The R.I.S.E. program, supported by a grant awarded by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) as part of the U.S Administration for Community Living (ACL) Innovation Lab, will include delivery of activities for falls prevention and test whether they offer a flexible, adaptable, and relevant option to address their communities’ falls prevention needs. Quality Insights will report on how they implement their activities and specific participant outcomes, in addition to participating in technical assistance opportunities and involving community members in overall planning and decision-making through a Community Advisory Board.
