Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOD DDUC 0398
This grant opportunity, titled "University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research and Service" (UCEDD), is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically the Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (OIDD). The program anticipates using Fiscal Year 2020 funds to support up to three organizations with five-year grants to operate as designated UCEDDs. In practical terms, the federal government is investing in university-linked centers that strengthen services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by combining education, community-based work, research, and broad information-sharing.
The purpose of the funding is to cover the federal share of the costs tied to administering and operating programs that are officially designated as UCEDDs. UCEDDs are described as interdisciplinary units that sit within universities or are run by public or nonprofit entities that are associated with universities. The interdisciplinary requirement matters because these centers are expected to bring together expertise across fields (for example, education, health, social work, psychology, public health, rehabilitation, policy, and related areas) in order to improve outcomes and quality of life for people with developmental disabilities and their families.
Funded centers are expected to carry out four core functions. First, they must provide interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education, meaning they help train students who are entering the workforce as well as professionals who need ongoing skill-building. Second, they must deliver community services, which can include training, technical assistance, and demonstration or model programs that show effective approaches in real-world settings. Third, they must conduct research that contributes useful knowledge to the field, ideally research that is relevant to community needs and can be applied to practice and policy. Fourth, they must disseminate information, ensuring that research findings, tools, training materials, and lessons learned are shared in ways that communities, service providers, policymakers, self-advocates, and families can use.
The work supported by this opportunity can address one or more areas of emphasis that influence the daily lives of individuals with disabilities. Examples highlighted in the announcement include quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and other services and supports available in a community. Importantly, the scope is not limited to formal systems; it also includes informal community supports that affect quality of life. That framing signals that UCEDDs are intended to be practical, community-facing centers that strengthen inclusive systems and expand access to meaningful supports across many parts of life.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2020-ACL-AOD-DDUC-0398 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.632, within the broad activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The anticipated number of awards is three, with an award ceiling of $572,086. Applications were due electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 3, 2020, and the notice was created on January 30, 2020. Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which typically means applicants should carefully confirm the specific institutional requirements, especially the expectation of being a university-based or university-affiliated public/nonprofit entity capable of meeting UCEDD designation and program expectations.
Overall, the grant is designed to maintain and expand a small number of university-connected centers that serve as hubs for workforce training, community partnership and technical assistance, applied research, and public dissemination, all aimed at improving services, systems, and community inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOD DDUC 0398
