The purpose of the Falls Prevention Innovations Request for Proposals is to build upon ADS-BOA’s current falls prevention infrastructure by exploring new strategies to help older adults avoid falling and sustaining fall related injuries. ADS-BOA is seeking contractors to assist in strengthening the falls prevention infrastructure through Falls Prevention Innovation Projects that build on the latest research, best practices, and evidence-based falls prevention programming. This funding opportunity will provide the support and capacity needed to innovate in response to current trends and challenges, resulting in new strategies to prevent falls among older adults. Innovation projects can be implemented in various settings, including, but not limited to, hospitals, outpatient clinics, senior centers, assisted living facilities, and the homes of older adults. All Falls Prevention Innovation Projects must: identify a specific challenge within the field of falls prevention; use research, best practices, and evidence-based programming to inform project development; and have a detailed implementation plan, an evaluation component, and budget.
