Description
The Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities within the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, forecasts five-year grants for up to 42 designated University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs). Funding supports the federal share of program administration and operations.
UCEDDs are interdisciplinary university units, or university-associated public or nonprofit entities, carrying out four core functions: interdisciplinary pre-service preparation and continuing education, community services, research, and information dissemination. Community services include training, technical assistance, demonstrations, and model activities. Their work addresses areas affecting quality of life, including quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, and formal or informal community supports.
