Announcing the Intent To Award a Single-Source Supplement for the
Amputee Coalition of America, Inc. for the National Limb Loss Resource
Center Cooperative Agreement
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces the
intent to award a single-source supplement to the current cooperative
agreement held by the Amputee Coalition of America, Inc. for the
National Limb Loss Resource Center (NLLRC). The purpose of this project
is to expand on current grant activities occurring across communities.
These activities include programs that promote independence, community
living, and the adoption of healthy behaviors that promote wellness and
prevent and/or reduce chronic conditions associated with limb loss and
increase partnerships and collaborations with ACL programs that will
benefit all people living with limb loss or limb differences. The
administrative supplement for FY 2022 will be for $490,698 bringing the
total award for FY 2022 to $3,883,259.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The additional funding will not be used to
begin new projects. The funding will be used to enhance and expand
existing programs that can serve an increased number of veterans and
people living with limb loss and limb differences by providing
increased technical assistance activities; promoting health and
wellness programs; addressing healthcare access issues, including
maternity care; promoting the adoption of healthy behaviors with the
objective of preventing and/or reducing chronic conditions associated
with limb loss; increasing partnerships and collaborations with ACL
programs that will benefit all people living with limb loss or limb
differences; enhancing and expanding the evaluation activities
currently under way; and enhancing website capacities for improved
information dissemination.
Program Name: National Limb Loss Resource Center.
Recipient: The Amputee Coalition of America, Inc.
Period of Performance: The supplement award will be issued for the
fourth year of the five-year project period of April 1, 2019, through
March 29, 2024.
[[Page 34691]]
Total Supplement Award Amount: $490,698 in FY 2022.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement Supplement.
Statutory Authority: This program is authorized under Section 317
of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247(b-4)); Consolidated and
Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235 (Dec.
16, 2014).
Basis for Award: The Amputee Coalition of America, Inc. is
currently funded to carry out the objectives of this program, entitled
The National Limb Loss Resource Center for the period of April 1, 2019,
through March 29, 2024. Almost 2 million Americans have experienced
amputations or were born with limb difference and another 28 million
people in our country are at risk for amputation. The supplement will
enable the grantee to carry their work even further, serving more
people living with limb loss and/or limb differences and providing even
more comprehensive training and technical assistance in the development
of long-term supportive services. The additional funding will not be
used to begin new projects or activities. The NLLRC will enhance and
expand currently funded activities such as conducting national outreach
for the development and dissemination of patient education materials,
programs, and services; providing technical support and assistance to
community based limb loss support groups; and raising awareness about
the limb loss and limb differences communities.
Establishing an entirely new grant project at this time would be
potentially disruptive to the current work already well under way. More
importantly, the people living with limb loss and limb differences
currently being served by this program could be negatively impacted by
a service disruption, thus posing the risk of not being able to find
the right resources that could negatively impact on health and
wellbeing. If this supplement were not provided, the project would be
less able to address the significant unmet needs of additional limb
loss survivors. Similarly, the project would be unable to expand its
current technical assistance and training efforts in NLLRC concepts and
approaches, let alone reach beyond traditional providers of services to
this population to train more ``mainstream'' providers of disability
services.
