Request for Proposals: AVOID Frailty Regional Centres for Healthy Aging Grants Competition

The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) is looking to fund at least three Regional Centres for Healthy Aging (RCHA) in spreading the implementation of CFN’s AVOID Frailty Program – a community-driven health intervention that aims to enable uptake and maintenance of healthy behaviours among older adults. The selected regional centres will spread the AVOID Frailty Program by engaging and empowering community members and organizations. It is expected that the regional centres will foster an enabling environment for behaviour change that includes co-ordinated assistance for older adults to identify, navigate, and access local health and social services. Using an approach that incorporates both a digital platform (specifically modified and adapted for AVOID Frailty) and personnel support, behaviour change strategies (i.e., education, self-monitoring, and nudging) will aim to facilitate individual-level and community-level adoption of evidence-based behaviours of healthy aging.
