CFDA 84.240: Program of Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights

Objectives

To provide grants for States, and to the eligible system serving the American Indian Consortium when sufficient funds are appropriated for the program in accordance with section 509(c)(1)(B) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act), to support protection and advocacy systems to protect the legal and human rights of individuals with disabilities who are ineligible for services from the other protection and advocacy programs or whose problems fall outside the scope of services available from the Client Assistance Program (CAP). This program is subject to a statutory non-supplanting requirement and, therefore, must use a restricted indirect cost rate in accordance with 34 CFR 76.563 through 76.569. For assistance with questions related to the restricted indirect cost rate, email the Indirect Cost Division at [email protected].

Eligible applicants

Only designated protection and advocacy agencies in each State and Territory, and the protection and advocacy system serving the American Indian Consortium, may apply. Except for the protection and advocacy system serving the American Indian Consortium, the Governor designates the protection and advocacy agency in each State.

Financial assistance range

For FY 2024, the estimated range of State awards (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) under the distribution formula is $195,895 to $1,956,791, with a median award of $219,408. The estimated award for each of the four outlying areas (i.e., American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) is $97,947.
