National Caregiver Support Collaborative (NCSC) grantees carry out distinct but complementary projects, all focused on advancing the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. The cooperative agreements fund the development, testing, and dissemination of innovative approaches and best practices to support family caregivers.
Six NCSC grantees operate on a national level, collaborating with all components of the aging and tribal services network, including state units on aging, area agencies on aging, tribal entities, state developmental disabilities networks, and local service providers. Each project is expected to focus its activities on all populations of family caregivers addressed by the National Family Caregiver Support Program (OAA Title III-E) and the Native American Caregiver Support Program (OAA Title VI-C). In addition, grantees identify opportunities to tailor approaches to family caregivers not directly supported by these programs — such as adult family caregivers under age 55 supporting people with disabilities under 60 — but for whom such innovations might be helpful.
