Pre-solicitation Notice of Funding Opportunity of Student Mental Health Services and Supports in Institutions of Higher Education.

National Council on Disability Pre-Solicitation Notice of Funding Opportunity An Examination of Student Mental Health Services and Supports in Institutions of Higher Education:
Weaknesses, Strengths, Emerging Trends, and Recommendations for Reform The National Council on Disability (NCD) will seek


proposals for a report which examines mental health services in institutions of higher education.

The findings in this report primarily serve to assist policymakers, including the White House and Congress, with insight needed to make policy decisions designed to improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities.

The report also provides students with mental health disabilities and those who support them, with an understanding of policy, legislation, and initiatives that impact their lives.

The report will examine and assess the current status of college mental health services and policies and will make recommendations for reform to address the needs of students with mental health disabilities.

The report should support that mental health services and supports in the post-secondary setting are crucial to the academic success and retention of students with mental health disabilities.

Thus, this research will examine policy and physical barriers preventing students from accessing services, gaps and weaknesses in existing services, and policies that discriminate against students with mental health disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

The report will also identify promising practices and emerging trends in mental health services that may improve outcomes for students with mental health disabilities, and determine what policy changes are needed so that students with such disabilities fully benefit from mental health services in the post-secondary setting.

The estimated contract period is 12 months.
