Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD PRRC 0078
The National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), focused on strengthening national support for people living with paralysis. ACL planned to fund a single National Paralysis Resource Center over a five-year project period, with the overall goal of improving health, independence, and quality of life for individuals with paralysis of all ages, as well as their families, caregivers, and broader support networks. The center is expected to raise public awareness and, more importantly, make it easier for people to find and use a wide range of services and supports that are relevant to living well with paralysis in the community.
At the core of the work, the NPRC is meant to operate as a national resource and information hub. That includes maintaining a centralized center that people can turn to for reliable information, referrals, and practical guidance. The intent is that individuals living with paralysis and those who support them gain greater confidence, stronger connections to peer and community supports, and more real opportunities to participate fully in community life. The program emphasizes outcomes like increased independence, more robust support networks, and better access to long-term services and supports that help people remain active and engaged where they live.
A major component of the grant is a subaward program. The NPRC is expected to make subawards to nonprofit community-based organizations that deliver long-term services and supports for people living with paralysis. In practice, this positions the national center not only as a direct provider of information and technical help, but also as a funder and capacity-builder that can expand the reach of effective local and community-driven programs. Alongside subawards, the center must carry out promotional activities and outreach to increase visibility of available resources, encourage service use, and broaden the overall support infrastructure available to individuals with paralysis, families, and caregivers.
The opportunity also places clear importance on evaluation and performance measurement. The NPRC must assess its activities using multiple forms of data, including performance measures, to demonstrate what is being delivered and whether it is improving access, awareness, and community integration outcomes. Across all required activities, ACL highlights values such as independence, equality, choice, and control, with the broader purpose of helping individuals living with paralysis integrate more fully into their communities and be recognized as valued participants in everyday life.
Funding for this opportunity was set as a single award with identical floor, ceiling, and total amount: $8,700,000 across the project period, reflecting ACLs plan to make one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The funding opportunity number is HHS-2021-ACL-AOD-PRRC-0078, under CFDA 93.325, and the activity category is Health. The opportunity was open to a broad range of eligible applicants, including various levels of government, public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). The notice was created March 30, 2021, with an original closing date of May 29, 2021, and an anticipated award date on or around July 1, 2021.Apply for HHS 2021 ACL AOD PRRC 0078
