Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00212
The Accessibility Review Training Pilots initiative outlines the National Park Service's intent to award funding for accessibility training and technical assistance. Indiana University's National Center on Accessibility (NCA) will receive $195,000 to continue its cooperative agreement aimed at enhancing accessibility within parks, recreation, and tourism sectors.
The main goal of this project is to establish standard operating procedures (SOP) for conducting accessibility reviews. These guidelines will help various public and private entities ensure that their facilities are accessible to individuals with disabilities. NCA will conduct pilot reviews based on these SOPs, assess their effectiveness, and offer training to improve implementation. In addition, they will provide technical assistance, online resources, and ongoing support throughout the project.
The collaboration between NPS and NCA will facilitate the development of a comprehensive training plan aimed at fostering an accessibility culture in agencies and organizations. Through this effort, the program seeks to integrate the perspectives of the disability community and ensure that the training and resources meet the needs of various stakeholders involved in accessibility efforts.
This undertaking is justified as a continuation of an existing project, making competition for the award impractical, as it ensures the consistency and ongoing success of previous initiatives. The funding is expected to enhance the capacity of both NPS and external partners to provide accessible services and will facilitate the creation of a more inclusive environment in outdoor and recreational spaces. The performance period for this agreement extends until September 30, 2017.Apply for P15AS00212
