Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOD DDUC 0010
This grant opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Community Living (ACL) through the Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (OIDD). It supports the network of University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service, commonly referred to as UCEDDs. The program is designed to strengthen how universities and university-affiliated entities train professionals, work with communities, generate research, and share practical knowledge that improves the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families.
ACL anticipated making up to 17 awards using Fiscal Year 2023 funds, with each award structured as a five-year grant. The funding instrument is a discretionary grant under Assistance Listing (formerly CFDA) 93.632, and it falls within the broader category of Income Security and Social Services. The notice indicates an expected award ceiling of $591,410, reflecting the maximum federal amount per award (as presented in the source data). Funding is intended to cover the federal share of costs related to administering and operating UCEDD programs.
The core of the program is the requirement that funded UCEDDs carry out four major functions. First, they must provide interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education, meaning they train students and professionals across fields (for example, health, education, social services, and related disciplines) with an emphasis on disability competence and collaboration. Second, they must deliver community services, which can include training and technical assistance to community partners, as well as running demonstration or model projects that show how effective services and supports can be delivered. Third, they are expected to conduct research that contributes to better policies, practices, and outcomes for individuals with IDD, often emphasizing applied and community-relevant work. Fourth, they must disseminate information, ensuring that what they learn and develop is shared in usable forms with stakeholders such as self-advocates, families, service systems, educators, employers, and policymakers.
UCEDDs are described as interdisciplinary education, research, and public service units within universities, or public/nonprofit entities connected to universities. Their work must address, directly or indirectly, one or more areas that affect quality of life for people with disabilities. The notice lists examples of these emphasis areas, including quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and other formal or informal community supports. In practice, this framing gives applicants room to tailor projects to local and state needs while still aligning with the UCEDD mission of improving systems and outcomes.
