Opportunity Summary:
The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) grant opportunity, titled "Creating and Sustaining Dementia-Capable Service Systems for People with Dementia and their Family Caregivers," is a federal funding initiative focused on improving how states support people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), along with their families and unpaid caregivers. The central aim is to expand access to "dementia-capable" supportive services, meaning services that are intentionally designed to recognize the unique needs of people with dementia, adapt service delivery appropriately, and coordinate across systems so individuals and caregivers can actually navigate and use the help that exists.
The program is structured around two major objectives. First, it seeks to strengthen state-level systems and programs so dementia-capability is not just offered as a one-time project, but embedded into ongoing service networks. In practical terms, this often implies improving how agencies identify dementia-related needs, training the workforce and partner organizations, developing better referral pathways, and integrating dementia considerations into existing aging, disability, and community service infrastructures. Second, the program supports the direct delivery of dementia-capable supportive services using evidence-based and/or evidence-informed interventions. That emphasis signals that funded activities are expected to rely on approaches with research support or credible practice-based evidence, rather than ad hoc or untested programming, with the goal of improving outcomes for both the person with dementia and the caregiver.
This opportunity was offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL), and was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds, such as close collaboration, structured guidance, and progress monitoring. An important feature of this funding is that awardees receive targeted technical assistance from the National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center, which is intended to help grantees implement dementia-capable practices effectively, align with best practices, and strengthen sustainability and replication.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2016-ACL-AOA-DS-0148 and the CFDA number 93.051. The activity category is listed under income security and social services, reflecting its focus on supportive community-based systems rather than biomedical research. Eligible applicants include state governments, with additional eligibility allowances referenced in the official guidance. The opportunity anticipated making about 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per award. The posting and creation date were March 22, 2016, and the application closing date was May 23, 2016. Overall, the grant is designed to help states build durable, coordinated service systems that better support day-to-day living, care planning, and caregiver stability for households affected by ADRD, while promoting the adoption and scaling of interventions that have demonstrated value.
