Opportunity Summary:
The Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program (WWSDP) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU). Its purpose is to provide competitive grant funding to nonprofit organizations that focus on training and placing assistance or service dogs with disabled Service Members and Veterans. In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen the pipeline of qualified organizations that can responsibly prepare service dogs and match them with wounded, ill, or injured military personnel and former military personnel who can benefit from this kind of assistance.
This opportunity was published under Funding Opportunity Number HU0001 15 USU 0001 and is associated with CFDA 12.750 (Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects). While it sits within a medical research-related CFDA listing, the funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with the clarification that the announcement is issued by USU and is specifically seeking nonprofit applicants committed to connecting service dogs with Service Members and Veterans. The funding instrument is a grant, and awards are made on a competitive basis rather than being distributed automatically or by formula.
The announcement projected an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000, with an expectation of making up to 12 awards. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to provide a specific financial match as a condition of receiving funds. This can lower the barrier to entry for nonprofits that have strong programs and expertise but limited unrestricted fundraising capacity.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction points the program toward mission-driven nonprofit service dog organizations and similar entities rather than universities or college-based programs. Applicants would be expected to demonstrate organizational capability and alignment with the program goal of training and placing assistance dogs specifically with disabled Service Members and Veterans.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on June 19, 2015, with an original and final application deadline of August 7, 2015, and it was archived on September 6, 2015. The agency contact listed for access issues related to the full announcement was Christina Johnson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-295-3069 (with an email also referenced in the source text).
