between aging and disability networks to better support individuals
with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their
family caregivers in future planning as they age. The supplemental

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the supplemental funding is
to additionally support aging caregivers of adults with I/DD and will
enhance the work of the 17 State Consortia teams. A portion of the
funding (estimated 50%) will be used to pay for existing workplan
activities of the grantee, particularly where there is overlap in the
existing work to bridge the aging and disability networks to support
aging caregivers of adults with I/DD. The remainder of the funding
(estimated to be 50%) will be used to enhance the work of the 17 State
Consortia teams to more directly build capacity of AAAs to serve adults
with I/DD as they age and their aging caregivers.
Program Name: Bridging Aging and Disabilities Networks.
Recipient: NACDD.
Period of Performance: The supplement award will be issued for the
fourth year of a five-year project period, September 30, 2024, through
September 29, 2025.
Award Amount: $180,478.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement.
Statutory Authority: This program is authorized under the
Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000,
Title I, Subtitle E.
CFDA Number: 93.631 Discretionary Projects.
Basis for Award: NACDD is currently funded to carry out the
objectives of this project, Bridging Aging and Disability Networks, and
has completed three years of work. ACL believes it is in the best
interest of the Federal Government to supplement the current grantee's
existing project. Establishing a new grant project at this time would
be potentially disruptive to the current work already well under way.
Further, it could create unintended duplication of effort and missed
opportunities for greater coordination between the aging and disability
networks.
Dated: September 16, 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.
