Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is a progressive condition. It begins with mild memory loss and may lead to the inability to communicate or respond to one's environment. Its prevalence is rising with the aging U.S. population. In 2021, it was the 5th leading cause of death for those 65 and older, with death rates continuing to climb.

The CDC Alzheimer's Disease Program, through the National Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) and funded partners, promotes brain health, addresses cognitive impairment, and supports caregivers using evidence-based approaches. This funding opportunity aligns with the HBI Road Map Series (including the State and Local Road Map 2023–2027 and the Road Map for Indian Country) and fulfills the aims of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act (P.L. 115-406).

Funding Structure: 

Component 1: National Healthy Brain Initiative: Funds up to two (2) organizations to develop and implement public health strategies guided by the HBI Road Map Series. Funded organizations will: 

  • Develop evidence-informed training for health care and public health professionals on ADRD and caregiving. 
  • Expand the availability and use of public health surveillance data, including adaptation & revision of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) subjective cognitive decline and caregiver optional modules. 
  • Facilitate the coordination of recipients and national partners to address ADRD. 
  • Funding range: $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 per 12-month budget period.

  • Identify, disseminate, and promote best practices. 
  • Translate promising research into practical tools and resources. 
  • Increase professional education and develop materials to address specific individual needs to improve health outcomes. 
  • Funding range: $750,000 to $1,000,000 per 12-month budget period. 

Component 3: ADRD Public Health Adoption Accelerator. Funds up to two (2) organizations to serve as public health strategy adaptation accelerator programs. This means using dissemination and implementation of science to spread and put into practice effective public health strategies, tools, and resources to tackle ADRD. Organizations will: 

  • Collaborate with CDC and other organizations to create a prioritized list of ADRD approaches & strategies. 
  • Use proven strategies to engage partners, health care organizations, and policymakers to enhance uptake and implementation, accelerating the impact of ADRD efforts.

Rural Health Network Advancement ProgramThe Rural Health Network Advancement Program is a four-year grant initiative administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, aimed at strengthening integrated networks of independent rural hospitals and clinics. The program seeks to address structural barriers that hinder small rural providers from competing in a consolidated healthcare environment by fostering collaborative operations that preserve local autonomy while enhancing economic efficiency, service sustainability, and care delivery. Applicants must form networks of at least three separately owned entities, with 66% located in HRSA-designated rural areas, and demonstrate a formal governance structure, prior financial commitment from members, and the capacity to lead advanced health network initiatives. The program offers two funding tracks—Operational or Clinical Services—with award amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 over four years, depending on the scope and needs of the network. The application requires a comprehensive work plan, staffing and organizational profiles, geographic mapping of service areas, and detailed budget justifications, all constrained to a 60-page limit for core narrative components. Evaluation is merit-based across six criteria, with Resources and Capabilities carrying the highest weight at 40 points, followed by Response, Support Requested, Performance Reporting and Evaluation, Impact, and Need, each contributing to a total of 100 points. A separate mandatory risk assessment, based on SAM.gov data, past performance, and financial compliance, is conducted independently and may disqualify applicants regardless of merit. Proposals are submitted exclusively through Grants.gov by July 24, 2026, and must comply with strict formatting and file-type requirements, excluding encrypted or password-protected documents. All awardees are required to implement performance measurement systems, submit regular reporting, and develop long-term sustainability plans ensuring continuation of network functions beyond federal funding. The start date for performance is September 30, 2026, with a mandatory end date of September 29, 2030.
