Description
This opportunity funds a single cooperative agreement to operate the National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC), serving as the nation’s primary source for trusted information, peer support, and community-based resources for individuals living with paralysis, their families, and support networks. The NPRC aims to improve health, independence, and quality of life by reducing barriers to community living, providing real-time help, and strengthening community capacity through subawards. The program emphasizes outreach to unserved, underserved, and hard-to-reach populations and requires robust collaboration, performance tracking, and a public dashboard of outcomes.
