Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOD DNPA 0004
The grant opportunity titled "Access to Integrated Employment: National Data Collection on Day and Employment Services for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities" is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Administration for Community Living (ACL) through the Administration on Disabilities (AoD). It is offered as a 5-year Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the federal funder expects to have an active partnership role during the project period rather than simply providing funds and receiving periodic reports. The central purpose is to continue and strengthen national-level research and data collection focused on how states deliver day and employment services and related supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), with a strong emphasis on integrated employment outcomes.
A major aim of the project is to ensure the field continues to have dependable, longitudinal (year-over-year) information that can be used to guide policy decisions and program improvements at both the state and federal levels. AoD is looking for a project that can track trends in how services are structured and delivered, and that can produce consistent data over time so that changes in policy and practice can be measured in a credible way. Beyond simply maintaining an ongoing dataset, AoD wants the work to support analysis of newer policy developments and their real-world effects, especially as systems evolve and states try different approaches to supporting employment for people with I/DD.
The announcement also highlights the importance of understanding COVID-era and post-COVID impacts on employment services. The pandemic triggered substantial disruptions and shifts in how services were provided, including changes in service availability, the move toward remote or hybrid models in some settings, workforce challenges, and alterations in day services and employment supports. AoD expects this project to serve as a source of information about how those disruptions and adaptations affected service delivery, access, and outcomes for people with I/DD. In other words, it is not only about describing current services, but also about documenting how and why those services changed, and what the consequences of those changes appear to be.
Another key expectation is strong dissemination of findings in multiple accessible formats. AoD is explicitly prioritizing communication that reaches different audiences, such as policymakers, state agencies, providers, advocates, researchers, and people with disabilities and their families. This typically implies products beyond traditional academic papers, such as public-facing reports, briefs, infographics, webinars, presentations, and materials designed to be accessible to a wide range of users. The goal is to make the results usable for decision-making, not just archived as research outputs.
AoD also signals a desire for greater coordination among the three national studies it funds in this area. This suggests the grantee will need to collaborate with other federally supported projects to align measures where appropriate, share insights, reduce duplication, and amplify overall impact. The underlying intent is to produce a more connected national picture of employment and day services trends, and to make sure findings across related studies reinforce each other and better inform the field.
