Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOA ADPI 0418
The Alzheimer’s Disease Programs Initiative - Dementia Capability in Indian Country is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership and ongoing involvement from the federal project team rather than a strictly hands-off grant relationship. The overall purpose is to strengthen tribal home and community-based services (HCBS) so they are better equipped to support people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), along with their families and unpaid caregivers, within Native communities.
At its core, the program is focused on building “dementia capability” across tribal service systems. That includes improving how tribal programs recognize dementia-related needs, respond appropriately, coordinate services, and connect elders and caregivers to practical supports. The opportunity emphasizes two main strategies. First, it supports efforts to embed dementia capability into existing tribal service networks, so dementia-informed practices become part of routine operations rather than stand-alone activities. Second, it funds the delivery of dementia-capable supportive services, including dementia-specific evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions, to directly assist tribal elders with ADRD and the people who care for them.
A major theme of this opportunity is cultural competence. Applicants are expected to develop and implement educational resources that fit the cultural context of the communities they serve, helping improve understanding of ADRD in Indian Country. In addition to education and awareness, projects are expected to strengthen the practical capacity of HCBS systems through culturally appropriate direct services that reflect local values, language considerations, community structures, and caregiving traditions. The grant also highlights the importance of training and consultation for both caregivers and providers, with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of care and supportive service programs in tribal settings.
The funding is specifically intended to address gaps in Indian Country that have not been adequately reached by broader Alzheimer’s and dementia program investments. While ACL has long supported Alzheimer’s and dementia initiatives, the opportunity notes that only a limited share of those resources has historically been dedicated to tribal communities, leaving service and support gaps for people with ADRD and their caregivers. This initiative sets aside funding expressly to meet tribal needs and to expand dementia-capable infrastructure and services where they are most lacking.
Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations. The opportunity (HHS 2020 ACL AOA ADPI 0418; CFDA 93.470) was created March 27, 2020, with an original application deadline of May 26, 2020, requiring electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
