Opportunity Summary:
The PPHF 2014 Alzheimer's Disease Initiative Specialized Supportive Services (ADI SSS) project is a discretionary federal grant program run by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and funded entirely through the 2014 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF). It uses cooperative agreements, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with the federal agency rather than a hands-off pass through of funds. The overall purpose is to close practical, on-the-ground service gaps in long term services and supports (LTSS) for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and for their caregivers, with an emphasis on person centered supports that help individuals stay independent and safe in their own communities for as long as possible.
A central concept in this opportunity is the idea of a "dementia capable" system. In this context, dementia capable does not just mean having a program that serves older adults; it means a service network that is specifically prepared to recognize and respond to dementia related needs at multiple points of contact. The announcement highlights three core elements: first, the ability to identify individuals who may have dementia and encourage appropriate medical follow up; second, ensuring that the workforce interacting with clients has suitable training, understands dementia specific needs and available services, and can communicate effectively; and third, delivering high quality, person centered supports that reduce risk and promote community living. When appropriate, the system should also include and support family caregivers, recognizing that caregiver involvement often determines whether someone can safely remain at home.
The grants are aimed at filling gaps in three priority service areas. The first priority is developing or expanding effective supportive services for people with ADRD who live alone in the community, a group that often faces heightened safety risks and lacks built in day to day help. The second priority focuses on improving programs and services for individuals aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities who have ADRD or are at high risk of developing it, acknowledging that dementia may present differently and that service systems for developmental disabilities and aging services have not always been well integrated. The third priority is strengthening caregiver support by providing behavioral symptom management training and access to expert consultation, targeting some of the most stressful and technically challenging aspects of caregiving such as responding to agitation, wandering, sleep disruption, and other behavioral expressions of unmet needs.
From a funding and competition standpoint, ACL anticipated making about 10 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $9,931,760. Individual awards were expected to range from $750,000 to $1,000,000. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to plan for nonfederal contributions consistent with the announcement's rules. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.763 (Alzheimer's Disease Initiative Specialized Supportive Services Project through the Prevention and Public Health Fund), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility was broad in terms of organizational types, including state, county, city or township, tribal governments, special district governments, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non 501(c)(3)), public and private institutions of higher education, for profit organizations (including small businesses), and other entities as allowed in the full notice. However, the practical eligibility bar was more specific: applicants needed to demonstrate that they already had a dementia capable system dedicated to the population they serve and could clearly describe how the proposed project would enhance and strengthen that existing system. In other words, the funding was intended for organizations that were well into building dementia capability, not those just starting from scratch. The services proposed were expected to be evidence based or, where that was not possible, evidence informed. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly not eligible.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS 2014 ACL AOA AL 0090 and an original posting date of July 7, 2014. The original application deadline was August 6, 2014, later extended to August 13, 2014, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The announcement was archived on September 5, 2014.

2) What is the main goal of this funding opportunity?

The program is specifically focused on closing real-world LTSS service gaps for individuals with ADRD and for caregivers.
