Show full summary
- Families and patients: Would target rural, frontier, health professional shortage and medically underserved areas and Native populations to improve early and accurate diagnosis and quality dementia care.
- Health care workers: Would fund technology-enabled collaborative learning to train and retain primary care providers who serve underserved communities.
- Grants, rules, and oversight: Creates a new Project ECHO Alzheimer’s grant track with a supplement-not-supplant rule, requires grantee reporting to the Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services, and directs HHS to post an updated report within 4 years. It authorizes $10.0 million per year for FY2022–2032 for existing programs and $1.0 million per year for FY2027–2032 for the new Alzheimer’s grants.
*Would authorize roughly $116 million in funding through FY2032, increasing federal spending.*

Alzheimer's training grants for underserved providers
This bill would expand Project ECHO-style grants to train providers on Alzheimer's care. HHS would award one or more grants within one year of enactment to test and expand these tech-based training models. The focus would be primary care professionals serving rural, frontier, shortage, or medically underserved areas and populations, including Native Americans, plus public or nonprofit groups that can run Alzheimer’s ECHO programs. Grantees would measure results, add to (not replace) other funds, and report; HHS would post an updated report within four years. It would authorize $10 million each year for FY 2022 through 2032 for other Project ECHO work, and $1 million each year for FY 2027 through 2032 for the Alzheimer’s grants. These are authorizations; Congress would still need to provide the money.
