Eligible applicants are restricted to state programs funded through the State Assistive Technology Act, including implementing agencies and agencies subcontracted for Assistive Technology activities.

Launched in 2015 in partnership with ACL, the National Paralysis Resource Center's HIIAT grant program is a competitive grant program that awards a small number of one-year grants of up to $75,000. These additional grant funds will help state programs expand their reach in the field of assistive technology through new innovations that will impact people living with paralysis in their homes and communities. Funding for this new cycle of grants was made possible through a cooperative agreement with the Administration for Community Living.

Awarded grant funds support innovative programs or services that:

  *   Target a specific, well-defined underserved population within the broader disability community in their state;
  *   Through assistive technology devices or services, increase access to services, increase the independence or inclusion of people within the underserved population within their communities; and
  *   When complete, will have a demonstrable, direct impact on people affected by the project.

Applications are due September 15.

Join the Application Technical Assistance Webinar on July 20.

Previously funded organizations are eligible to apply, however past grantees must submit proposals for new and innovative projects. Past grantees must also be in good standing, having successfully closed out past grant awards with a final report outlining accomplishments and fully expending grant funds awarded.
