Develop a secure, dynamic system to house the data collected and evidence developed by sub-awardees, complying with ACL’s public access plan and policy in regards to scientific or research data collected as a result of this funding. Fund a cohort of community-based aging and disability service sub-awardees to pilot these approaches, in order to understand and measure the extent to which existing interventions reduce falls and related risk factors for falls. Provide technical assistance to sub-awardees on core components, participatory research designs to measure outcomes, and structured data collection.
