The Administration on Disabilities (AoD) Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (OIDD), under the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), anticipates funding for Fiscal Year 2025 to support up to three University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDD). These centers are interdisciplinary units affiliated with universities or public/non-profit entities associated with universities.

- Research related to developmental disabilities.
- Dissemination of information to improve quality of life.
The centers address various areas such as quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and other community supports that impact individuals with developmental disabilities.
Funding covers the federal share of costs for administration and operation of these programs over a five-year period.
