University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) Minority Partnership Grants

The Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the availability of fiscal year 2009 funds to award, on a competitive basis, at least two partnership grants to University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs). The partnership grants will be with minority-serving institutions as defined in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 and will utilize a variety of innovative knowledge exchange and transfer strategies that promote and create interdisciplinary approaches to research, training (e.g., pre-service, continuing education, community-based), and services to minority populations with disabilities.
