Dementia CAReS Grants for American Indian and Alaska Native Communities

The Indian Health Service is seeking applications for the Dementia CAReS Grants for American Indian and Alaska Native Communities. The purpose of this funding is to support efforts to design, implement, and promote activities that help work towards achieving tangible, meaningful, and measurable action in every Tribal and Urban Indian community to positively impact the lives of people at risk of and living with dementia. The four core strategies for this funding opportunity are to provide mini-grant funding, develop and support a call to action, document and spread locally developed emerging practices and success stories, and develop and implement an evaluation and data management plan. • The funding will support priority areas and address direct care, service, and training needs. • The call to action will help staff and communities learn from each other and work together to develop and achieve collective impact and improve outcomes. • The evaluation approach will track project progress and outcomes. • Eligible applicants include Federally recognized Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations.
