Administration for Community Living 

Announcing the Intent To Award a 

Single-Source Supplement for 

University Center for Excellence in 

Developmental Disabilities Core 

Function Activities 

AGENCY: Administration for Community 

Living, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Community Living (ACL) announces the 

intent to award a single-source 

supplement to the current grant held by 

the Oregon Health and Science 

University Center for Excellence in 

Developmental Disabilities. The 

purpose of this supplemental funding is 

to support one or more core function 

activities to address the needs of and 

provide support for individuals with 

intellectual and developmental 

disabilities (I/DD) who use 

Augmentative and Alternative 

Communication (AAC) or could benefit 

from AAC to ensure access to needed 

community services, individualized 

supports, and other forms of assistance 

that promote self-determination, 

independence, productivity, and 

integration and inclusion in all facets of 

community life. The administrative 

supplement for fiscal year 2024 will 

amount to $270,000. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information or comments 

regarding this program supplement, 

contact Pamela O’Brien, U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, Administration for 

Community Living, Administration on 

Disabilities, (202) 795–7417 or via email 

Pamela.OBrien@acl.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplementary funding will expand the 

engagement and technical assistance 

efforts around supporting people who 

use AAC devices to live well in the 

community. It will increase the capacity 

of the Oregon Health and Science 

University for Excellence in 

Developmental Disabilities (OHSU 

UCEDD) to broaden its reach and 

increase its impact by carrying out 

activities that address the needs of an 

unserved/underserved population— 

people with I/DD who use AAC or could 

benefit from AAC. 

As a result of this funding, ACL 

expects the OHSU UCEDD will carry out 

one or more of the four core functions 

activities, which could include but are 

not limited to: 

• Interdisciplinary Training: Training 

of future practitioners about the benefits 

of AAC and how to support access to 

AAC. 

• Community Service: Supporting a 

community of AAC users for peer-topeer networking, support, and exchange 

of ideas for addressing barriers to 

accessing AAC. 

• Research: Conducting research such 

as research on the benefits of peer 

connections amongst AAC users. 

• Information Dissemination: 

Developing and disseminating materials 

to assist others in accessing AAC and 

sharing findings from research with the 

UCEDD network and DD Community. 

This supplement will fund enhanced 

efforts related to developing a network 

of AAC users to connect them where 

they otherwise would not be able to 

connect with each other. 

Program Name: University Center for 

Excellence in Developmental 

Disabilities Education, Research and 

Service. 

Recipient: Oregon Health and Science 

University Center for Excellence in 

Developmental Disabilities. 

Period of Performance: The 

supplement award will be issued from 

September 30, 2024, through September 

29, 2025. 

Total Supplement Award Amount: 

$270,000. 

Award Type: Grant. 

Statutory Authority: This program is 

authorized under 42 U.S.C 15062(d). 

Basis for Award: Due to the low 

incidence of communication disabilities 

associated with the use of AAC, there 

are very few experts in this specialty 

area. OHSU is a designated UCEDD with 

extensive expertise and experience in 

AAC. The UCEDD has conducted 

research and led teams on development 

of assistive technology, intervention 

planning, AAC peer support models, 

and assessment protocols for both 

children and adults. The UCEDD 

completed several AAC externally 

funded innovative projects that 

addressed public health, device 

development and evaluation, and 

interventions for young children. The 

UCEDD is currently developing a 

network of AAC users to connect them 

where they otherwise would not be able 

to connect with each other. The 

supplemental funding will leverage the 

experience and expertise of the OHSU 

UCEDD to focus on this unserved/ 

underserved population and strengthen 

the UCEDD’s work in this area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Evaluation of the Maternal and Child 

Health Bureau Pediatric Mental Health 

Care Access Program and the Screening 

and Treatment for Maternal Mental 

Health and Substance Use Disorders 

Program, OMB No. 0906–xxxx—New. 

