ACL's Office of Nutrition and Health Promotion Programs, part of the Administration on Aging, has released a cooperative agreement funding opportunity to expand outreach and professional training to increase the participation of older adults with behavioral health conditions in community- and evidence-based programs. The training will help the ACL aging and disability network develop new practical skills and will improve coordination among local aging and behavioral health service providers.
The awardee will receive a total of up to $3,260,699 for a three-year project period (September 1, 2024-August 31, 2027).
Questions about this funding opportunity should be directed to Chelsea.Gilchrist@acl.hhs.gov.
The Administration on Aging, part of ACL, is the principal agency of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services designated to carry out the provisions of the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA promotes the well-being of older individuals by providing services and programs designed to help them live independently in their homes and communities. The Act also empowers the federal government to distribute funds to the states for supportive services for individuals over the age of 60.
