President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PCPID)

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living operates the President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PCPID), Assistance Listing 93.613, an advisory committee that provides counsel to the President and the Secretary of Health and Human Services on policy matters affecting people with intellectual disabilities.

PCPID is not a grant-funding program. The Assistance Listing describes an advisory function only — the committee provides advice and recommendations on a broad range of topics relating to people with intellectual disabilities, and does not disburse grants, cooperative agreements, or other direct financial assistance to applicants or recipients. The program is governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C., Appendix) and operates under Executive Order authority; it has been continued every two years by Presidential Executive Order, most recently by Executive Order 13652 in 2015.

Organizations pursuing federal grant funding for intellectual disability services, research, training, or community inclusion programs should not target this Assistance Listing. Prospective applicants should identify funding opportunities under other HHS programs — such as those operated by the National Institutes of Health, the Administration for Community Living's direct-service and infrastructure funding lines, or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — that explicitly support project grants, cooperative agreements, or formula allocations for substantive work in the intellectual disability field.
