Community Partnerships for Older Adults – New Call for Proposals

Community Partnerships for Older Adults is an eight-year, $20 million grant
initiative of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

(Many thanks to Sandi Boughton for passing this along.- Russ)

In this second round of funding, a maximum of 17 communities will
receive development grants of up to $150,000 for 18 months. Letters
of intent are due January 9, 2004.

This national program fosters community partnerships that will improve long
term care and supportive services systems to meet the current and future
needs of older adults. The program challenges partnerships to build on their
experience, share and learn from other communities, and help to shape state
and national policy as solutions are developed and implemented for the
future.

Diversity is a guiding principle of this initiative. The program seeks
applications from existing community partnerships or collaborative groups
with broad and diverse memberships from communities throughout the United
States.

The full Call for Proposals and information about how to apply are available
online at the program Web site:
