Opportunity Summary:
The US Military Paralympics Extension grant (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 08 1 0019) is a congressionally directed Department of Defense award designed to support the US Paralympics Military Program in expanding awareness, education, and community understanding of how competitive sports can play a powerful role in rehabilitating injured service members. The core purpose is not only to fund athletic programming, but also to showcase and communicate the rehabilitation outcomes that can occur when wounded, ill, or injured military men and women engage in structured, high-level adaptive sports and training. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on strengthening the program's ability to reach individuals and communities with information and experiences that demonstrate the physical, psychological, and social benefits of competitive sports as part of recovery and reintegration.
This opportunity is categorized as an earmark and listed as Congressionally Directed Assistance under CFDA 12.599, meaning Congress explicitly directed the funds to a specific recipient rather than opening the competition broadly to the public. As a result, eligibility is limited: only the US Paralympics Military Program may apply, as required by Section 8085 of the FY10 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The award instrument is a grant, and the posting indicates an expectation of a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, allowing the recipient to use the federal funds without needing to provide non-federal matching dollars as a condition of the award.
The funding level is substantial, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,925,000 and an award ceiling of $5,000,000 (with a listed award floor of $0). The opportunity was posted and created on March 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2010, and it was archived on June 30, 2010. The activity category is labeled as "Other," reflecting the specialized nature of the program and the earmarked, congressionally directed context rather than a standard research, training, or construction category.
