Opportunity Information: Apply for NCD18 01
This funding opportunity from the National Council on Disability (NCD) supports the development of NCD's 2018 Progress Report examining how well the federal government is enforcing disability civil rights laws and whether the "promise" of those laws is being fulfilled. The project is framed as a follow-up to NCD's landmark 2000 report, Promises to Keep, and is meant to measure what has changed in the roughly 15-plus years since that earlier assessment. With the disability community having marked major milestones like the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 2015, NCD is using this progress report series to take a fresh, evidence-based look at whether federal oversight and enforcement has strengthened, stayed stagnant, or weakened, and what practical improvements are still needed.
The core work funded under this 2018 report is a focused review of the monitoring and enforcement activities of three federal agencies that are responsible for implementing and enforcing disability civil rights protections. A separate, later funding opportunity will cover the next year's report, which will review three additional agencies, making this a multi-year series intended to build a broader picture across the federal enforcement landscape. The 2018 report is not just descriptive; it is meant to evaluate agency performance, identify gaps, and deliver recommendations designed to improve enforcement and monitoring capacity. A key emphasis is determining whether NCD's earlier recommendations from the 2000 Promises to Keep report were actually implemented and, if they were, whether they led to meaningful, measurable improvements for people with disabilities.
A notable feature of the 2018 effort is that it expands the set of agencies under consideration by adding the U.S. Department of Labor, which was not included in the 2000 report. NCD highlights Labor's critical role in disability-related employment issues, signaling that the report is expected to take seriously how civil rights enforcement intersects with workforce participation, workplace protections, and related compliance structures. Overall, the project is positioned as an accountability exercise: it looks at what agencies are doing, how effectively they are doing it, and what needs to change to ensure disability civil rights laws are enforced consistently and robustly.
The deliverable is expected to be concise and accessible, capped at 100 pages, and should rely on clear presentation of evidence, including data tables and other accessible media formats to show progress (or lack of progress) in a way that can be understood by policymakers, advocates, and the public. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NCD expects substantial involvement and coordination during the project rather than a fully hands-off grant. The opportunity is discretionary, open to unrestricted eligible applicants, and NCD anticipates making a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $150,000. The opportunity number is NCD18 01 under CFDA 92.002, with an original application closing date of August 7, 2017, and it was posted on July 3, 2017.
In practical terms, an applicant would be proposing a research-and-reporting project that collects and synthesizes enforcement and monitoring information, compares current practices and outcomes against the commitments and recommendations laid out in the 2000 report, and translates that analysis into actionable recommendations. The final report must be tightly written, data-driven, and designed for accessibility, with the broader purpose of helping NCD and stakeholders judge whether federal enforcement of disability civil rights laws is meeting its obligations and what concrete steps could strengthen those systems going forward.Apply for NCD18 01
