In 2008, the Administration on Aging (AoA) shifted the focus of the Alzheimer’s Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP)―AOA’s program that provides grants to states for projects to improve services to people with dementia and their caregivers―to support projects that translate evidence-based, nonpharmacological interventions from research to practice in the community. Sixteen states used ADSSP grants to conduct translation projects to implement nine existing evidence-based interventions. These projects are now complete. This report analyzes the experience of those ADSSP state grantees and their community partners to understand what issues they confronted and the strategies they used to address them.
