Opportunity Summary:
The Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) grant opportunity is a FY 2015 discretionary funding announcement from the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) within the Administration for Community Living (ACL), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The award is authorized under Section 301 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 241, 247b(k)(2)) and is designed to fund one national-level center that focuses on improving the health and overall quality of life for people living with paralysis across the lifespan, while also supporting their families and caregivers.
At its core, this opportunity aims to strengthen awareness of and access to a wide range of services that matter to people with paralysis. The PRC is expected to serve as a national hub for information, outreach, and practical support, helping individuals and communities navigate resources and connect to services that can improve day-to-day living and long-term health outcomes. A major emphasis is placed on identifying and addressing environmental barriers to health, which can include physical accessibility challenges, gaps in community supports, limited availability of appropriate health promotion programs, or barriers within systems of care that prevent people from getting the services they need.
The funded PRC is expected to do several things at a national scale. This includes broad outreach and education; sharing timely, accurate, and useful information and resources for people of all ages living with paralysis; and providing grants intended to enhance community living opportunities. In addition to distributing resources and supporting community-based improvements, the PRC must also contribute to the field by expanding the knowledge base around effective health promotion strategies, particularly those that have demonstrated success in improving both physical and emotional health for individuals living with paralysis.
Another key component of the work involves evaluation and translation of evidence into practice. The PRC is expected to conduct evaluation projects that take evidence-based or promising practices and adapt or translate them into programs that can operate effectively in community-based settings. The opportunity also highlights training for health care professionals, signaling an expectation that the PRC will help improve professional understanding and capacity so that health systems and providers are better equipped to support individuals with paralysis using proven approaches.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, which generally means substantial involvement from the federal agency in guiding or partnering on the work. The opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $6,529,823. The award ceiling is $6,529,823 and the award floor is $6,500,000, indicating the project is expected to operate at a large national scale. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broadly open to organizations (unrestricted by type), but with explicit exclusions: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement. The funding opportunity number is HHS-2015-ACL-AIDD-PR-0093, and the CFDA number listed is 93.325 (Paralysis Resource Center). The application was posted February 23, 2015, with an application deadline of April 27, 2015 (electronically submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET), and the archive date is May 27, 2015. Additional details were provided through the ACL funding announcements page, and the listed contact for access issues was Elizabeth Leef (Elizabeth.Leef@acl.gov).
