This program funds efforts to increase dementia-capable home and community-based services in Indian Country, including dementia-specific respite and other direct services for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Only federally recognized Tribes, Tribal organizations, and consortiums representing federally recognized Tribes may apply, and the notice says there are two options: new ADPI applicants and prior ADPI grantees expanding previous work. The award is a cooperative agreement with 7 expected awards, about $250,000 to $300,000 per applicant per budget period, and total program funding of $6,000,000 over three years. Applicants must provide at least 10% of total project costs from non-federal sources.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
Cooperative agreements under this Alzheimer"s Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity (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 is intended to support federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes in these targeted activities. The dementia-capable systems resulting from activities under this program are expected to provide quality, strengths-based 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 (this grant program is not intended to sustain previously funded ADPI activities) 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.
