BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence to Address Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

This NOFO fulfills activities described in the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act PL115-406. This announcement will fund Public Health Centers of Excellence (PHCOE) to support nationwide implementation of the 25 actions in the Healthy Brain Initiative’s State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map (RM) [https://www.cdc.gov/aging/healthybrain/roadmap.htm] across the United States. Each PHCOE will choose one topic-specific area for their focus from the following list: Dementia Risk Reduction, Early Detection of Dementia, and Dementia Caregiving. The activities for each PHCOE will align directly with the actions identified in the RM for each topic area. Recipients will focus on identifying, translating and disseminating promising research findings and evidence-informed best practices, including those that address social determinants of health, for nationwide systematic public health uptake by state, local, tribal and other public health programs. PHCOEs will collaborate with CDC, other national partners and state, local and tribal health entities to ensure maximum impact and reach.
