Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2005
The BOLD Public Health Centers of Excellence to Address Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias opportunity (CDC RFA DP20-2005) is a federal cooperative agreement program created to carry out key parts of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act (Public Law 115-406). The overall aim is to strengthen the public health approach to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) by funding a small number of Public Health Centers of Excellence (PHCOEs) that can help drive consistent, nationwide implementation of priority dementia actions across states, localities, tribes, and other public health partners.
At the center of the program is the Healthy Brain Initiative's 2018-2023 State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia Road Map, which lays out 25 concrete actions for public health agencies and partners. Funded PHCOEs are expected to support broad adoption of these actions across the United States, not just within a single jurisdiction. Each Center of Excellence must select one focus area and align its work directly to the Road Map actions connected to that topic. The three allowable focus areas are Dementia Risk Reduction (helping prevent or delay cognitive decline through public health strategies), Early Detection of Dementia (improving timely recognition and diagnosis and connecting people to services), and Dementia Caregiving (supporting caregivers and strengthening systems that serve families and care partners).
A major expectation of these Centers is that they act as national translators and disseminators of what works. That includes identifying promising research findings and evidence-informed best practices, converting them into practical tools or approaches that public health agencies can actually implement, and then distributing those resources widely so they can be taken up systematically by state, local, tribal, and other public health programs. The description also emphasizes incorporating approaches that address social determinants of health, signaling that the work should consider real-world barriers and inequities that affect dementia risk, access to early evaluation, and caregiving supports.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, CDC is not simply providing funds and stepping back; the model is designed for active collaboration. PHCOEs are expected to work closely with CDC, other national partners, and state, local, and tribal health entities to maximize reach and impact. In practice, that implies coordination, shared planning, and ongoing technical exchange to ensure the Centers' products and strategies fit public health needs and can be scaled.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within NCCDPHP, and falls under CFDA 93.334. It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an expectation of three awards. Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district), independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other entities as described in the eligibility clarification text. The notice was created March 25, 2020, with an original application due date of May 26, 2020, and electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.Apply for CDC RFA DP20 2005
