This funding opportunity from the Indian Health Service, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, aims to enhance dementia care and related services for American Indian and Alaska Native communities in Tribal and Urban Indian areas. The program is deeply rooted in Indigenous values and community self-determination, focusing on creating measurable improvements throughout the entire dementia care continuum—from early detection to caregiver support. It offers two distinct funding options to address these goals. Option A, called Dementia CAReS (Care Access, Resources, and Support), will award one national recipient to coordinate integrated priorities including mini-project funding for culturally tailored clinic services, establishing a network of dementia champions among frontline leaders, sharing successes through case studies and toolkits, and conducting evaluation and data efforts using common performance measures. Option B will also fund one national awardee to develop and implement a culturally relevant caregiver support and training center, providing resources, technical assistance, and prioritized support to Tribes and Urban Indian organizations, emphasizing leadership, advocacy, and caregiver knowledge and skills development. Funding for Option A ranges from $500,000 to $750,000 for the first budget period, while Option B offers between $250,000 and $300,000. The program is designed to fund projects over five one-year budget periods, resulting in a total performance period of five years. Both options require recipients to document emerging practices using standardized measures that will facilitate continuous quality improvement and improve health outcomes for AI/AN individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. This initiative underscores a collaborative, culturally appropriate approach and aims to build sustainable dementia care infrastructure within Indigenous communities.
