Center for Independent Living (CIL) Program Performance Report (PPR)

Reporting Requirements for CDC Funding
Guidance for Administration on Disabilities Grantees
The Administration for Community Living (ACL), with funding and partnership support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
awarded grants to disability networks to provide critical services to help communities combat COVID-19. A leading priority of this joint effort is to
ensure vaccines are equally accessible to individuals with the disabilities. As part of the agreement with CDC, ACL is required to collect annual
progress reports from the Protection and Advocacy Agencies (P&As), Centers for Independent Living (CILs), State Councils on Developmental
Disabilities (DDCs), and University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) on the activities conducted, challenges, successes,
and lessons learned. ACL is providing guidance on reporting requirements for the Administration on Disabilities grant programs that received CDC
funding.
Guidance:
Grantees will report on any of the service activities listed in the chart below that were implemented using the CDC funding from April 1, 2021 up
through September 30, 2022. All narrative sections (narrative, successes, challenges, and the questions 1 - 12) are limited to 500 words each.
AoD is developing the specific mechanisms you will use to submit your report on the CDC funded activities. More information will be provided when
we have it available. Until then, you should begin tracking now the activities being carried out through CDC funding using the guidance below as a
framework. Specific methods for reporting that data will be shared as soon as possible.

PHWF- Data reporting requirements
Award recipients will be required to submit annual progress reports in the form of a :
• written summary on the number of full-time equivalents (FTEs)

completing and reviewing the collection of information. The obligation to respond to this collection is required to obtain or retain benefits (P.L.
