AoD's Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (OIDD), Administration on Disabilities, Administration for Community Living (ACL), U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) forecasts the possible availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 funds to make five-year grants to up to
3 entities designated as University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDD).
These grantees carry out four core functions:

UCEDDs are interdisciplinary education, research and public service units of universities, or public or not-for-profit entities associated with universities that implement the four core functions addressing, directly or indirectly, one or more of the areas of emphasis (e.g., quality assurance, education and early intervention, child care, health, employment, housing, transportation, recreation and other services available or offered to individuals in a community, including formal and informal community supports, that affect their quality of life).
Funds made available under this proposed funding opportunity will be used to pay for the Federal share of the cost of the administration and operation of programs.
