Funding-Limited Submission – Administration for Community Living - PPHF - 2014 - Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs Financed Solely by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds; June 4, 2014

Purpose: This funding opportunity is designed to increase the number of older adults, American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian elders, and adults with disabilities at risk for falls who participate in evidence-based community programs to reduce falls and falls risk, while concurrently increasing the sustainability of these programs through innovative funding arrangements. The awards will be made in the form of cooperative agreements because the Administration on Aging (AoA) will be substantially involved. These cooperative agreements have an anticipated start date of September 1, 2014.

Funding Amount: This funding opportunity has two components, state and tribal grants, with differing funding levels. The Option 1 state grant awards will support approximately 8-10 grants to domestic public or private non-profit entities averaging about $400,000 per award, for a two-year forward funded project period. The Option 2 tribal grant awards will support approximately five grants to Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal Organizations up to $100,000 per award for a two-year forward funded project period.

Institutional Limit: The University of Kentucky may submit only one application for Option 1.

Internal Competition: Because this sponsor limits the number of applications that can be submitted, the University of Kentucky has established an internal selection process. Researchers interested in applying are to submit the following material electronically to the Office of the Vice President for Research at limitedsubmissions@uky.edu and a copy to their Associate Dean for Research by Wednesday, June 4, 2014:
