The Administration for Community Living is forecasting a funding opportunity titled "Projects of National Significance: Protecting Rights and Abuse," aimed at enhancing the rights and preventing abuse of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The initiative seeks proposals from private institutions of higher education to develop projects that promote self-determination, independence, and inclusion in community life for these individuals, while also supporting policy development at national and state levels. With an estimated total program funding of $1,875,000, the award ceiling is set at $375,000 and the floor at $300,000, with one award expected to be made.
