Description
This funding opportunity from the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) supports public health strategies to address Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) through three integrated components: the National Healthy Brain Initiative, BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence, and the Public Health Adoption Accelerator. The program aims to build and translate the evidence base for promoting brain health, support state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) public health agencies, and accelerate nationwide adoption of effective public health practices for ADRD.
