One (1) grant will be awarded in each of the five Priority/Goals in the Strategy:

No entity will receive more than one grant under this new initiative.
Applicants to each priority area should be those well-positioned and with the requisite experience and capacity to address the respective issues and foster national advancements in those areas.The grantees will be expected to closely collaborate all activities and to align approaches with the concepts contained in the Strategy and its companion document First Principles:
Cross-Cutting Considerations for Family Caregiver Support.
Under these cooperative agreements, grantees will be working in very close coordination with the ACL Program Officer and a new Technical Assistance and Coordinating Center for Family Caregiver Support & Best Practices that is being established concurrently.
Grantees will also be expected to work with other ACL-funded technical assistance centers as appropriate, and other collaborative initiatives as funding permits.
