What the grant funds

All activities funded under this grant will promote greater independence, equality, choice, and control for individuals living with paralysis and to help them more fully integrate into their communities. The award ceiling is $8,700,000, the award funding is $8,700,000 and the award floor is $8,700,000. The award date will be on or around July 1, 2021.
