The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) at ACL has opened two new funding opportunities under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) program.

The eight selected grantees include health care systems, academic institutions, municipalities, and community-based organizations. They will receive approximately $4.3 million in combined funding to implement an array of evidence-based falls prevention programs in eight states across the country.

The webinar will review Appendix F – Participant Rights in the HCBS waiver application and the safeguards this appendix provides for participants.

"Turning Resources into Action" will feature speakers from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, who will share information about federal resources and funding that can be used to support integrated housing options for people with I/DD.

ACL has opened a new funding opportunity designed to improve how state units on aging, area agencies on aging, and local service providers deliver services to populations with the greatest economic and social need.

ACL plans to award approximately $11.5 million as a single cooperative agreement to a domestic public or private nonprofit entity to serve as a national center of excellence (COE) to support the development and enhancement of aging and disability organizations funded by ACL to become community care hubs (CCHs).

Today marks the start of Older Americans Month (OAM) – a chance to celebrate the contributions older adults make to our lives and our communities.

Grants will support implementation of the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.
