What the grant funds

Cooperative agreements under the Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI): State and Community Grants Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), are intended to support and promote the development and expansion of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in States and Communities. There are two application options contained in this single NOFO: Grants to States (Option A) and Grants to Communities (Option B). No entity is eligible to apply for both State and Community options and no entity is eligible to hold more than one ADPI State or Community grant at a time. The dementia-capable systems resulting from program activities under either option are expected to provide quality, strengths-based services and supports that help people living with dementia and their caregivers remain independent and safe in their communities. OPTION A: Grants to States Applicants for Option A (36 month cooperative agreements) are the governmental entities within states and territories designated as the state agency for dementia-capability and that have working relationships with their state agencies that enable creating and sustaining a dementia- capable HCBS System. Option A has two required objectives, the first of which is the creation, expansion and sustainability of a dementia-capable state HCBS system that includes Single Entry Point/No Wrong Door (SEP/NWD) access for people living with dementia (PLWD) and their family caregivers. The second objective is to ensure access to a comprehensive, sustainable set of quality state HCBS that are dementia-capable and provide innovative services to PLWD and their caregivers. States and territories eligible for Option A are those that do not have active ACL ADPI State dementia-capability grants. All states without active grants are eligible to apply, however those states that have not benefited from ADPI/ADI-SSS/ADSSP grants since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.
