Opportunity Summary:
The National Council on Disability (NCD) released a single-award research funding opportunity titled "The Affordable Care Act and What it Means for People with Disabilities" under Funding Opportunity Number NCD0114. The purpose of the opportunity is to support work that examines the implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) specifically for people with disabilities, with the expectation that the resulting analysis will help inform disability policy and improve understanding of how major health reform intersects with the needs, rights, and real-world experiences of disabled individuals. The opportunity is categorized under Health and is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency anticipates having substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on scope, deliverables, or review of interim outputs), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
Funding for this project is fixed at a total of $135,000, and the award structure is straightforward: NCD expected to make one award, with an award ceiling of $135,000 and an award floor of $135,000. In other words, the opportunity was designed for one recipient to conduct the full body of work at a set budget level, rather than distributing smaller awards across multiple organizations or offering a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal funds to complement the federal award as a condition of receiving the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any further limitations or clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. This typically signals a broad applicant pool that could include universities, nonprofits, for-profit research firms, and other qualified organizations, provided they can meet federal award requirements and demonstrate the capability to complete the research and reporting deliverables. The official posting date and creation date were both April 1, 2014, and the closing date for submissions was April 29, 2014, giving applicants a relatively short application window to prepare and submit their materials.
For full details, the announcement directed prospective applicants to the NCD research opportunity page listed in the notice, which would contain the project scope, required deliverables, submission instructions, and any evaluation criteria used to select the awardee. Applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically were instructed to contact Joan Durocher, General Counsel and Director of Policy at the National Council on Disability, using the contact pathway provided through the agency website (www.ncd.gov).
