Opportunity Summary:
The National Council on Disability (NCD) announced a planned discretionary funding opportunity, listed as a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NCD 17 01), to support development of its congressionally mandated 2017 Progress Report. NCDs Progress Report is an annual publication intended to advise the President, Congress, and other policymakers on disability-related policies, programs, procedures, and practices that advance equal opportunity for people with disabilities. The report is designed to assess how people with disabilities are doing in specific focus areas each year and to translate findings into actionable recommendations that improve economic self-sufficiency, independent living, and full inclusion and integration across society. Prior years reports are available through NCDs Progress Reports webpage at http://www.ncd.gov/progressreports.
For 2017, the selected theme is poverty, with an emphasis on understanding why people with disabilities experience disproportionately high poverty rates and persistently high unemployment even though federal regulations and public policy are intended to improve access, opportunity, and outcomes. The planned report is expected to dig into the drivers that keep many people with disabilities "stuck" in poverty, identify gaps between policy intent and real-world results, and recommend changes that could help lift people with disabilities out of poverty. In practical terms, the project would likely involve synthesizing current research and data, examining how existing systems and incentives affect employment and income, and presenting policy recommendations aimed at improving economic stability and opportunity.
The anticipated period of performance is about 10 months, and the opportunity is explicitly contingent on the availability of fiscal year 2017 federal funding. NCD indicated it would release the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to interested parties on June 7, 2016, with responses expected by close of business on July 8, 2016. The NOFO was to be posted on grants.gov and ncd.gov, and could also be obtained by mail or picked up from NCD beginning on the issue date. While the listing notes an expected single award, it does not specify an award ceiling (shown as 0 in the source fields), meaning applicants would need to rely on the NOFO for final budget parameters and requirements.
This notice is a presolicitation announcement, meaning it was provided for planning and awareness only and was not itself the formal NOFO. It does not obligate the government to make an award or contract for services, and NCD stated it was not accepting unsolicited proposals at that stage. The government also made clear it would not reimburse costs associated with responding to the presolicitation notice, and that responses to the notice could not form a binding agreement. Interested applicants were instructed to monitor grants.gov and ncd.gov for official updates and the full solicitation materials.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity subject to any additional clarifications that would appear in the formal NOFO. The administering agency is the National Council on Disability. For direct questions, the point of contact listed is Amy Nicholas at anicholas@ncd.gov, located at 1331 F Street NW, Suite 850, Washington, DC 20004, with phone 202-272-2008 and TTY 202-272-2074.
