Opportunity Summary:
The Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Department of Defense through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). The program is rooted in USU's statutory authority under 10 USC 2113(g)(1)(A), which allows the university to award grants to nonprofit entities to support cooperative efforts tied to medical research, medical consultation, and medical education. In practice, this funding stream is being used to strengthen and expand nonprofit work that places trained assistance dogs with wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans, with the broader goal of improving health, daily functioning, and quality of life through credible service-dog partnerships and related support services.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HU0001 16 USU 0001) was posted on March 22, 2016, with an application closing date of June 22, 2016. It is structured as a competitive grant program, meaning eligible organizations apply and awards are made based on an evaluation process rather than being automatically distributed. USU previously launched the program in FY15 using congressionally directed funding and awarded ten grants to assistance-dog nonprofit organizations. For FY16, USU indicated it planned to continue the effort by making multiple new grant awards, with the listing projecting up to 20 expected awards. The notice does not specify an award ceiling in the provided data, so applicants would need to consult the full funding announcement for budget limits, allowable costs, performance periods, and reporting requirements.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status and are not institutions of higher education. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" (with clarification expected in the full announcement), and the program is associated with CFDA number 12.750. Overall, the grant is designed to support established nonprofit assistance-dog organizations that can demonstrate the capacity to responsibly train, place, and support service dog teams for military-affiliated recipients, aligning that work with USU's broader mission areas of health-related research, consultation, and education.
