Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Alzheimer s Disease Supportive Services Program: Evidence Based Intervention Programs to Better Serve People with Alzheimer s Disease and Related Disorders," is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (AoA). Its main purpose is to help states take proven, research-backed caregiver support models and turn them into practical, sustainable programs delivered at the community level for families caring for people with Alzheimer s disease and related disorders (ADRD). Rather than funding brand-new experimental approaches, the announcement is focused on implementation: showing how established interventions can be translated into real-world services that reach caregivers where they live and receive support.

The program specifically highlights three evidence-based caregiver interventions that applicants are expected to implement or adapt for community delivery. These are the New York University Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI), the Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer s Caregiver Health Intervention (REACH II), and the Savvy Caregiver program. All three are designed to strengthen family caregivers by improving coping skills, reducing caregiver stress and burden, and helping families manage the complex behavioral, emotional, and practical challenges that often come with dementia care. The federal interest here is not simply offering information, but demonstrating that structured, validated caregiver programs can be embedded into state and local aging and social service systems in a way that produces measurable benefits.

Eligibility is restricted, making this a limited competition. Applications are only accepted from instrumentalities of state or territorial government, which can include State Units on Aging (SUAs) but is not limited to them. If a state entity other than the SUA applies, the announcement requires that the SUA be involved as a major partner in planning, development, and implementation. This structure signals that AoA expects projects to align with statewide aging networks and infrastructure, rather than operating as isolated pilots. The eligible applicant category is listed as state governments, reflecting the intent to fund initiatives with statewide coordination and potential for broader replication.

Awards under this announcement are issued as cooperative agreements rather than standard grants, meaning AoA anticipates a more hands-on federal role during the project period. Cooperative agreements typically involve ongoing collaboration, guidance, or technical involvement from the funding agency as projects are carried out. The activity category is listed under income security and social services, and the CFDA program number associated with this opportunity is 93.051, Alzheimer s Disease Demonstration Grants to States. The announcement also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating applicants must contribute non-federal resources toward the project, although the specific match details would be defined in the full announcement.

In terms of scale and funding, AoA indicated plans to make roughly six new cooperative agreements under the announcement, though the source data also lists an expected awards figure of 10. Funding levels are described as approximately $500,000 for year one on average, followed by approximately $250,000 for year two and approximately $250,000 for year three, contingent on performance and the availability of federal funds. The nature and scope of proposed projects are expected to vary, so award sizes could differ across grantees. The dataset also lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling and floor of $500,000, which likely reflects either year-one funding or how the opportunity was configured in the listing, but the narrative description clearly contemplates multi-year support with reduced funding in years two and three.

Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA AE 1027, a posted date of May 27, 2010, and an application deadline of July 6, 2010, with an archive date of August 5, 2010. Applicants were directed to AoA s funding page for full announcement materials, and a grants management contact was provided for access issues: Margaret Tolson, Grants Management Specialist (margaret.tolson@aoa.hhs.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a state-focused implementation grant designed to move evidence-based dementia caregiver interventions into routine community service delivery through state aging systems, with an emphasis on partnership, measurable performance, and replication potential.
