Opportunity Summary:
The University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDD) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ACF ADD DD 0050) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Using FY 2010 funds, the program planned to make up to three awards for a five-year project period to support entities designated as UCEDDs. The overall purpose is to fund the federal share of the administration and operation of UCEDD programs that strengthen services and supports for people with developmental disabilities through a combined education, research, and community service approach.
The funded UCEDDs are expected to carry out four required core functions. First, they must provide interdisciplinary preservice preparation and continuing education for students and fellows, building a workforce with cross-disciplinary skills relevant to developmental disabilities. Second, they must deliver community services, which can include training, technical assistance, and demonstration or model projects designed to improve real-world systems and practices. Third, they must conduct research that advances knowledge and improves outcomes for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Fourth, they must disseminate information so that research findings, effective practices, and useful resources reach practitioners, policymakers, families, and communities.
Structurally, UCEDDs are described as interdisciplinary education, research, and public service units based within universities, or public/nonprofit entities associated with universities. Their work must address one or more areas of emphasis that affect quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities, either directly or indirectly. Examples listed in the announcement include quality assurance; education and early intervention; child care; health; employment; housing; transportation; recreation; and other community services and supports, including both formal systems and informal supports that shape daily life and inclusion.
Eligibility for this specific competition was narrowly limited by statute and program context. Under Section 151(a) of the Developmental Disabilities (DD) Act of 2000, funds authorized for UCEDDs are awarded as five-year grants to designated centers in each state to carry out the four core functions. For this particular FY 2010 funding opportunity, only three currently funded ADD grantees whose five-year funding was scheduled to end on June 30, 2010 were eligible to apply: the University of South Florida (Florida Center for Inclusive Communities), Vanderbilt University (Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities), and Texas A and M University (Center on Disability and Development). Individuals and foreign entities were explicitly not eligible.
In terms of scale and award structure, the announcement projected up to three awards with an estimated total funding level of $1,626,000. The award floor and ceiling were both listed as $542,000, indicating an anticipated uniform award size per recipient. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.632 (University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service). The opportunity also indicated a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would need to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Key dates and submission details were clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on March 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2010, and an archive date of May 21, 2010. Applications submitted through Grants.gov were required to be received no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
