About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to develop and implement dementia-capable home and community-based service systems in Indian Country, with applications due July 22, 2026. Applicants must have a 10% non-federal cost-share match. Total expected program funding is $6,000,000 distributed across approximately 7 awards, ranging from $250,000 to $300,000 per budget period over three 12-month periods (August 15, 2026 to August 14, 2029).
Eligible applicants are federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations not federally recognized, and consortiums representing federally recognized tribes that are presently responsible for the provision of and actively providing home and community services in tribal communities. The NOFO contains two application options: Option A for tribes and tribal entities new to the ADPI program, and Option B for those that have previously received ADPI grants and seek to expand prior work rather than sustain previously funded activities. Responsive applications must demonstrate tribal leadership support and authority to conduct proposed activities.
All successful applicants must implement a dementia-specific evidence-based or evidence-informed intervention, allocate specified percentages of total budget to direct services (25% Year 1, 35% Year 2, 45% Year 3), participate in technical assistance activities, and conduct third-party evaluations. The program emphasizes culturally competent dementia-capable services addressing gaps in home and community-based services for American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
Applicants must submit a 20-page project narrative, budget narrative, work plan, evaluation plan, tribal resolution authorizing the application, and supporting documentation through Grants.gov. Merit-based scoring applies across six criteria categories including purpose and need, response, impact, resources and capabilities, and budget. The expected award date is September 30, 2026. This opportunity is assigned CFDA 93.470.
Synopsis
Cooperative agreements under this Alzheimer"s Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) are intended to support and promote the development and implementation of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in Indian Country. The Dementia Capability in Indian Country program is intended to support federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes in these targeted activities. The dementia-capable systems resulting from activities under this program are expected to provide quality, strengths-based services and supports that help people living with dementia and their caregivers remain independent and safe in their communities. There are two application options contained in this single NOFO: Grants to Tribes and Tribal Entities that have previously received ADPI grants (Option A) and Grants to Tribes and Tribal Entities that are new to the ADPI program (Option B). Applicants for the 36-month Dementia in Indian Country cooperative agreement are those entities that are presently responsible for the provision of and actively providing home and community services in tribal communities (i.e. tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes). Applicants for Option A will propose the ways in which they will expand on their previously funded ADPI programs (this grant program is not intended to sustain previously funded ADPI activities) and applicants under option B will propose to enhance existing service systems with dementia services, resulting in the provision of services to Tribal Elders and their caregivers through a dementia-capable system. Responsive applications will demonstrate tribal leadership support and the authority to conduct the activities proposed in their application.
