Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2004
The BOLD Public Health Programs to Address Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (CDC RFA DP20 2004) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to help public health agencies build stronger, more systematic approaches to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The opportunity is grounded in the reality that Alzheimer's prevalence is increasing and that the disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, especially among adults age 65 and older. Rather than treating dementia only as a clinical or long-term care issue, this funding emphasizes dementia as a public health priority that requires population-level planning, coordinated infrastructure, and measurable action across prevention, early detection, and support systems.
The program is closely tied to the CDC Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) Road Map series, specifically the 2018-2023 State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia Road Map and the Road Map for Indian Country. These Road Maps provide the framework for what awardees are expected to build or expand, including the ability to use data to set priorities, integrate dementia into broader public health work, and partner across sectors. The NOFO also implements provisions of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act (Public Law 115-406), which established a national push to strengthen dementia infrastructure and capacity through public health systems.
Funded activities are meant to support a full prevention spectrum. This includes primary prevention through risk reduction efforts that address modifiable risk factors and promote brain health; secondary prevention through improving early recognition and diagnosis of ADRD; and tertiary prevention through efforts that reduce complications, comorbidities, and avoidable hospitalizations among people living with dementia. A major emphasis is also placed on supporting caregivers, recognizing caregiving as a critical public health issue with economic, mental health, and equity impacts. Applicants are expected to consider social determinants of health, meaning projects should pay attention to disparities and structural barriers that affect risk, access to diagnosis, care experiences, and caregiver burden across different communities.
The eligible applicants reflect a broad public health footprint: state governments, local governments (including counties, cities, townships, and special districts), and federally recognized tribal governments, as well as Indian tribes and tribal organizations. In practice, the intent is to fund health departments and closely related governmental public health entities that can lead or convene multi-partner dementia efforts. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the CDC is typically more involved than it would be with a standard grant, which usually means recipients should be prepared for technical assistance, reporting expectations, and alignment with CDC-directed strategies and performance measures.
Applicants could choose between two award tracks based on readiness. Core Capacity awards are aimed at jurisdictions that still need time to plan, strengthen foundational infrastructure, and develop or refine an ADRD strategic plan. Enhanced awards are for applicants that already have core infrastructure and an ADRD strategic plan in place and are ready to move into implementation at a higher level of intensity. This two-track structure is meant to meet agencies where they are, while still moving them toward a consistent, Road Map-aligned public health approach to dementia.
For this funding cycle, the opportunity anticipated about 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The funding opportunity was released by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NCCDPHP), under CFDA 93.334, with applications originally due May 26, 2020 (submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an infrastructure and systems-building investment: it supports jurisdictions in creating durable public health capacity to reduce dementia risk, improve early identification, limit avoidable health impacts for people living with dementia, strengthen data-driven action, and better support caregivers in ways that account for health equity and community context.Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2004
