Details:
There are two application options contained in this single NOFO:
Grants to States (Option A) and Grants to Communities (Option B): No entity is eligible to apply for both State and Community options and no entity is eligible to hold more than one ADPI grant at a time. The ADPI grant program is designed to pilot and evaluate new community level dementia capable HCBS, as demonstrated by the requirement that 50% of total grant funds be dedicated to direct services. The dementia-capable systems resulting from program activities under either option are expected to provide quality, culturally competent, person-centered services and supports that help individuals living with dementia and their caregiver remain independent and safe in their communities.
Option A: Grants to States
- Applicants for Option A (36-month, fully funded, cooperative agreements) are the governmental entities within states and territories designated as the state agency for dementia-capability. The eligible state entity has working relationships with their state agencies charged with creating and sustaining dementia-capable HCBS systems
- Option A has two required objectives: The first objective is the creation, expansion, and sustainability of a dementia-capable state HCBS system that includes Single Entry Point/No Wrong Door (SEP/NWD) access for people with dementia and their family caregivers. The second objective is to ensure access to a comprehensive, sustainable set of quality state HCBS that are dementia-capable and provide innovative services to people living with dementia and their caregivers
- States and territories eligible for Option A are those that do not have active ACL ADPI State dementia-capability grants. All states without active grants are eligible to apply, however those states that have not benefited from ACL’s Alzheimer’s and dementia grant programs since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.
Option B: Grants to Communities
- Option B cooperative agreements are designed to aid community-based HCBS providers in addressing three specific service gaps in existing dementia-capable HCBS systems for persons living with or those at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.
- Cooperative agreements under Option B (36-month, fully funded, cooperative agreements) are available to private and/or public community-based organizations (CBOs) that are able to demonstrate meeting the following:
- Present operation within an existing dementia-capable HCBS system dedicated to the population that they serve; and
- Articulate opportunities for new partnerships, educational opportunities and/or expanded or additional services and supports in the targeted gap areas that would enhance and strengthen the above-described existing system, as well as the infrastructure and the ability to implement such activities
- Option B applicants must describe how they will address ALL of the following three gap areas:
- The provision of effective supportive services to persons living alone with ADRD in the community;
- Improvement of the quality and effectiveness of programs and services dedicated to individuals aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with ADRD or those at high risk of developing ADRD; and
- The delivery of behavioral symptom management training and expert consultations for family caregivers.
