The Administration on Aging (AoA), part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), plans to award 4 to 6 cooperative agreements with a four-year (48-month) project period, subject to the availabilty of funds. The two primary goals are: Goal 1: Develop capacity to increase the number of older adults and adults with disabilities who participate in evidence-based falls prevention programs to empower them to reduce falls and/or their risk of falls. Goal 2: Identify and implement one or more robust strategies that will promote the sustainability of evidence-based falls prevention programs.
