UCEDD National Training Initiative to Support people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities with Co-Occurring Mental or Behavioral Health Disabilities

The Administration on Disabilities (AoD), Administration for Community Living (ACL) will award up to five competitive, five-year National Training Initiative (NTI) grants to existing University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service (UCEDDs). This opportunity will pay for the federal share of grants to UCEDDs to convene multi-disciplinary teams of intellectual and developmental disability state agency personnel and mental and behavioral health state agency personnel with the goal of developing and implementing a shared training infrastructure tailored to the state’s needs, combined with improving coordination between the two agencies in collaboration with other key partners around the services they jointly provide to people with co-occurring mental health and intellectual and developmental disabilities.
