Abstract: The Administration for Community Living (ACL), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), supports the execution of the Fidelity Evaluation of ACL’s Evidence-Based Programs. ACL’s mission is to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults and people with disabilities across their lifespan. ACL provides mandatory funding to 50 states and six U.S. territories (the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands) under Title III-D of the Older Americans Act (OAA) (i.e., mandatory grantees), and also awards grants on a competitive basis to applicants who seek to promote the well-being of target populations through disease prevention and health promotion (i.e., discretionary grantees).
