Federal Grant Award Summary

The University of Iowa received a Formula Grant award of $680,049 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living under the ACL Assistive Technology program (CFDA 93.464), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award supports the university's statewide initiatives to improve access to assistive technology devices and services for individuals with disabilities of all ages in Iowa. Under this formula grant, the university will deliver comprehensive assistive technology assistance including device demonstrations, technology loan programs, and financial counseling services designed to enhance the provision of assistive technology resources across the state.

As the designated recipient and administrative entity for this award, the University of Iowa will serve individuals with disabilities, state agencies, and community-based organizations throughout Iowa while maintaining compliance with program regulations and ACL oversight requirements. The formula grant allocation reflects Iowa's proportional share of federal assistive technology funding distributed annually to all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and outlying areas to strengthen state-level assistive technology infrastructure and service delivery capacity.
