Target Population
For this project, the target population is:
Applicants must target their reach to older adults (60 years and older) and adults with disabilities, with the majority being older adults, with greatest social and/or greatest economic needs from each of the populations of special interest below:
- Population 1: Behavioral health conditions of special interest to ACL:
- Within this population the project must reach older adults (60 years and older) and adults with disabilities, with the majority being older adults, with greatest social and/or greatest economic needs with at least one of these specific conditions: depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and disorder.
- Population 2: Chronic conditions of special interest to ACL:
- Within this population the project must reach older adults (60 years and older) and adults with disabilities, with the majority being older adults, with greatest social and/or greatest economic needs, with at least one of these specific conditions: Traumatic Brain Injury, HIV/AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease.
- While your project must serve the target population broadly and through a statewide initiative, grant recipients should also engage and recruit minority population and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian elders in Falls Prevention programs.
- Recruitment efforts can include engaging older adults and adults with disabilities in a federally recognized tribe, state-recognized tribe, or those living in urban communities across the state. Nearly 70% of American Indians and Alaskan Natives live off-reservation in cities in towns across the United States. If partnering with a state recognized tribe, federally recognized tribe, or tribal consortium, the grant recipient should try to establish a collaborative agreement with tribal leaders to offer evidence-based Falls Prevention programs.
- Throughout the rest of the announcement, the term “target population” will be used to refer to these two groups and applicants should reflect a statewide strategy to engage minority groups and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian individuals.
