The project, titled PNS: Empowering Individuals, is funded under the Projects of National Significance within the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act and is administered by the Administration for Community Living within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It aims to enhance the participation and integration of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities into all aspects of community life by fostering self-determination, independence, and inclusion. The initiative supports policy change, leadership development, and knowledge-building among individuals with disabilities, their families, and their communities through targeted activities that align with four core outcome measures. These include influencing policy reforms, increasing leadership roles for individuals and families, expanding awareness of available supports, and improving access to data resources that inform advocacy and decision-making. Funding will support measurable outputs tied to each outcome, such as the number of policy advocacy activities conducted, trainings delivered, leadership tools developed and shared, and resources disseminated to build knowledge of community supports. Projects must demonstrate how individuals with disabilities directly lead or participate in these efforts, ensuring authentic representation and empowerment. The initiative also emphasizes the role of families, advocates, and communities in reinforcing inclusive policies and practices. All work must contribute to creating systemic change at both national and state levels, with a focus on sustaining impact through data-driven strategies and widespread resource sharing. The solicitation is open to organizations capable of executing large-scale, high-impact initiatives aligned with these goals, with inquiries routed through Larissa Crossen at the Administration for Community Living.
