Formula Grant 2601NVOAPH

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Aging and Disability Services Division, received a formula grant award of $312,689 from the Administration on Aging (AoA) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). This award supports the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults aged 55 and older, particularly those with limited incomes, throughout Nevada.

The funding enables delivery of evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services across multiple health domains, including physical fitness programs, medication management education, chronic disease self-management education, and psychosocial behavioral health interventions. The award specifically supports condition-specific initiatives addressing prevalent health concerns among senior populations, such as falls prevention, diabetes, arthritis, depression, HIV, brain health, and chronic pain management. As the designated State Agency on Aging for Nevada, ADSD serves as the primary recipient responsible for approving and distributing funds to Area Agencies on Aging and nonprofit service providers throughout the state for direct service delivery to vulnerable older adult populations.
