Federal Grant Delays Threaten Disability Research Institutions and Services
Federal agencies have delayed issuing grants to disability research institutions nationwide, creating uncertainty about program continuity and employment. The delays affect research centers that study and support services for people with disabilities, including those enrolled in Medicaid long-term services and supports. No timeline has been provided for when grant awards will resume. The disruption threatens institutional stability and could interrupt data collection and technical assistance that state Medicaid programs rely on for LTSS policy development.
Grant-funded disability research centers provide technical assistance and evidence that state Medicaid agencies use to design and evaluate LTSS programs, home and community-based services waivers, and managed LTSS contracts.
