About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living is soliciting applications for Cooperative Agreements under the Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative to support dementia-capable home and community-based service systems in Indian Country, with applications due July 22, 2026. Eligibility is restricted to federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations, and consortiums representing federally recognized tribes; individuals and foreign entities are ineligible.
The program funds 36-month cooperative agreements in two tracks: Option A supports tribes and tribal entities with prior ADPI funding that propose expansion of existing programs, and Option B supports new ADPI applicants proposing to enhance existing service systems with dementia services. Applicants must demonstrate current responsibility for and active provision of home and community services in tribal communities and must provide evidence of tribal leadership support and authority to conduct proposed activities.
Funded activities center on dementia-capable workforce training for formal and informal caregivers, evidence-based interventions delivered through community health workers, dementia screening and early engagement, caregiver support groups and respite services, and palliative care pathways. All funded projects include outcome-based evaluation. The program serves individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, their families, and their caregivers, with the goal of enabling participants to remain independent and safe in their communities through strengths-based, person-centered services.
The Alzheimer's Disease Program Initiative (CFDA 93.470) has distributed 133 total awards since 2018, with recent fiscal year awards ranging from 7 to 15 annually. Recent awards to tribal entities included $500 thousand to the Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board for dementia training and respite services across four states. No entity may hold more than one ADPI grant at a time. Award amounts and expected number of awards for this solicitation are not specified in the forecast.
Forecast synopsis
Cooperative agreements under this Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity announcement (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 36 month program is intended to support federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes in these target activities. The dementia-capable systems resulting from activities under this program are expected to provide quality, strengths-based, person-centered 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 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.
