Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Alzheimers Disease Supportive Services Program: Dementia Capability for Persons with Alzheimers Disease and Related Dementias" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-DS-0079) is a discretionary federal funding competition run by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees are expected to work in close coordination with the federal agency during implementation rather than operating with minimal federal involvement. The overall intent is to strengthen and broaden the practical, on-the-ground support available to people living with Alzheimers disease and related dementias (ADRD), as well as to the family members and other caregivers who often shoulder daily care responsibilities.
The core purpose of the program is to expand supportive services for individuals with ADRD and the people who support them. ACL frames this expansion in two complementary ways. First, the program aims to improve the "dementia capability" of state systems and programs by embedding dementia-appropriate knowledge, practices, and service standards across existing service networks. In practice, this means making sure that agencies and providers that already touch older adults and caregivers (for example, parts of the aging network and related state service systems) are better equipped to recognize dementia-related needs, communicate effectively, coordinate care, and connect individuals and caregivers to appropriate resources. Second, the program supports the delivery of concrete supportive services using models that have a track record or credible foundation, specifically approaches that are evidence-based, innovative, or evidence-informed and that have been developed within the aging network. The emphasis is not only on creating services, but on using proven or well-supported program designs that can be replicated, improved, and sustained within a state service infrastructure.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at $2,840,235 total, with an expectation of six awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from $250,000 (floor) to $450,000 (ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget, consistent with the program rules and statutory requirements. The funding activity category is listed under income security and social services, reflecting the program focus on community-based supports, caregiver services, and systems strengthening rather than clinical research or direct medical care.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and this limitation is specifically tied to statutory requirements governing the underlying program (CFDA 93.051, Alzheimers Disease Demonstration Grants to States). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to apply or receive awards under this announcement. In other words, the design is intentionally state-centered, aiming to build capacity at the state system level so that dementia-capable practices and services can be integrated broadly and maintained beyond the grant period.
In terms of timing and submission requirements, the opportunity was posted on April 23, 2014, with applications due June 11, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing was archived on July 11, 2014, which generally indicates that the specific competition cycle is closed, though the program itself may reappear in future funding rounds under different announcements.
