Description
This opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) funds a single, three-year cooperative agreement to demonstrate and evaluate the scalability of innovative, person-centered, evidence-based approaches to falls prevention among older adults. The focus is on leveraging clinical-community partnerships (community care hubs) and technology—including artificial intelligence, data analytics, and assistive devices—to expand access to falls risk screening and multifactorial prevention interventions. The awardee will administer sub-awards to regional community care hubs, provide technical assistance, and conduct rapid cycle evaluation to optimize impact. The demonstration is part of a national, multi-agency initiative to reduce falls and related negative outcomes among older adults, building on the ACL Innovation Lab and supporting the goals of the National Falls Prevention Action Plan.
