Opportunity Summary:
The Alzheimers 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 discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Its central purpose is to expand the availability and reach of dementia-capable supportive services for people living with Alzheimers Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), as well as for their family members and other caregivers. The program is designed to strengthen how states and their aging and long-term services systems respond to dementia by improving both the infrastructure of service networks and the direct delivery of supportive services.
A key feature of the opportunity is the emphasis on building "dementia capability" across state systems and programs. In practice, this means helping state service networks become better equipped to identify and meet the needs of individuals with dementia and their caregivers, coordinate across agencies and providers, and ensure services are appropriate for cognitive impairment and the progression of the disease. The grant aims to accomplish this in two main ways: first, by enhancing the ability of state systems to embed dementia-capable practices into their existing service networks; and second, by supporting the delivery of services using proven evidence-based models or innovative, evidence-informed approaches that have been developed within the Aging Network. Grantees also receive targeted technical assistance from the National Alzheimers and Dementia Resource Center, indicating that awardees are expected to learn from established resources and apply best practices with guidance rather than working in isolation.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2015 ACL AOA DS 0105 and is funded as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more active federal role during the project period compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the applicable CFDA number listed is 93.051 (Alzheimers Disease Demonstration Grants to States). ACL anticipated making about 6 awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $2,852,254, with individual awards expected to range from a floor of $450,000 to a ceiling of $600,000. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost as specified in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited and structured to expand the program to states that had not already received DS grants. The competition was restricted to state governments and other eligible entities as clarified in the announcement, but it explicitly excluded individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships. Importantly, certain states were not eligible because they had already received DS grants; those excluded states were Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. This design reflects an intentional effort to broaden geographic coverage by prioritizing states that had not previously benefited from this specific stream of dementia-support funding.
From an application logistics standpoint, the opportunity was posted on May 6, 2015, with an application deadline of July 6, 2015. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was August 5, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer open but remains available for reference. For additional details and official documents, ACL provided a link to its funding opportunities page (http://www.acl.gov/FundingOpportunities/Announcements/Index.aspx).
