Description

This funding opportunity is designed to help communities reduce falls and/or falls risk among older adults and adults with disabilities through the implementation of evidence-based falls prevention programs.

This funding opportunity has two goals:

 

Goal 1: Through robust partnerships, develop a result-based, comprehensive strategy for reducing falls and falls risk among older adults and adults with disabilities living in your community.

 

Goal 2: Significantly increase the number of older adults and adults with disabilities who participate in evidence-based falls prevention programs, while concurrently pursuing the sustainability of these programs beyond the end of the grant period. Applicants for this funding opportunity must propose to deliver one or more evidence-based falls prevention programs.Applicants can use the guidelines in the Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Program Risk Continuum Resource to assist them in selecting their proposed falls prevention programs. Applicants must propose to offer at least two programs on the pre-approved list that address different levels of risk on the Continuum.

 

Note: To help ensure a wider geographic reach, it is unlikely that more than one applicant per state or tribe will be funded.
