Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) to Assist Protection and Advocacy Systems (P&As) to Establish or Improve Voting Access for Individuals with Disabilities," was issued by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-ADD-DH-0021) that makes FY 2010 funds available to support training and technical assistance designed to strengthen how Protection and Advocacy Systems promote full, practical access to voting for people with disabilities. The announcement was specifically modified to update the application deadline, changing it to July 27, 2010, and it emphasizes that electronic submissions through Grants.gov had to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
At its core, the program is meant to fund organizations that can provide hands-on, usable training and technical assistance to P&A agencies as they work to improve the real-world voting experience for individuals with disabilities. The scope is broad and covers the full arc of participating in elections: registering to vote, casting a ballot, and physically accessing polling places. It also targets the technical side of voting access, including building proficiency in the use of voting systems and related technologies, and supporting demonstrations and evaluations of how those systems perform for voters with disabilities. A key feature of this opportunity is its focus on assessing both the availability and actual use of accessible voting systems and technologies for individuals with disabilities, explicitly including people who are blind. The announcement also calls out non-visual access as a priority area, stating that at least one funded recipient must provide training and technical assistance specifically focused on non-visual access, reflecting the expectation that accessibility must extend beyond physical access and include usable, independent access to ballots and voting interfaces.
Funding details indicate an estimated total program funding level of $367,920, with an expectation of making about four awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $91,980 to a ceiling of $183,960. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.618, "Voting Access for Individuals with Disabilities Grants for Protection and Advocacy Systems." There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation easier for eligible applicants because the federal award does not require the grantee to contribute a specified amount of non-federal funds.
Eligibility is aimed at nonprofit organizations, including nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, as well as private institutions of higher education. The notice clarifies that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they otherwise meet the stated requirements, while individuals and foreign entities are not eligible to apply. In practice, the eligible applicant pool is oriented toward organizations capable of delivering structured training, developing technical guidance, and offering specialized assistance to P&A systems that are responsible for disability rights advocacy and protection, including in the context of voting access.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on June 9, 2010, with a creation date of June 29, 2010. The original closing date was July 24, 2010, but the revised (current) closing date became July 27, 2010. The archive date is listed as August 26, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
