Grant Opportunity Analysis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is funding organizations to advance public health strategies that address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias through a cooperative agreement. The program is organized into three components: the National Healthy Brain Initiative, BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence, and the ADRD Public Health Adoption Accelerator, each focused on translating evidence into public health practice, training, surveillance, coordination, best practices, and technical assistance. Successful applicants will need to show strong organizational capacity, a solid work plan, and evaluation approach, and the competition emphasizes evidence-based practice, transparency, and alignment with CDC’s public health priorities. The total program funding is $35 million over five years, with at least seven awards anticipated, and applications are due June 26, 2026; applicants may apply to multiple components but must submit a separate application for each.
