Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOD ILTA 0423
The Centers for Independent Living Training and Technical Assistance Grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2020-ACL-AOD-ILTA-0423) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), under CFDA 93.432. The award is designed to create a national training and technical assistance hub (often described as the CIL TampTA hub) that strengthens the operational and programmatic capacity of Centers for Independent Living (CILs). In practical terms, the project is meant to function as a central source of expertise and support so that CILs can operate effectively, meet compliance expectations, and continuously improve how they deliver independent living services.
The core purpose of the TampTA hub is to provide targeted training and hands-on technical assistance that helps CILs achieve operational excellence, especially in financial management and the core responsibilities tied to CIL programs. This includes helping centers navigate the day-to-day requirements that keep them running smoothly and in compliance, while also supporting high-quality service delivery. Beyond troubleshooting and compliance support, the hub is also expected to bring forward innovative ideas that help CILs reduce inefficiencies and improve how services are delivered, which can include identifying better processes, sharing promising practices across the network, and promoting methods that make services more accessible and sustainable.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is network-building and collaboration. The hub is expected to foster state and national partnerships that broaden CILs external stakeholder connections. That can involve strengthening relationships with government entities, community organizations, other disability and independent living partners, and additional stakeholders who can expand a CILs reach and effectiveness. Alongside partnership development, the grantee must evaluate the effectiveness of the hub itself. This evaluation is intended to show that the grantee is competent in meeting compliance expectations, that the training provided leads to measurable increases in participant knowledge and skills, and that the hub maintains a consistent commitment to delivering high-quality services and activities.
The opportunity also calls for national convening and strong communications capacity. The TampTA hub must conduct a bi-annual training symposium intended to be the leading national symposium for grantees, creating a recurring forum for skill-building, shared learning, and coordinated problem-solving across the CIL community. In addition, the hub must develop and maintain an online and digital presence that keeps pace with changing digital trends, meaning the project should provide accessible, up-to-date online training resources, communications, and tools that meet users where they are and remain relevant as platforms and expectations evolve.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). ACL anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $889,490. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects an active role in the project beyond standard grant oversight. The opportunity was created on April 22, 2020, with an original closing date of June 22, 2020, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.Apply for HHS 2020 ACL AOD ILTA 0423
