About this program
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds technical assistance and public health implementation activities to promote cognitive health and address Alzheimer's disease and related dementias at state and local levels under CFDA 93.334, with a current grant opportunity (CDC-RFA-DP-26-0227) due June 26, 2026.
The program provides cooperative agreements of 1 to 5 years to develop and implement public health strategies targeting cognitive health promotion, early detection of cognitive impairment, caregiver support, and health system improvements. Funded activities include evidence-informed training for healthcare and public health professionals, expansion of public health surveillance data on subjective cognitive decline and caregiver needs, engagement of environmental and policy approaches to embed cognitive health into community and workplace planning, and translation and dissemination of resources through public health networks. After initial awards, projects may be continued non-competitively subject to satisfactory progress and fund availability.
The program operates exclusively as cooperative agreements. The current solicitation (CDC-RFA-DP-26-0227, posted March 19, 2026) comprises three components: the National Healthy Brain Initiative funding at least two organizations at $2.5 million to $3 million per 12-month budget period to develop evidence-informed training and coordinate national partners; BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence funding at least two specialized centers focused on dementia risk reduction, early detection and management, or caregiving; and a Public Health Adoption Accelerator component supporting state and local jurisdictions. Applicant types include state governments, local governments, tribal governments (federally and non-federally recognized), higher education institutions, nonprofits, school districts, and for-profit organizations.
A predecessor opportunity (CDC-RFA-DP-23-0010, due March 27, 2023) funded public health departments in two tiers: Capacity Building and Implementation (2 planning years, 3 implementation years) for jurisdictions new to Alzheimer's disease infrastructure, and Implementation (5 years) for jurisdictions with existing infrastructure, emphasizing dementia risk reduction, early diagnosis, comorbidity management, caregiving, and health equity.
