About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking cooperative agreements to implement evidence-based falls prevention programs for older adults and adults with disabilities. The funding opportunity aims to enhance the quality and effectiveness of falls prevention activities through targeted partnerships and innovative strategies. Applicants must be domestic public or private non-profit entities, including state and local governments, tribal organizations, and higher education institutions. Key requirements include delivering at least two evidence-based falls prevention programs, with one offered remotely, and developing targeted partnerships to reduce falls risk. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's ability to engage target participants (targeting 25% in Year 1, 50% in Year 2, and 100% in Year 3), create resources based on program outcomes, and develop a comprehensive quality assurance plan. The proposal submission deadline is August 15, 2025, with an anticipated project start date of September 1, 2025.
The grant will award two cooperative agreements of $1,250,000 each, with a total project period of 36 months. Recipients will be expected to implement falls prevention programs primarily targeting older adults aged 60 and above, with a specific focus on individuals in greatest economic and social need. The programs will be community-based, designed to reduce falls and fall-related risks through evidence-based interventions such as exercise classes, risk assessments, and public education. Successful applicants must demonstrate the ability to create sustainable falls prevention networks and capture best practices throughout the project duration.
Synopsis
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to award cooperative agreements to entities that will focus on specific targeted partnerships and additional innovative strategies as they relate to implementing evidence-based falls prevention programs for older adults and adults with disabilities in the community. Initiatives will enhance the quality, effectiveness, and proven outcomes of falls prevention activities for older adults and adults with disabilities. Efforts will include ensuring collaboration with partners, creating and disseminating resources and education, and capturing best practices and learning. Additionally, the entities will design an evaluation to assess the impact of efforts on reducing falls and/or the risk of falls.
