Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Projects of National Significance - Family Support Training (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2009 ACF ADD DN 0094), was offered by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It made Fiscal Year 2009 discretionary grant funding available to support the development of training materials and the delivery of training specifically for families of children with disabilities. The central purpose was to strengthen and expand leadership training that is led by families and designed for families, aligning with Section 202(b)(2) of the Families of Children with Disabilities Support Act of 2000. In practical terms, the program aimed to help families build the knowledge and skills needed to better navigate, shape, and improve the systems of support that affect their children and their communities.
A key expectation of the funded work was that training would do more than provide general information or basic caregiver guidance. Instead, it needed to be structured to increase both access to and availability of family support services, and to directly address how family support services are developed, put into practice, and evaluated. That means applicants were expected to design training that equips families to participate in policy development, understand implementation challenges, and contribute to evaluation and improvement efforts. The emphasis on leadership indicates that the program valued family members as partners and decision-makers in service systems, not only as recipients of services.
Eligibility was geared toward national nonprofit organizations that could demonstrate real capacity to work effectively at state and local levels and to foster and provide direct services to families of children with disabilities. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education) could apply, and faith-based and community organizations were explicitly included as eligible. Foreign entities were not eligible. The underlying idea was to fund organizations that can operate with a national reach while still being able to connect training and materials to on-the-ground realities in different states and communities.
Funding for the announcement was estimated at $2,000,000 total, with an expected 10 awards. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $200,000 up to a ceiling of $2,000,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program fell under CFDA 93.631, Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance, and its activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services. The opportunity was posted on May 26, 2009, with an application deadline of July 21, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on August 20, 2009.
