Opportunity Summary:
The Projects of National Significance Data Collection on Financial and Programmatic Trends for People with Developmental Disabilities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2012 ACF ADD DN 0291) was a FY 2012 discretionary funding announcement from the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It offered support through a single cooperative agreement to carry out a national-level data effort focused on how services and supports for people with developmental disabilities are funded and delivered across the United States. The project was authorized under Subtitle E of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, under the Projects of National Significance authority, which is designed to generate knowledge and tools that can inform systems change, policy decisions, and planning nationwide.
At its core, the opportunity funded a national study intended to track and explain changes over time in publicly financed services and supports for people with developmental disabilities. The central emphasis was on financial and programmatic trend analysis, with particular attention to Medicaid spending because Medicaid is a primary payer for long-term services and supports in this field. The work was expected to look across levels of government (local, state, and federal) and to assemble, analyze, and report data that helps describe where dollars are coming from, where they are going, and how service systems are shifting year to year and over longer time horizons. The outputs were meant to be more than a one-time snapshot; the announcement explicitly called for analysis of annual outlooks and longitudinal trends in revenue, spending, and programmatic changes.
The service areas to be covered were broad and reflect major components of the developmental disabilities service system. The study scope included community living supports, services provided in public and private residential institutions, supported employment, supported living models, and Medicaid waiver programs (which are often the mechanism states use to provide home- and community-based services). In practice, that kind of portfolio implies detailed categorization of expenditures and service types, careful attention to definitional consistency across jurisdictions, and the ability to describe both spending patterns and how programs themselves evolve (for example, expansion or restructuring of waiver services, shifts from institutional to community settings, or changes in employment supports).
Funding for the award was fixed and relatively straightforward: an estimated total of $350,000, with an award ceiling of $350,000 and an award floor of $350,000, indicating the agency expected to make one award at that amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing associated with the competition was CFDA 93.631 (Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance), and the activity category was Income Security and Social Services. Because the instrument was a cooperative agreement, applicants would be expected to anticipate substantial federal involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant, typically meaning closer collaboration with the agency on deliverables, methods, reporting, and dissemination.
Eligibility was broad across public and nonprofit sectors. Eligible applicants included state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and non-federally recognized tribal organizations; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The announcement also clarified that faith-based and community organizations could apply if they met the general eligibility requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement.
Key administrative dates placed the posting on May 21, 2012, with an application deadline of July 20, 2012 (electronically submitted applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The opportunity was archived on July 23, 2012. For applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement or submitting materials, ACF directed them to the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov). The announcement also referenced an additional information link hosted on the ACF grants site.
Taken together, this funding opportunity was designed to support a single national-capacity project with strong analytic infrastructure and expertise in disability services financing, Medicaid policy and data, and longitudinal trend reporting. The intended value to the field was a credible, consistent, and policy-relevant picture of how developmental disability service systems are changing, especially in how Medicaid and other public dollars are allocated across institutional and community-based supports, employment services, and waiver-driven service delivery over time.
