Opportunity Summary:
The Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs in Tribal Communities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2016 ACL AOA FP 0133) was a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL), through the Administration on Aging (AoA). It was financed solely with FY 2016 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF-2016) and structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expected to have an active partnership role during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The purpose of the funding was to support tribal communities in delivering evidence-based falls prevention programs and building the local infrastructure needed to run those programs effectively. In practical terms, this centered on helping tribal entities expand access to proven community interventions that reduce falls and fall risk among older adults, including older adults with disabilities. The emphasis on "evidence-based" signals that funded activities were expected to rely on programs with demonstrated outcomes, not newly invented or untested approaches, with the broader intent of reducing injuries, loss of independence, and related health complications that often follow falls.
The grant set out two main goals. The first was participation growth: significantly increasing the number of tribal older adults and older adults with disabilities who are at risk of falling and who actually enroll in and complete evidence-based community programs designed to lower falls and falls risks. The second goal focused on sustainability beyond the federal award period by encouraging innovative funding arrangements. This sustainability piece is important because it pushes applicants to think early about how the programs will continue after the two-year grant ends, such as through braided funding, partnerships, reimbursement mechanisms, shared-cost models, or other local and regional financing strategies that can keep the interventions available long-term.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). ACL anticipated making approximately four awards, with an award ceiling of $150,000, supporting a two-year project period. The opportunity was posted on February 24, 2016, and the application closing date was May 9, 2016. The associated CFDA number for the program was 93.761, and the overall activity category was listed under Health, reflecting the public health and injury-prevention focus of falls prevention work in older populations.
Taken together, the opportunity was designed to do two things at once: increase immediate access and participation in proven falls prevention services in tribal settings, and strengthen the local systems and financing approaches needed to keep those services in place after federal start-up funding ends.
