About this opportunity

Notice of Funding Opportunity for a Cooperative Agreement (Not a Grant)Proposal Submission Deadline: 5:00 (submitter’s local time), August 21, 2020. Late applications will not be considered.Please visit www.ncd.gov for the full solicitation with complete requirements for submitting proposals for this funding opportunity.Project Summary The National Council on Disability (NCD) seeks proposals for a cooperative agreement to develop NCD’s annual progress report which will examine COVID-19’s broadscale impacts on the lives of people with disabilities in seven major areas: nondiscriminatory access to healthcare; the direct care workforce; group housing; education; employment; mental health; and communications. The report will also include a discussion of the intersection of disability and race, and of transportation impacts. The research and findings in this report will provide policymakers, including the White House and Congress, and federal agencies, with insight needed to make policy decisions to improve the current and future welfare of people with disabilities in a national emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic. The report will also provide people with disabilities information on federal initiatives related to emergency preparedness and response. Background and Statement of Work In 2020, the deadly COVID-19 virus swept across the having a significant, negative impact on almost every aspect of the lives of people with disabilities. By mid-March, most schools and businesses had closed, transportation was limited, and stay-at-home orders were widely in place as the nation attempted to contain the virus’ spread. By July, over 140,000 people in the had died from the virus, a large portion were people with disabilities, many of whom were compromised due to pre-existing medical conditions and many of whom lived in congregate settings like nursing homes and in group homes. For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in group homes, the effects have been devastating – resulting from higher susceptibility and higher deaths from the virus. COVID-19 has severely limited the ability of people with disabilities to obtain necessary services and supports to live independently, to work, to study, and to access medical care on par with non-disabled people. While natural disasters, like hurricanes Katrina and Maria, revealed the lack of a federal emergency preparedness and response plan that included evacuation and accessible sheltering for people disabilities, COVID-19 has revealed weaknesses in nearly every government and social system supporting the safety of people with disabilities. These weaknesses must be the impetus for energetic planning, and implementation of policies and practices that will ensure the needs of people with disabilities are met in future pandemics.NCD has determined seven areas of focus for the development of this report: Nondiscriminatory Access to HealthcareThe pandemic struck the just months after NCD published a report series on bioethics and disability which described the discrimination that people with disabilities experience in healthcare and related services influenced by the prevalent and widespread belief by the medical profession that the life of a person with a disability has less value than the life of a non-disabled person. The more significant the disability, the more this comes into play, and the more it endangers disabled lives. The medical profession’s devaluation of disabled lives, gone largely unchecked, has resulted in historic and continuing discrimination against people disabilities as physicians and policymakers allow non-medical considerations to seep into medical decisions and healthcare policies that result in denying necessary care.The report findings were quickly validated in the early days of the pandemic. Numerous news outlets, highlighted physicians and ethicists explaining that nondiscriminatory access to healthcare was at risk.
