The Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) State Pilot Program is designed to help assess the most effective and efficient ways to enhance the capacity of community disability programming and increase the services and supports available for individuals with paralysis. Through this funding opportunity announcement, ACL will award approximately two PRC State Pilot Program grants that will provide quality of life subawards to community-based disability agencies that serve people living with paralysis, their families, and their support networks.
In fiscal year (FY) 2018, ACL awarded two PRC State Pilot Program grants, and this announcement demonstrates ACL’s intent to make approximately two additional grants in FY 2019. All activities funded under this grant will promote greater independence, equality, choice, and control for children, adults, and older persons with paralysis and enable them to more fully integrate into their communities.
Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs); University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs); and foundations are excellent candidates for this opportunity.
Applications for the Paralysis Resource Center State Pilot Program are due June 4, 2019. See the link for more details on applying.
