Health Promotion
Program Developers—Is Your Program Ready for the List?
The National Council on Aging (NCOA) hosts a list of
health promotion programs that meet ACL’s evidence-based program
requirements for Older Americans Act Title III-D funding. This list is just
a small part of the health promotion-related technical assistance NCOA
offers to the network through their National Falls Prevention Resource
Center and the National Chronic Disease Self-Management Education Resource
Center. This list takes the guess work out of trying to find and implement
a program that meets the III-D funding requirement.
Currently, a vetting initiative is underway to evaluate
programs and add new evidence-based programs to this list! This vetting
process is conducted regularly, in order to provide the network with
current, relevant, and robust evidence-based programming options.
The University of North Carolina’s Center for Health Promotion
and Disease Prevention is offering an opportunity for program developers to
submit their programs for consideration to be added to this list. The team
at the University of North Carolina has convened a Review Council of
national leaders with expertise in aging programs, research, evaluation,
and implementation. This independent Review Council evaluates the research
base, implementation materials, and demonstrated health outcomes of
programs that apply to the initiative.
