OpportunityTitle: BOLD Public Health Programs to Address Alzheimer&apos;s Disease and Related Dementias
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Applicants may apply for only one type of award.  All applicants must clearly indicate which type of award (Core Capacity or Enhanced) they are applying for in their application title. Multiple applications from the same entity (DUNS) will not be accepted. CDC will not accept and review applications with budgets greater than the ceiling of the award range ($350,000 for Core Capacity &amp; $500,000 for Enhanced). Applications with budgets that exceed the ceiling of the award will be considered non-responsive and will not be entered into the review process. Core Capacity: No additional criteria Enhanced: Applicants must include, in the appendices, evidence of all of the following: 1) An ADRD state/tribal/local strategic plan published and made publicly available as evidenced by an external facing URL/web link. The full ADRD state/tribal/local strategic plan and the URL must be attached in the Appendices; 2) An Alzheimer&amp;rsquo;s or dementia statewide coalition or advisory committee that has been active for a full 2 years (Since February 2018) immediately prior to this application. Acceptable evidence of an active advisory committee includes: Copies of Minutes and agendas from all meetings ( at least 2 meetings every 12 months for the immediate past 24 months ( February 2018- current), including a membership roster; and 3) the required 30% match must be reflected clearly in the proposed budget.  If any of these required documents are missing, the application will be deemed non-responsive and will not be passed along for further review. CDC is providing funds to both underserved populations with no or limited infrastructure, as well as higher capacity public health departments in order to best meet the objectives of the BOLD Act (PL 115-406). This criteria ensures that CDC is able to fund two different levels of support, Core capacity and Enhanced.  This criteria will encourage Enhanced applicants to demonstrate they have the existing infrastructure to conduct higher-level implementation activities.
Description: The prevalence of Alzheimer&apos;s disease is rising. It is the 5th leading cause of death for people aged 65 years or older in the US and the 6th leading cause of death overall. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will fund health departments of states, political subdivisions of states, Indian tribes and tribal organizations to develop systematic approaches to improve the public health approach to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and related dementias (ADRD) using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s (CDC) Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: the 2018-2023 Road Map, as well as the Road Map for Indian Country (RM series) as a framework. This NOFO carries out actions from the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer&#8217;s Act PL115-406. The activities under this NOFO align with the topics of the RM series and serve to develop a strong public health approach to ADRD, including risk reduction (primary prevention), early diagnosis of ADRD (secondary prevention), prevention of comorbidities and avoidable hospitalizations (tertiary prevention), using data for priority setting and action, and support for caregiving for persons with dementia, including addressing social determinants of health. Applicants can apply for either Core Capacity or Enhanced awards. Core Capacity awards are intended for applicants who need additional planning time to develop infrastructure and ADRD strategic plans. Enhanced awards are intended for applicants who are ready to begin implementation and already have infrastructure and an ADRD strategic plan in place.