Abstract: This notice describes 

information collection requests for two 

of HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health 

Bureau programs: the Pediatric Mental 

Health Care Access (PMHCA) program 

and the Screening and Treatment for 

Maternal Mental Health and Substance 

Use Disorders (MMHSUD) program. The 

PMHCA program aims to promote 

behavioral health integration into 

pediatric primary care by developing 

and supporting state, regional, and tribal 

pediatric mental health care 

teleconsultation access programs. The 

MMHSUD program aims to support 

maternity care providers and clinical 

practices by supporting the 

development, improvement, and/or 

maintenance of statewide or regional 

behavioral health networks. Both 

programs support health professionals 

(HPs) 1 in their delivery of high-quality 

and timely screening, assessment, 

treatment, and referrals for their targeted 

populations (e.g., children, adolescents, 

and young adults for PMHCA programs; 

pregnant and postpartum people for 

MMHSUD programs) through the 

provision of clinical behavioral health 

teleconsultation, care coordination 

support/navigation (i.e., resource 

identification and referrals), and 

training and education. Additionally, 

the PMHCA and MMHSUD programs 

focus on reducing racial, ethnic, and 

geographic disparities in access to care, 

especially in rural and other 

underserved areas. 

The information will be collected 

from PMHCA and MMHSUD award 

recipient programs funded in 2021, 

2022, or 2023 and from participants in 

and stakeholders of those programs: 

• The 2021 and 2022 PMHCA 

programs are authorized by 42 U.S.C. 

254c–19 (sec. 330M of the Public Health 

Service Act), using funding provided by 

Section 2712 of the American Rescue 

Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2). 

• The 2023 PMHCA programs are 

authorized by 42 U.S.C. 254c–19 (sec. 

330M of the Public Health Service Act), 

as amended by Section 11005 of the 

Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (Pub. 

L. 117–159). 

• The 2023 MMHSUD programs are 

authorized by 42 U.S.C. 247b–13a (sec. 

317L–1 of the Public Health Service 

Act). 

To evaluate progress made toward the 

programs’ goals, this data collection will 

use the following eight instruments: (1) 

HP Survey, (2) Practice-Level Survey, 

(3) Program Implementation Survey, (4) 

Behavioral Health Consultation Provider 

Semi-Structured Interview (SSI), (5) 

Care Coordinator SSI, (6) Champion SSI, 

(7) Community-Based and Other 

Resources SSI, and (8) Program 

Implementation SSI. 

A 60-day notice was published in the 

Federal Register on May 28, 2024, 89 

FR 46143–44. HRSA received two 

public comments, which included 13 

recommendations. All 

recommendations were considered, as 

detailed below, and no changes were 

made to the current information 

collection described in this notice as a 

result of the recommendations. 

Two recommendations focused on 

defining terms. One recommended use 

of the term ‘‘mental and behavioral 

health’’ in place of ‘‘behavioral health’’ 

and ‘‘infant, child, and adolescent’’ in 

place of ‘‘child and adolescent’’ in any 

survey language. HRSA selected 

‘‘behavioral health’’ as the most concise 

and accepted term after consideration of 

definitions from national associations, 

federal agencies, and experts in the 

field. HRSA noted that the ‘‘child and 

adolescent’’ terminology is not used in 

the surveys for the HRSA evaluation of 

the PMHCA and MMHSUD programs. 

Another recommended that HRSA 

define PMHCA program training 

activities. In the Notices of Funding 

Opportunity that awardees responded 

to, HRSA describes various modalities/ 

formats for training (e.g., Project 

Extension for Community Health Care 

Outcomes, Resource for Advancing 

Children’s Health, learning 

collaboratives, in person, synchronous, 

asynchronous) as well as potential 

topics for training (e.g., psychiatric 

disorders and medications, screening 

and treatment protocols, practice 

transformation processes, traumainformed care). Reflective of trainingrelated program requirements, HRSA 

will collect data on the number of 

trainings attended by HPs, modality for 

training received, the number of 

providers trained, the number of 

trainings by topic, training methods, 

and materials used. Training is defined 

in the surveys using the survey question 

response options (e.g., in-person 

training event, webinar, self-study with 

program resources, video conferencing, 

learning collaborative [Project Extension
