Opportunity Summary:
The Self-Advocacy Resource Center grant opportunity (HHS 2016 ACL AOD DNRC 0176) is a discretionary, single-award cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL). The purpose is to establish and operate a national resource center focused on strengthening and expanding self-advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The center is expected to function as a hub that gathers practical knowledge and makes it usable for multiple audiences, including self-advocacy organizations and other entities that support or collaborate with them.
A central feature of the program is governance and direction through an advisory committee that the grantee will select. The opportunity emphasizes authentic representation and leadership by requiring that 75 percent of the advisory committee members be people with I/DD. This structure signals that the resource center should not only serve self-advocates, but also be shaped by them, with priorities, products, and activities grounded in lived experience and the needs of self-advocacy networks.
The funded center is expected to carry out several core activities. These include documenting and disseminating tools and resources that are useful to self-advocacy groups, as well as collecting and sharing success stories and best practices tied to self-advocacy efforts. The center’s scope spans self-advocacy research activities, policy development, and the provision of training and technical assistance, suggesting a mix of knowledge translation, capacity-building support, and field development. In addition, the center will administer small leadership grants, which are typically used to seed local or emerging leadership and to help self-advocates test, grow, or replicate promising approaches. Another required deliverable is creating and maintaining a website, positioning the center as an accessible, continuously updated public-facing platform for resources, stories, and guidance.
Funding is capped at $400,000 (award ceiling), with one award expected. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted May 25, 2016, with an application deadline of July 25, 2016. The program is listed under CFDA 93.631 and falls within the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services.
