Alzheimer�s Disease Program Initiative (ADPI)

The purpose of the Alzheimer�s Disease Program Initiative (ADPI) is to work at state and community levels to develop and expand the availability of dementia-capable supports and services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), their families, and their caregivers. Funded programs will bring dementia capability to the communities they serve through expansion of existing home and community based service systems. ADPI programs include dementia-capable direct services and supports, translation and implementation of evidence based interventions designed to improve the lives of persons with dementia and their caregivers, as well as dementia specific training for formal and informal caregivers. All funded initiatives will include robust, outcome-based evaluations designed to demonstrate program impact and support future translation successful program components.

Funding eligibility is limited to public and/or private entities that are able to 1) demonstrate the existence of and their operation within a dementia-capable home and community-based system dedicated to the population that they serve, and 2) articulate opportunities and additional services that would enhance and strengthen the existing system. Community program applicants are not eligible to apply for or receive more than one grant through the ADPI program. States may only hold a single grant at any one time. Individuals, foreign entities and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive awards under this announcement.
