Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs
Purpose and Background
Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) programs provide older adults and adults with disabilities with education and tools to help them better manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, HIV/AIDS and depression. The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) has been supporting the dissemination of CDSME programs through grants to states since 2003. State governments use these funds to develop an infrastructure (state and community partners, workforce, sites, enrollment system) to deliver these programs in their communities.
In September- 2012, AoA began its, Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Programs, financed through the Affordable Care Act Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). These 2012 PPHF CDSME grants, awarded to 22 states, initially end on August 31, 2015, although some of the grantees have received extensions to continue their work with no additional funding.
In August 2015, AoA awarded a new round of two-year CDSME grants to eight grantees financed by 2015 PPHF funds.
The 2015 PPHF CDSME cooperative agreements are designed to achieve two major goals:
- Goal 1: Significantly increase the number of older adults and adults with disabilities in underserved areas and populations who complete evidence-based self-management education and support programs to empower them to better manage their chronic conditions; and
- Goal 2: Implement innovative funding arrangements to support the proposed programs, while embedding the programs into an integrated, sustainable evidence-based evidence-based prevention program network.
These grants also support the Health and Human Services Strategic Framework on Multiple Chronic Conditions in bringing to scale and enhancing sustainability of evidence-based self-management programs.

Funding
- From 2012–2014, AoA awarded 22 three-year manually-funded cooperative agreements totaling $21.02 million.
