 290.  Early indicators also show that the number of Part C programs will also grow as more Part A programs expand into Part C. 
 
There are still 28 current grantees who have not submitted final OAPS reports.   I’m very sorry, but we cannot even review an application unless it meets all criteria.  Criteria includes being in compliance with federal obligations.  That includes past reports.  Remember, Jasmine, Melissa and Laura are available to help with your late report, so please get it in.
 
Laura has included some interesting upcoming webinars in today’s blast.  Please listen in as you can.  I’ve found that I listen to more webinars teleworking than I used to when I was in the office every day.  I’ve heard some very interesting topics.
 
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I hope your clinic is including senior women in their prevention events.  The best program I ever heard of was in Standing Rock.  They received Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness funds and some additional funds from the state of ND.  The program ran through the CHRs, who worked with the clinic to identify women needing mammograms.  The nearest health facility for mammograms was in Bismarck, 60 miles away.  To make women feel special and to make a scary test fun, grant funds rented a limo, bought each woman a red rose, and I think provided their lunch.  They were all driven up to Bismarck to be x-rayed. It was a great program and increased the number of women willing to be tested.
 
In my search for monthly events I also learned that October 18 is World Menopause Awareness Day.  See, we can celebrate anything if we want to, there’s always a reason for awareness and chuckles!
 
Since my neck injury I’m doing my best to keep up with work and emails.  Please be persistent in reaching out to me.

News from Indian Country
American Indian and Alaska Native Elders Are Now Leaders in Pneumococcal Vaccination
by James McSpadden & Beth Carter

Pneumonia is a leading cause of death among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) elders. So it comes as good news that their vaccination rate against the pneumococcal virus has been steadily rising. In fact, in 2020, AI/AN adults ages 50-plus had the highest rates of pneumococcal vaccination (47 percent), higher than white (46 percent), Black (32 percent), Asian (30 percent), and Hispanic (25 percent) older adults. 

While this is all good news for AI/AN elders, it is surprising for researchers since AI/AN elders face numerous health care access challenges and are less likely than other older adult populations to seek medical care. They also have among the lowest flu vaccine rates. Further discussions with AI/AN elders, clinicians, and other health workers can help determine what is driving these rates and how they might be affected by COVID-19.

You are Invited to Take the Native American Disaster Management Survey!

We are experiencing rising number of natural disasters in recent years. For many Native communities, elders play a key role in guiding community safety.  

We are asking Native Americans aged 50 or older to participate in an anonymous online or mail in survey to strengthen disaster management efforts for Native Americans. In the survey, we will ask about your experiences with natural disasters to inform future efforts.   

Those who complete the survey will have the option to receive $25 either through an online Visa gift card or a mailed check. This survey is conducted as part of a dissertation project at the University of Iowa College of Public Health. 

To fill out the survey online, please click on the following link:  https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4VHUoAqb5zAaFlI 

You can request a paper copy of the survey by calling 641-417-9316 or sending an e-mail to lena-thompson@uiowa.edu
Identifying Our Needs:  A Survey of Elders
A Guide to Understanding the NRCNAA Needs Assessment

Every three years since 1998, tribal organizations have participated in the National Resource Center on Native American Aging’s (NRCNAA) Identifying Our Needs: A Survey of Elders – needs assessment survey. The needs assessment survey and data analysis services are provided free of charge to participating organizations. After the data analysis is completed, the NRCNAA provides data results to the organization via frequency tables, and comparison sheets. Learn more about this needs assessment by downloading the infographic here.

Here are the steps to receive the physical surveys:
  1. First, the NRCNAA will need a count of tribally enrolled elders in your service area. With this count, the NRCNAA generates a recommended number of surveys that should be completed to give a good representation of your elder population.
  2. We will then send the physical copies of the survey for your agency to administer to your elders.
  3. You can start administering them to your elders as soon as you receive them. Please do not bend, fold, or photocopy the surveys. A simplified guide to filling out surveys can be found here.
Once they are completed, please mail them back to:
National Resource Center on Native American Aging
1301 North Columbia Rd Stop 9037
Grand Forks, ND 58202-9037

Data sovereignty and confidentiality is important to us – the NRCNAA will need a resolution from your tribal government/council in order to process the surveys. Sample Tribal Resolution templates can be downloaded here as a word document or pdf  
 
The NRCNAA scans, cleans, analyzes, and models your tribal elder’s data. Dr. Collette Adamsen sends the results back in the form of a comparison sheet for the Title VI grant application.

Public Health
Message from the Associate Commissioner
 
Dear Women’s Health Colleagues,
 
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States. FDA is committed to helping the fight against breast cancer. In August, the Agency approved Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab-deruxtecan-nxki), an IV infusion for the treatment of patients with unresectable (unable to be removed) or metastatic (spread to other parts of the body) HER2-low breast cancer. This is the first approved therapy targeted to patients with the HER2-low breast cancer subtype, which is a newly defined subset of HER2-negative breast cancer. You can learn more about this recent approval here.

Mammograms also play a critical role in the fight against breast cancer. Screening can help find the cancer early, when it is easier to treat. Mammograms can help save lives and continue to be the best primary tool to screen for breast cancer.

While it is important to consider breast cancer screening throughout the year, October 21st is National Mammography Day, and an important reminder to raise awareness about the importance of mammograms. Our updated Pink Ribbon Guide - Mammography Matters, provides information on mammograms and step-by-step instructions to help plan, promote, launch, and evaluate mammography awareness events in your community. We also encourage you to explore our mammography resources and share them with your communities.

Sincerely,

Kaveeta P. Vasisht, M.D., Pharm.D.
Associate Commissioner for Women’s Health
Director, FDA Office of Women’s Health (OWH)

New ACL Policy on Informing Title VI of Change in Title VI Director

Dear Title VI Director,

On Friday 9/3/21, ACL issued the attached new guidance to all ACL grantees on how programs must inform ACL when there is a change in key personnel. This new guidance applies to all mandatory/formula grants and will become effective 30 days after the date it was issued.
 
For Title VI, this policy applies only when there is a new Title VI director/program manager. Other staffing changes for your grant are not required to be reported. Please see below for details on what this process requires from your program.
 
Submittal Process:
Beginning on 10/4/21, when there is a change in the Title VI director/program manager, your organization must notify ACL immediately through the following process:
  1. Send an email with the required documents (see below) to ACL’s Office for American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian Programs through the olderindians@acl.hhs.gov email address.
  2. ACL will acknowledge the Request for Change in Key Personnel within ten business days.
  3. ACL will notify the ACL grants office and the ACL Regional Administrator so that future Notices of Award and other official documentation will be sent to the correct individuals going forward.
The following documents must be included in the Request for Change in Key Personnel: 
  1. A dated cover letter signed by the Authorizing Official (such as the Tribal Chairperson) or designee that includes:
    • a. Grant Award Number and Grantee Organization Name
    • b. New personnel contact information (name, title, business phone number and business email address)
    • c. Justification for the change in Title VI director/program manager
  2. A resume, biographical sketch or curriculum vitae of the proposed new director/program manager
The new Title VI director/program manager will then be included on email correspondence the next time a Notice of Award (NOA) is issued.
