Opportunity Summary:
The Alzheimers Disease Demonstration Grants to States (ADDGS) Program Innovation Grants to Better Serve People with Alzheimers Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Administration on Aging (AoA) designed to help states test and demonstrate new, community-level ways to improve services and supports for people living with ADRD and for their family caregivers. The central idea is to strengthen non-institutional, community-based systems of care so individuals with dementia can remain at home longer, with better support, rather than being pushed prematurely into nursing home placement because appropriate community services are missing, hard to access, or poorly coordinated.
AoA signals two priority populations for proposed projects. First, the announcement places special emphasis on people with ADRD who are not eligible for Medicaid but are at imminent risk of nursing home placement and likely to "spend down" their assets to qualify for Medicaid. For this group, innovation is meant to delay or prevent institutionalization by improving the availability, coordination, and effectiveness of home- and community-based supports. Second, AoA is interested in projects aimed at people in the early stages of ADRD, reflecting a focus on earlier identification and timely, practical support that can help individuals and families plan, manage symptoms, and maintain independence for as long as possible.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have an active role beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing guidance, oversight, and collaboration during the project period. AoA anticipated making about 15 awards under this announcement. The average federal award amount was approximately $300,000 for an 18-month project period, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and an award floor of $50,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources as part of the total project budget.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, broadly defined to include any agency of state government, not only State Units on Aging (SUAs). However, if the applicant is not the SUA, the announcement requires that the SUA be involved as a major partner in the planning, development, and implementation of the proposed project. This requirement reflects AoA's interest in ensuring projects align with and strengthen the state's aging and long-term services and supports infrastructure, rather than operating as isolated pilots.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2008 AOA AI 0813) was issued under CFDA 93.051 (Alzheimers Disease Demonstration Grants to States) and falls within the broader activity area of income security and social services. It was posted on July 9, 2008, with an application closing date of August 11, 2008, and an archive date of September 10, 2008. AoA also issued a parallel ADDGS announcement at the same time for Evidence Based Intervention Grants (HHS 2008 AOA AI 0812). States were allowed to apply under either announcement or both, giving them the option to pursue strictly evidence-based interventions, more innovation-oriented demonstrations, or a combination depending on their readiness and the solutions they wanted to implement.
For applicants seeking the full details, AoA provided an additional information link to the complete announcement document and listed a point of contact for access issues: Donald Grantt (donald.grantt@aoa.gov).
