About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) funds demonstration projects that expand diagnostic and support services for persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), their families, and caregivers, with the most recent grant award dated August 1, 2017 (CFDA 93.051).

The program has been active since 2002, with 152 total awards and a recent pace of 5 to 9 awards annually from 2013 through 2017. Combined federal dollars obligated total $66.6 million. Funded projects build dementia-capable service systems through state home and community-based care networks, caregiver support interventions, diagnostic services, and evidence-based training programs. Recent awards include Idaho's Dementia-Capable Service System ($649,093), Hawaii's Dementia-Capable Service Systems ($614,030), and the Benjamin Rose Institute's Dementia Care Consultation Program expansion in northwest Ohio ($276,310). Projects also address underserved populations, such as dementia caregiver services for African-American communities and evidence-informed training for Hispanic caregivers.

The portfolio is dominated by Cooperative Agreements (49 percent of awards, $63.2 million federal dollars), with Block Grants comprising 29 percent and Project Grants 22 percent. ACL has funded nearly all awards; the portfolio shows two distinct funders with ACL accounting for 145 awards at $63.2 million. Award magnitudes typically range from $250 thousand to $1 million, with a few outliers reaching approximately $1.5 million.

Eligible applicants are state government agencies, with encouragement to involve the Single State Agency on Aging. Only one application per state is funded, though multiple state and local agencies may collaborate. Awards are typically three years in duration; support beyond the first year depends on fund availability and satisfactory progress. Grants are issued by letter of credit.

The most recent solicitation (HHS-2017-ACL-AOA-ADSG-0212) posted March 13, 2017, with a due date of May 12, 2017, offered both Part A three-year cooperative agreements for states without prior ADSSP systems integration grants and Part B 18-month expansion grants for states with prior awards. No current solicitation is indicated in the source.
