Description
This opportunity funds the development and implementation of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in Indian Country. The program aims to help tribes and tribal organizations provide culturally competent, strengths-based services and supports for people living with dementia and their caregivers, enabling them to remain independent and safe in their communities.
Applicants may be:
- Tribes or tribal entities new to the Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI), seeking to enhance existing service systems with dementia services; or
- Tribes or tribal entities with previous ADPI grants, proposing to expand upon prior work (but not simply sustain existing activities).
Projects must address direct service delivery, workforce training, and community engagement, and include robust third-party evaluation plans. Activities should focus on increasing the availability of dementia-specific supports, caregiver respite, and evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions tailored to tribal populations.
