Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) - Dementia Capability in Indian Country

Cooperative agreements under this Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity announcement (NOFO) are intended to support and promote the development and implementation of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in Indian Country. The Dementia Capability in Indian Country program 36 month program is intended to support federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes in these target activities. The dementia-capable systems resulting from activities under this program are expected to provide quality, strengths-based, person-centered services and supports that help people living with dementia and their caregivers remain independent and safe in their communities. There are two application options contained in this single NOFO: Grants to Tribes and Tribal Entities that have previously received ADPI grants (Option A) and Grants to Tribes and Tribal Entities that are new to the ADPI program (Option B). Applicants for the 36-month Dementia in Indian Country cooperative agreement are those entities that are presently responsible for the provision of and actively providing home and community services in tribal communities (i.e. tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes). Applicants for Option A will propose the ways in which they will expand on their previously funded ADPI programs and applicants under Option B will propose to enhance existing service systems with dementia services, resulting in the provision of services to Tribal Elders and their caregivers through a dementia-capable system. Responsive applications will demonstrate tribal leadership support and the authority to conduct the activities proposed in their application.
