    The Administration for Community Living’s Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) aims to enhance dementia-capable Community Health Worker (CHW) programs within the National Aging Network. This funding opportunity, with a total estimated budget of $9 million and awards ranging from $700,000 to $750,000 for 12 projects over three years, focuses on increasing the quality and availability of dementia services for older adults and their caregivers. Applicants, particularly Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), must demonstrate how their interventions will utilize evidence-based or evidence-informed practices to improve early dementia detection, assist underserved communities, and evaluate the program's impact on individuals with dementia, caregivers, and CHWs. Key requirements include a budget allocation of increasing percentage shares for direct services over three years, a mandatory 25% cost-sharing commitment, and collaborative efforts with key organizations. The projects are expected to address barriers to care through community outreach, screening, training, and resource development. Compliance with rigorous evaluation and reporting requirements is essential, including developing work and evaluation plans approved by ACL staff. This initiative reflects the commitment to strengthen community-based care initiatives for dementia, especially in populations facing greater challenges to accessing services.
