Bill overview
The AADAPT Act reauthorizes the Project ECHO Grant Program, which provides funding to support the development and expansion of technology-enabled collaborative learning models.

The bill also requires grantees to evaluate the impact of these models on patient outcomes and healthcare providers, and mandates regular reporting to the Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services.
