The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) has opened a new application opportunity to provide technical assistance (TA) at no charge to selected states, territories, or tribes for up to 100 hours per year, for up to two years.
TA recipients will work with national subject matter experts to develop a TA plan and achieve the outcomes identified in that plan. The NCAPPS team at the Human Services Research Institute will coordinate and deliver TA, in collaboration with subject matter experts. For more information about the current NCAPPS TA cohort, including summaries of TA activities and products, visit the Technical Assistance page of the NCAPPS website.
The NCAPPS June webinar included four of the states from the first cohort of NCAPPS TA -- the event (recording here) showcased what those states had learned from their TA and how they plan to use those learnings to continue making their systems more person-centered.
The application is the first of two phases in applying for TA. Within two weeks of submission of this application, the NCAPPS team will contact applicants to finalize the TA request during a second phase. The second phase involves a videoconference between the NCAPPS team and the applicant to gather more information, explore intended outcomes in greater detail, and confirm that the applicant is in a position to effectively advance needed change.
The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS) assists states, tribes, and territories to transform their long-term care service and support systems to implement U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy on person-centered thinking, planning, and practices. It supports a range of person-centered thinking, planning, and practices, regardless of funding source. Activities include providing technical assistance to states, tribes, and territories; establishing communities of practice to promote best practices; hosting educational webinars; and creating a national clearinghouse of resources to support person-centered practice.
