    The Administration for Community Living's funding opportunity aims to support innovative partnerships and strategies to reduce falls and fall risks among older adults (60+) in economic and social need, as well as adults with disabilities. The focus is on implementing evidence-based falls prevention programs (EBFPPs) using a person-centered approach, evaluating outcomes, and creating resources to replicate successful models statewide. The ACL plans to award two cooperative agreements of $1,250,000 each, anticipated to start on September 1, 2025, with a project duration of three years. Key goals involve developing targeted outreach to recruit participants for in-person and remote EBFPPs and evaluating the impact of these interventions on reducing falls. Awardees must demonstrate readiness through partnerships, training, and data collection compliance with ACL requirements. Eligible applicants include various nonprofit and governmental entities, and there is no cost-sharing requirement. The application process must be initiated promptly to adhere to federal guidelines, ensuring timely and successful submissions via Grants.gov. Overall, this initiative seeks to enhance the independence and health of older adults through structured, evidence-based interventions and a collaborative community framework.
