Part A, &quot;traditional&quot; ADSSP three year cooperative agreements, states that have not already received ADSSP systems integration grants (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) will receive priority in the funding of this program. Part B, 18 month expansion grants, is limited to those states that received ADSSP systems integration grants in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 that desire to expand on a specific component of their program.

Description: The objective of the Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is to expand the availability of dementia-capable support services for persons with Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), their families and their caregivers. This goal will be acheived by: 1) enhancing the ability of state systems and programs to embed dementia-capability in their service networks; and 2) by delivering dementia-capable supportive services using evidence-based and/or evidence-informed interventions to support persons with dementia and their caregivers. The grantees receive targeted technical assistance provided by the National Alzheimer&#8217;s and Dementia Resource Center.
