2025 stipends for Age-Friendly Action Community participants

HANYS’ Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative is seeking applications for its 2025 stipend program.

Stipend types

HANYS offers three types of stipends, with varying award amounts, purposes and eligibility requirements.

$20,000 Age-Friendly impact measurement tool stipend

Applications due Nov. 20, 2024

HANYS is offering up to five stipends for sites to build an electronic health record-integrated Age-Friendly impact measurement tool (dashboard). Stipends may be used for information technology staff hours, clinical time and/or other resources necessary to develop the dashboard.

Not-for-profit and public organizations currently enrolled in the HANYS Age-Friendly Health Systems 2025 Action Community cohort are eligible to apply if they:

  • have participated in one or more HANYS’ Age-Friendly Health Systems Action Community cohort (in 2021-2024);
  • have achieved IHI Level 2 Age-Friendly recognition at the time of application;
  • have the clinical and information technology capacity to build an EHR-integrated Age-Friendly impact measurement tool in 2025;
  • will commit to tracking six process and three outcome measures (See HANYS’ Age-Friendly Quality Measures Guide and IHI’s Measures Guide for more information); and
  • will commit to presenting results and data at a poster session in New York City in late 2025.

$10,000 Age-Friendly flex stipend

Applications due Jan. 31, 2025

HANYS is offering up to nine flex stipends sites can use to jump-start their Age-Friendly work. These funds may be used for patient engagement for co-design and/or for staff hours spent on the organization’s Age-Friendly program.

Not-for-profit and public organizations currently enrolled in the HANYS Age-Friendly Health Systems 2025 Action Community cohort can apply for this stipend. Preference will be given to organizations that have not previously received a stipend under the Age-Friendly Action Community initiative.

Age-Friendly cross-sector partnership stipend

Information coming soon.

HANYS anticipates offering a limited number of stipends to support the creation or expansion of cross-sector partnerships. Details will be released soon.

Applications should be submitted to actioncommunity@hanys.org. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their submissions via email by spring 2025.

Recipients will be selected based on demonstrated financial need, project feasibility (including a draft budget), potential impact and sustainability. More than one care setting affiliated with a health system may apply for and receive funding.
