Paralysis Resource Center
Summary: The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is proud to
announce the Paralysis Resource Center
(PRC) is moving to ACL as a result of the
2014 budget recently signed by
President Obama.
ACL was formed in April 2012 to
advance policy and implement
programs that support the rights of older
Americans and people with disabilities
to live in their communities throughout
their lifespan. The mission of the PRC
aligns perfectly with ACL’s mission and
provides the Administration with
important new programmatic
opportunities to help persons with
physical disabilities as well as older
adults and people with developmental
disabilities.
The PRC provides a comprehensive,
national source of information for
people living with paralysis and their
families to promote health, foster

involvement in the community, and
improve quality of life. Resources on
spinal cord injury, paralysis and
mobility-related disabilities, including
information and referral by phone and
email are available in English and
Spanish. The PRC currently operates
through a cooperative agreement
between the Christopher & Dana Reeve
Foundation and the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). ACL will be working
with the CDC on transitioning the
program to ACL.
Program Name: Paralysis Resource
Center.
Award Amount: Up to $6,683,000.
Project Period: 6/1/2014 to 5/31/2015.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement.
The purpose of the program is to
provide funding to support a 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. The Paralysis Resource Center
will work to remove environmental
barriers to health for individuals living
with paralysis and expand the
knowledge base of proven, successful
health promotion strategies leading to
improved physical and emotional health
for this population, improving the
understanding of the true burden of
paralysis by disease category, injury,
and quality of life indicators and to
measure secondary complications, and
conducting evaluation projects to
translate clinical rehabilitation treadmill
therapy to community-based settings
and training health care professionals to
deliver this intervention. This program
addresses the ‘‘Healthy People 2020’’
focus area(s): Access to Health Services;
Adolescent Health; Disability and
Health; Early and Middle Childhood;
Educational and Community-Based
Programs; Health Communication and
Health IT; Healthcare-Associated
Infections; Nutrition and Weight Status;

Justification for the Exception to
Competition
The PRC currently operates through a
cooperative agreement between the
Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation
and the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
To ensure uninterrupted continuation of
the grant goals and objectives and given
the administrative burden of holding an
open competition and awarding a new
grant given the short time since the
funds were appropriated, ACL will
award a one year continuation to the
incumbent Paralysis Resource Center at
the Christopher & Dana Reeve
Foundation. Failure to move forward
with this deviation would disrupt ACL’s
ability to improve and advance the PRC
program as one cohesive and consistent
program nationally.
• Eligible Applicants: Incumbent
Paralysis Resource Center with award
expiration date of 5/31/14.
II. Evaluation Criteria
Information previously provided in
semi-annual reports, as well as
information in the non-competing
extension application will be
considered to determine satisfactory
progress of the grantee project and
ensure that proposed activities are
within the approved scope and budget
of the grant. Areas that will be evaluated
include:
A. Project Relevance & Current Need.
