UCEDD National Training Initiative to Support Youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities involved with the Juvenile Justice System

Summary

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is forecasting a federal grant opportunity for a University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) National Training Initiative. The initiative aims to support youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) who are involved with the juvenile justice system. The effort is focused on training and capacity-building at a national level to improve outcomes for this population.

Risks & flags

• Opportunity is forecasted with very limited detail — no scope of work, budget, or eligibility criteria disclosed, making it difficult to assess competitive fairness
• UCEDD-specific framing in the title may implicitly favor existing UCEDD grantees who are already embedded in the ACL network
