Opportunity Information: Apply for NCD 19 01
The National Council on Disability (NCD) announced an upcoming discretionary funding opportunity (NCD 19 01; CFDA 92.002) focused on producing a time-limited research report about accessible medical equipment and furniture and how its use affects healthcare access and outcomes for people with mobility disabilities. The core purpose is to generate practical evidence and analysis that federal policymakers and agencies, especially the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice, can use when shaping policy decisions aimed at improving health outcomes and healthcare accessibility. At the same time, the resulting report is intended to help clinicians, healthcare organizations, and patients better understand how existing policies, legislation, and healthcare initiatives influence real-world care experiences for people with mobility disabilities.
The work described centers on identifying and examining healthcare settings or systems that already make broad use of accessible medical equipment and furniture. Examples named include hospitals, preferred provider organizations or hospital-owned networks, and physician groups. The study is expected to gather both qualitative and quantitative information about the effects of accessible equipment on clinical settings and on patients, which can include operational impacts in clinics, patient experience and safety considerations, and measurable changes tied to access, quality, or outcomes where data are available. In addition to studying organizations with established use, the report will also take a closer look at two healthcare systems or hospitals that have recently launched initiatives to increase the availability of accessible medical equipment in provider offices, with the goal of understanding how these newer efforts are being implemented and what early impacts they may be producing.
Another specific component of the study is to seek information about cost savings associated with state safe patient handling laws. These laws generally relate to practices and equipment that reduce manual lifting and improve safety during patient transfers, which can affect workplace injury rates and potentially reduce costs for providers and states. NCD indicates the report will attempt to identify any savings achieved in states that have enacted such laws, linking this inquiry to broader discussions about equipment, safety, and system-level benefits.
The anticipated contract or performance period for the work is estimated at seven months, indicating a relatively fast turnaround and a deliverable-oriented effort rather than a multi-year research program. NCD stated it planned to release the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Accessible Medical Equipment Report on April 23, 2019, and expected interested parties to submit responses by May 21, 2019. The NOFO was to be made available through grants.gov and ncd.gov and could also be requested by mail on or after the NOFO release date. Eligible applicants are listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that would be included in the full NOFO.
The notice provided is explicitly labeled as a pre-solicitation for planning and informational purposes only. It emphasizes that it is not the NOFO itself, that it does not obligate the government to award a contract or fund any work, and that NCD was not accepting unsolicited proposals at the time of the announcement. It also clarifies that the U.S. Government would not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents in preparing information in response to this pre-solicitation. Interested parties were advised to monitor grants.gov and ncd.gov for updates and official instructions. The listed point of contact for more information is Ana Torres-Davis, Attorney-Advisor, at atorresdavis@ncd.gov, located at 1331 F Street, NW, Suite 850, Washington, D.C. 20004, phone 202-272-2004.Apply for NCD 19 01
