What the grant funds

Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is a progressive condition. It begins with mild memory loss and may lead to the inability to communicate or respond to one's environment. Its prevalence is rising with the aging U.S. population. In 2021, it was the 5th leading cause of death for those 65 and older, with death rates continuing to climb. The CDC Alzheimer's Disease Program, through the National Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) and funded partners, promotes brain health, addresses cognitive impairment, and supports caregivers using evidence-based approaches. This funding opportunity aligns with the HBI Road Map Series (including the State & Local Road Map 2023–2027 and the Road Map for Indian Country) and fulfills the aims of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer"s Act (P.L. 115-406).Funding Structure: Component 1: National Healthy Brain Initiative: Fund at least two (2) organizations to develop & implement public health strategies guided by the HBI Road Map Series. Funded organizations will: Develop evidence-informed training for health care and public health professionals on ADRD and caregiving. Expand the availability & use of public health surveillance data, including adaptation & revision of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) subjective cognitive decline & caregiver optional modules. Facilitate the coordination of recipients & national partners to address ADRD. Funding range: $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 per 12-month budget period. Component 2: BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence: Fund at least two (2) Centers, each specializing in one of three topic-specific areas: dementia risk reduction, early detection and management of dementia, or dementia caregiving.
