Grant Opportunity Analysis

The Administration for Community Living is offering a funding opportunity through the Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) aimed at enhancing dementia-capable home and community-based services (HCBS) in Indian Country. This initiative seeks to support federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations in developing and implementing culturally competent, person-centered services for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. The program is particularly significant as it addresses the unique cognitive health challenges faced by American Indian and Alaska Native populations, promoting independence and safety within their communities. Interested applicants can apply for grants ranging from $200,000 to $300,000, with a total estimated program funding of $2 million available for approximately seven awards. Applications are due by August 25, 2025, and potential applicants are encouraged to submit letters of intent by August 9, 2025. For further information, contact Kari Benson at aoaoaa@acl.hhs.gov or visit the additional information page at https://acl.gov/grants/open-opportunities.

AI Summary
The Administration for Community Living's Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) invites applications for grants aimed at enhancing dementia-capable home and community-based services (HCBS) specifically in Indian Country. Recognizing the unique cognitive health challenges faced by American Indian and Alaska Native populations, this funding opportunity seeks to support federally recognized tribes and organizations in delivering person-centered, culturally competent services to improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. There are two grant options: one for new applicants and another for those expanding on prior funding. Key program requirements include implementing evidence-based interventions, engaging in robust third-party evaluations, collaboration with relevant agencies, and adherence to funding restrictions that exclude basic research and existing programs. Each project must propose a phased implementation plan over three years, with specific milestones tied to funding continuity based on performance. A cost-sharing requirement of 10% is stipulated, ensuring grantees commit to resource investment towards project sustainability. The deadline for applications is August 25, 2025, with letters of intent encouraged by August 9, 2025. This initiative represents a significant opportunity to bridge services for vulnerable populations within tribal communities.
