FUNDING NARRATIVE
EVIDENCE BASED HEALTH PROMOTION (EBHP)
Statement of Philosophy and Purpose
Title IIID of the Older Americans Act (OAA) was established in 1987. It provides grants
for education and activities that support healthy lifestyles and behaviors for those 60
and older. In 2012, Congress mandated that Title IIID funding be used only for
programs and activities that have been demonstrated to be evidence - based. Evidence -
based Health Programs are those which have been developed, researched, and
rigorously tested in order to yield consistent, desired results. They reduce the need for
costly medical interventions and enable older adults to live independently longer.
Funding support is provided to states under Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Services (Title IIID), to empower older adults to take control of their health. Through
these programs, seniors learn to maintain a healthy lifestyle through increased self -
efficiency and self- management behaviors. Classes are provided to older adults in their
own communities, in familiar non - clinical settings, such as community centers, and in
peer learning groups which provide support, socialization and reinforcement of positive
behavior changes.
In keeping with the directive to promote and implement Evidence Based Health Promotion
(EBHP) Programs in the North Carolina aging network, the following funding will be
distributed per the intrastate funding formula to Lead - agencies within Region O.
Title IIID standards for SFY 2016/2017 have changed to meet the federal
requirements that only evidence -based programs meeting the highest tier criteria
shall be offered and supported with Title IIID funds, effective July 1, 2016.
