Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACL AOD DDTI 0035
The UCEDD National Training Initiative (NTI) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2022 ACL AOD DDTI 0035) is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL), specifically the Administration on Disabilities (AoD). It is designed to strengthen how states support people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and who also experience co-occurring mental health or behavioral health disabilities. The core idea is that many people with IDD rely on services that are split across different public systems, and this funding aims to reduce those silos by building a shared, practical training approach that both sides can use.
Funding is limited and competitive, with ACL planning to make up to two awards nationwide. Each award can be as large as $250,000 (the award ceiling), and the project period is three years, which signals that ACL is looking for more than a one-time training event. The expectation is that grantees will use the time to develop, test, and put in place a sustainable training infrastructure that fits the specific needs of a state, rather than relying on a generic or one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Only existing University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs) are positioned to lead these projects, meaning the grants are intended for organizations already recognized as UCEDDs and capable of operating at a high level across training, service, and systems work. The program centers on UCEDDs convening multi-disciplinary teams that include personnel from state IDD agencies and personnel from state mental and behavioral health agencies. By putting these groups at the same table and giving them a structured way to build a joint training strategy, the initiative is meant to improve day-to-day coordination, shared understanding, and aligned practices across systems that often operate separately.
A major deliverable implied in the description is the creation and implementation of a shared training infrastructure. In practice, this typically means developing training content, processes, and routines that can be delivered repeatedly and consistently, potentially including cross-agency training plans, joint onboarding or professional development modules, agreed-upon competencies, and mechanisms for updating training as policies and evidence change. The emphasis on tailoring to a state's needs suggests the training should reflect local service structures, workforce gaps, and real barriers faced by people with co-occurring IDD and mental/behavioral health needs, rather than simply repackaging national materials.
Just as important as the training itself is the program's explicit focus on improving coordination between the two agencies, in collaboration with other key partners. That points to broader systems alignment beyond training rooms, such as improving shared approaches to service planning, referral pathways, crisis response, and coordination of supports that are jointly provided. The grant description highlights that these improvements should happen in collaboration with other stakeholders involved in the service ecosystem, which can include providers, advocates, community organizations, and other state partners who influence how supports are delivered.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.632 and uses the grant funding instrument type, within the health funding activity category. The original posting date was February 25, 2022, and the original closing date was April 26, 2022, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at a small number of UCEDDs that can demonstrate the capacity to convene cross-system leadership, develop workforce training that both IDD and mental/behavioral health systems will actually adopt, and translate that shared training foundation into more coordinated services for people living with co-occurring needs.Apply for HHS 2022 ACL AOD DDTI 0035
