Evidence-Based Disease Prevention
Grants Program
The evidence-based disease prevention grants program is a public-private partnership of federal agencies and
private foundations coordinating their efforts to support evidence-based prevention programs at the state and
community level.
Evidence-based prevention programs are interventions based on the application of principles of scientific reasoning, behavior change
theory, and program planning that are proven effective in reducing the risk of disease, disability, and injury among the elderly.
State and local programs that implement evidence-based practices will be better able to improve the health status of this vulnerable
population.
