The RAISE Act Family Caregiver Resource and Dissemination Center

Grant Summary

In recognition that as our nation ages, a growing number of us will be – or need – caregivers, the Recognize, Assist, Include, Support and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregiver Act was signed into federal law in 2018 to develop a national strategy to recognize and support family caregivers. This grant to the National Academy for State Health Policy will develop a Resource and Dissemination Center to support the work of the RAISE Act Advisory Council being assembled by the Administration for Community Living. The Resource and Dissemination Center will research policies and evidence-based programs, convene experts, provide information to the public and test the Advisory Council’s recommendations for family caregiving policies and programs in select states.
