Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Aging (AoA) awarded the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services $172,929 on October 1, 2025, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). This formula grant, with a performance period through September 30, 2027, supports the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults. The funding enables the delivery of evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services, including physical fitness programs, medication management education, chronic disease self-management education, and psychosocial behavioral health interventions addressing prevalent senior health concerns such as falls prevention, arthritis, diabetes, depression, and chronic pain.

As the designated State Agency on Aging, NDHHS serves as the primary recipient responsible for approving and distributing these funds to Area Agencies on Aging and nonprofit service providers throughout North Dakota for direct service delivery to vulnerable older adult populations, particularly those aged 55 and older with limited incomes. The award operates on a non-competitive, statutory formula allocation basis requiring annual plan revisions throughout the grant period.
