Healthy Brain Initiative

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Aging and Healthy Communities Unit's Healthy Brain Initiative is requesting proposals to reach and engage communities in Minnesota impacted by Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias to improve brain health. The focus is on engaging communities disproportionately impacted by underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. These communities include Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC); Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+); American Indian; people living with disabilities; and communities in Greater Minnesota. 

Project proposals will demonstrate how organizations create, improve, or amplify brain health messages and strategies that reduce dementia risk, detect and diagnose dementia earlier, and support people living with dementia and their care partners. 

Applications are due November 12, 2024
