AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.
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 Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The
National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) is operated by the
Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and offers important programmatic
opportunities for persons with disabilities and older adults. The NPRC
provides comprehensive information for people living with spinal cord
injury, paralysis, and mobility-related disabilities and their
families. Resources include information and referral by phone and email
in multiple languages; a peer and family support mentoring program; a
military and veterans' program; multicultural outreach services;
multiple quality of life grants; and a national website. The
administrative supplement for FY 2024 will be in the amount of
$1,300,000, bringing the total award for FY 2024 to $10,000,000.
DATES: The supplement award will be issued to extend the project period
to August 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the supplemental funding is
to support the expansion the National Paralysis Resource Center to
improve the health and quality of life of individuals living with
paralysis and their families by raising awareness of and facilitating
access to a broad range of services relevant to individuals with
paralysis. With the additional funding, the NPRC will work to expand
the National Resource and Information Center; increase the health and
quality of life of Americans with disabilities living with paralysis;
increase support and resources to people with paralysis, their families
and caregivers; expand collaboration with federal agencies and other
national organizations that have a vested interested in the paralysis
community; and strengthen performance measures.
Program Name: National Paralysis Resource Center.
Recipient: Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
Period of Performance: The supplement award will be issued for the
current project period, July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
Award Amount: $1,300,000.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement.
Basis for Award: The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is
currently funded to carry out the National Paralysis Resource Center
(NPRC) for the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. As a
result of the 2024 budget, Congress appropriated additional funds for
the expansion of the NPRC. It would be unnecessarily time consuming and
disruptive to the NPRC project and the beneficiaries being served for
the ACL to establish a new grantee at this time when critical services
are presently being provided in an efficient manner.
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, 2016, Public Law 114-113 (Dec.
18, 2015).
Dated: July 10, 2024.
Alison Barkoff,
Principal Deputy Administrator for the Administration for Community
Living, performing the delegable duties of the Administrator and the
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
