Combating Autism Act Initiative: National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center Program
Page 2The program aims to achieve its objectives by providing technical assistance to the network of interdisciplinary training programs in neurodevelopmental and related disabilities programs.
In addition, the program also intends to thoroughly train professionals in the process of utilizing valid and reliable screening tools in order to diagnose or rule out and provide evidence-based interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities.
Unlike any other grant programs, the HRSA will enter into a cooperative agreement with a worthy and eligible applicant where there will be a substantial involvement between the agency and the recipient, all for the successful completion of the program initiatives.
To support these initiatives, the Health Resources and Services Administration is ready to administer funds in the amount of $777,141.
The institutions and organizations who will be deemed eligible to submit an application under this program are nonprofit agencies and organizations, as well as public and private institutions of higher education.
With this, the HRSA requires the applicants to have substantial experience and expertise in the following areas:
a) interdisciplinary training;
b) provision of technical assistance to grantees, such as LEND grantees;
and
c) substantial knowledge of developmental disabilities such as autism.
The Department of Health and Human Services, the mother agency funding this program, is the nation's leading agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing fundamental human services to all.
