In addition to addressing one or more of the required focus areas, CNCS is particularly interested in applications that involve one or more of the following priorities, which are described in detail on the competition information page.

  • Evidence-based Program Implementation
  • Access to Care: Opioid Abuse
  • Aging in Place: Elder Justice
  • Aging in Place: Independent Living
  • Economic Opportunity: Workforce Development
  • Education: Intergenerational Programming
  • Disaster Services
  • Veterans and Military Families

CNCS will host a series of webinars to introduce potential applicants to the RSVP, this competition, its performance measurement system, and more. A schedule of technical assistance events is available on the competition information page.
