Opportunity Summary:
Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disabilities is a discretionary Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, focused on strengthening health outcomes for people with intellectual disabilities (ID). The central aim is to reduce preventable health problems in this population by expanding access to appropriate health services and encouraging healthier day-to-day behaviors. The program is designed to produce practical, measurable improvements by combining direct support to individuals with ID, workforce development for clinicians, and broader awareness and systems-level access changes.
The funded work is organized around four main strategies. First, recipients are expected to provide health assessments for people with ID, connect them to needed medical or supportive services through referrals, and deliver health education that is understandable and usable for individuals and their caregivers. Second, the program emphasizes training health care professionals so they are better equipped to provide high-quality, respectful, and effective care for people with ID, addressing gaps in clinical knowledge, communication approaches, and accommodations. Third, the program calls for raising awareness about the health needs and experiences of people with ID, which can include outreach to providers, communities, and other stakeholders to reduce stigma and improve understanding. Fourth, recipients are expected to improve health care access more broadly, which can involve identifying and reducing barriers such as limited provider capacity, inadequate care coordination, transportation challenges, or systems that are not designed to accommodate disability-related needs.
Administratively, this opportunity is identified as CDC RFA DD12 12010101SUPP15, with a CFDA listing of 93.184 (Disabilities Prevention). It was posted on March 19, 2015, with an application deadline of May 20, 2015, due electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and it was archived on June 19, 2015. The CDC anticipated making two awards under this announcement. Estimated total funding was listed as $1,167,000, with an award floor of $667,000 and an award ceiling of $1,667,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility is narrow because this is a competing supplement rather than an open competition. Only organizations already funded under CDC RFA DD12 1201 were eligible to apply, meaning it was intended to extend or expand existing, previously supported work rather than start brand-new projects with new applicants. Because it is a cooperative agreement, awardees should expect substantial involvement from the CDC during implementation, such as collaboration on program direction, performance expectations, and monitoring, which is typical for this type of federal funding mechanism.
For questions or problems accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Mary Helen Witten at muw4@cdc.gov through CDC Grants Policy.
