Building Our Largest Dementia Infrastructure (BOLD)

  • The Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act was passed into law on December 31, 2018 (P.L. 115-406) and amends the Public Health Service Act (Section 398A; 42 U.S.C. 280c-3-4). The activities outlined in BOLD are designed to create a uniform national public health infrastructure with a focus on issues such as increasing early detection and diagnosis, risk reduction, prevention of avoidable hospitalizations, and supporting dementia caregiving. It's designed to promote implementation of CDC's Healthy Brain Initiative State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map and the Indian Country Road Map.
  • The BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act directs CDC to:
    1. Establish Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Public Health Centers of Excellence
    2. Award funding to public health departments
    3. Increase data analysis and timely reporting
