Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative 2020 Awards Announced, n4a Members Among Recipients
n4a is pleased to announce that three AAA members, one Associate member and two Title VI members have received awards for ACL's state and community Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) and its Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Dementia Capability in Indian Country.
The six newly awarded, three-year cooperative agreements are located in six states across the nation.
The n4a AAA and Associate members awarded the 2020 ADPI are:
More than five million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD). As the population of older adults increases, researchers anticipate that the number of people living with ADRD will nearly triple by 2050. By 2060, the number of tribal elders age 65 and older living with dementia is projected to grow significantly. ACL's ADPI program is dedicated to meeting this challenge by developing and expanding dementia capability in states and tribal communities.
The programs awarded funding will engage in a range of activities designed to meet the needs of the communities and people they serve. Programs support and deliver culturally competent long-term services and supports to people living with ADRD, as well as to paid and unpaid caregivers.
While each program is different, all include activities designed to support unique populations, including low-income and minority communities, people with ADRD who live alone, people with ADRD living in tribal communities and their caregivers, as well as people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are at risk of developing dementia.
