Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued 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), supports the continued operation of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs). Using FY 2011 funds, ADD planned to award up to two discretionary grants with five-year project periods. The purpose is to fund UCEDDs as interdisciplinary university-based (or university-affiliated) entities that strengthen systems of services and supports for people with developmental disabilities and their families by combining education, research, community engagement, and information sharing.
The program is built around four required core functions that every funded UCEDD must carry out. First, centers must provide interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education, meaning they train students, fellows, and professionals across multiple disciplines to work effectively with individuals with developmental disabilities. Second, they must deliver community services, which can include training, technical assistance, demonstrations, and model programs that show how services can be improved or expanded in real-world settings. Third, UCEDDs must conduct research that contributes to better understanding, policy, practices, and outcomes in developmental disabilities. Fourth, they must disseminate information so that research findings, best practices, and practical resources reach practitioners, individuals with disabilities, families, and community partners. In practice, the program expects these four functions to reinforce one another, such as using community demonstration work to inform research, and then turning research results into training and widely shared tools.
UCEDDs are described as interdisciplinary education, research, and public service units within universities or as public or nonprofit entities associated with universities. Their work can address one or more areas of emphasis tied to quality of life and community inclusion. The announcement gives examples such as quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and other formal and informal community supports that affect everyday life for individuals with developmental disabilities. The funding is specifically intended to cover the federal share of the costs involved in administering and operating programs designated as UCEDDs, rather than being a narrow project-only award.
This specific competition was limited in eligibility. Under Section 151(a) of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act), UCEDD funding is structured as five-year grants to designated entities in each state. For this announcement, only two current ADD grantees whose five-year funding cycles were ending on June 30, 2011 were eligible to apply: (1) the University of Arizona, Sonoran UCEDD in Tucson, Arizona, and (2) the University of California, Davis, University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities in Sacramento, California. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly not eligible to apply or receive awards under this opportunity.
In terms of award scale, the opportunity anticipated up to two awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,070,000. The award floor and ceiling were both listed as $535,000, indicating a fixed annual award amount per grantee under this announcement. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to document non-federal contributions consistent with the program rules. The funding instrument type was a grant, categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and associated with CFDA 93.632 (University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service).
Key administrative dates were also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on December 17, 2010, with an application closing date of February 15, 2011. Electronic submissions through Grants.gov were required by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was March 17, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
