Opportunity Summary:
Projects of National Significance: Emergency Preparedness Special Initiatives was a discretionary federal grant opportunity released by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD), which sits within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Using Fiscal Year 2010 funding, the program aimed to support up to five separate projects focused specifically on emergency preparedness for people with developmental disabilities. The overall purpose was to fund practical, targeted initiatives that strengthen how communities and systems plan for, respond to, and support individuals with developmental disabilities before, during, and after emergencies, while also reinforcing broader goals like self-determination, independence, community inclusion, and full participation in everyday life.
The authority for the program came from the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-402), which allows ADD to support national and state policies and initiatives that address emerging needs affecting individuals with developmental disabilities. In this case, the emerging need was emergency preparedness, with an emphasis on the role of families, guardians, advocates, and communities in ensuring people with developmental disabilities are not left out of planning and response efforts. In practice, the funded projects would be expected to contribute to policy and systems improvements, not just isolated services, consistent with the "Projects of National Significance" concept.
Funding details were straightforward and tightly defined. The estimated total funding available was $750,000, with an expected five awards. Each award was set at $150,000, and both the award floor and ceiling were $150,000, meaning awards were intended to be uniform in size. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 93.631 (Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance).
The application timeline shows this was a time-limited opportunity. The announcement was posted and created on June 25, 2010, with an application deadline of August 9, 2010. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, submissions had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on September 8, 2010, indicating the competition had closed and moved into award/administration stages.
Eligibility was highly restricted. While the underlying statute authorizes awards only to public or private nonprofit entities, this particular announcement limited eligibility to a specific list of named organizations and institutions. Only applications from those listed entities would be considered responsive; applications from any other organizations would be deemed non-responsive and not reviewed for funding. The eligible applicants listed were: Cerebral Palsy Association of Middlesex County, Inc. (Edison, NJ); Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley (Dayton, OH); IPSII, Inc. (Richfield, MN); Quality Trust for Individuals with Disabilities (Washington, DC); Regents of the University of California, Los Angeles (Los Angeles, CA); University of Delaware (Newark, DE); University of Hawaii (Honolulu, HI); University of New Mexico Health Science Center (Albuquerque, NM); University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, NC); University of Vermont (Burlington, VT); Utah State University (Logan, UT); and Wayne State University (Detroit, MI). Faith-based and community organizations could receive awards only if they met the eligibility requirements, but individuals and foreign entities were explicitly ineligible.
The official funding opportunity number was HHS-2010-ACF-ADD-DN-0032, titled "Projects of National Significance Emergency Preparedness Special Initiatives," administered by ACF. The full announcement and requirements were provided through an ACF link (as listed in the notice).
