The Foundation is pleased to announce Phase Two of the California Senior Fall Prevention Projects, part of the Foundation’s five-year Fall Prevention Initiative to reduce the risk of falls in the elderly.
In April 2006, the Foundation launched Phase One of the California Senior Fall Prevention Projects. A total of five community coalitions were funded to establish broad-based coalitions to address falls among seniors. Six program expansion programs were funded to integrate at least two of the following three components in their existing services: 1) balance and mobility training; 2) medical management through risk assessment and follow-up; and 3) environmental assessment and modification. For more information on current projects, please click here.
Phase Two of the California Senior Fall Prevention Projects includes three components:
- Coalition Development for the establishment of new community fall prevention coalitions;
- Coalition Enhancement, to provide better coordination among existing fall prevention coalition projects; and
- Program Expansion Enhancement, to refine existing program expansion projects.
Coalition Development is an open call for proposals. The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to fund the development of fall prevention coalitions in geographical areas not currently receiving funding from the Foundation.
Coalition Enhancement and Program Expansion Enhancement is limited to currently funded projects under Phase One.
