Opportunity Summary:
The Diversity Leadership Institute grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACL-AIDD-DI-0076) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically through the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD). It is framed around a major demographic shift in the United States: as racial and ethnic diversity increases, the number of individuals with disabilities within those communities is also growing. The announcement highlights that by 2050 the country is expected to have no single ethnic majority, and it argues that programs serving people with developmental disabilities will need a training, staffing, and technical assistance agenda that genuinely reflects this diversity. The core premise is that cultural and linguistic competence does not advance on its own; it requires capable, persistent leadership to drive changes in systems, organizations, policy, and day-to-day practice.
The purpose of the funding is to support one organization in designing a Diversity Leadership Institute that builds and strengthens leadership focused on cultural and linguistic competence and diversity within developmental disability settings. The Institute is expected to create interactive forums and use multiple delivery methods, including both face-to-face and web-based modalities. The intent is to reach people who are already leading diversity and cultural/linguistic competence efforts, as well as people who are interested in taking on those roles, and to provide them with opportunities to explore the unique responsibilities, challenges, and strategies involved in making sustainable organizational and systems-level change.
Financially, the opportunity is set up as a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $225,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $225,000, signaling that ACL/AIDD expected to fund one project at that exact amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA 93.631, Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance, and it falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, including state and local governments, county and city/township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, public and private institutions of higher education, and tribal governments and tribal organizations (including federally recognized tribal governments). Nonprofits may apply whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category. At the same time, the announcement clearly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving an award.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on May 8, 2014, with an application deadline of June 19, 2014. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on July 19, 2014.
