Opportunity Summary:
The 2023 Empowering Communities to Deliver and Sustain Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs opportunity (HHS-2023-ACL-AOA-FPSG-0005) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically through the Administration on Aging (AoA). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with the federal project office rather than a hands-off grant. The overall intent is to help communities measurably reduce falls and fall risk among older adults and adults with disabilities by expanding access to proven, evidence-based falls prevention programs. A clear priority is reaching people in underserved communities, consistent with the Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, so applicants are expected to design outreach and delivery approaches that intentionally address barriers faced by populations that have historically had less access to health-promoting services.
The opportunity is built around two primary goals. The first goal centers on capacity-building: strengthening local systems so more older adults and adults with disabilities can participate in evidence-based falls prevention programs, with the practical aim of helping participants lower their risk of falling. This typically implies building referral pathways, training and supporting program leaders, expanding delivery sites, improving recruitment and enrollment processes, and ensuring programs can be offered in locations and formats that work for the target populations. The second goal is sustainability: awardees must identify and put into practice one or more strong strategies that allow falls prevention programming to continue after the federal project period ends. Sustainability in this context usually involves embedding programs into existing community infrastructure, developing lasting partnerships, establishing reliable financing or reimbursement approaches where possible, integrating programs into health care and social service workflows, and using data to demonstrate outcomes that justify continued investment.
ACL anticipates making roughly 4 to 6 awards, with an expected total of 6 awards listed, and an award ceiling of $600,000. Projects are planned for a four-year period of performance (48 months), contingent on the availability of federal funds. The opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.761. Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government (state, county, city or township, and special districts), independent school districts, public and state-controlled colleges and universities, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility reflects the community-based nature of falls prevention, where leadership might come from aging services networks, public health agencies, disability organizations, housing entities serving older adults, or academic-community partnerships.
Key administrative details include the posting timeframe and deadline. The funding opportunity was created on November 3, 2022, with an original application due date of January 11, 2023. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. In practical terms, applicants were expected to propose a community-focused plan that both scales evidence-based programming to reach more participants, especially in underserved populations, and demonstrates a credible pathway to keeping those programs operating long-term beyond the federal funding window.
