Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2026 ACL AOA ADPI 0034
The Alzheimer s Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) - Dementia Capability in Indian Country funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) to help strengthen home and community-based services (HCBS) for Tribal communities facing dementia. The core purpose is to support the development and implementation of dementia-capable HCBS systems in Indian Country so that people living with dementia, along with their caregivers, can remain safe, supported, and as independent as possible within their own communities. The program emphasizes building services that are quality-focused and strengths-based, meaning they are designed to recognize and build on the abilities, preferences, and cultural context of Tribal Elders and families rather than approaching dementia care only from a deficit perspective.
This NOFO is specifically intended for federally recognized tribes, Tribal organizations, and consortiums representing federally recognized tribes that are already responsible for and actively providing home and community services in Tribal communities. A key expectation is that applicants can demonstrate Tribal leadership support and clear authority to carry out the proposed work, signaling that funded activities are aligned with community priorities and have the governance backing needed to be implemented effectively. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible for funding under this announcement.
The opportunity includes two distinct application pathways within the same NOFO. Option A is for tribes or Tribal entities that have previously received ADPI grants; these applicants must propose how they will expand beyond their prior ADPI-funded efforts. The grant is not meant to simply keep earlier ADPI activities running, so Option A projects should show meaningful growth, enhancement, or scaling rather than continuation. Option B is for tribes or Tribal entities that are new to the ADPI program; these applicants are expected to enhance existing service systems by adding dementia-specific services and supports, ultimately creating a dementia-capable system that better serves Tribal Elders with dementia and their caregivers.
Awards are structured as cooperative agreements, which generally means the funding agency expects an active partnership with recipients during the project period rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The project period is 36 months. The maximum award amount is up to 300,000 dollars per award, and ACL anticipates making about 6 awards. The funding opportunity number is HHS 2026 ACL AOA ADPI 0034, the CFDA number is 93.470, and the activity area is categorized under Income Security and Social Services. The application closing date is July 22, 2026, and the opportunity was posted on June 22, 2026.Apply for HHS 2026 ACL AOA ADPI 0034
