Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOD ISTA 0229
The Statewide Independent Living Council Training and Technical Assistance (SILC TTA) Center grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is designed to fund a single national center that acts as a hub of practical support for Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs). In plain terms, the goal is to strengthen how SILCs operate by giving them consistent guidance, targeted training, and easy access to reliable tools and information so they can carry out their required duties more effectively.
A major focus of the SILC TTA Center is hands-on technical assistance and training that improves SILC efficiency and effectiveness. That includes helping councils understand and perform their core responsibilities, resolve common operational challenges, and improve day-to-day functioning. The center is also expected to provide standardized, expert information and connect SILCs to resources that help members and boards maintain competency in fundamentals such as governance expectations, member roles, board duties, and broader independent living-related knowledge. This emphasis on standardized information suggests the center is meant to reduce confusion and inconsistency across states by offering clear, credible guidance that SILCs can rely on.
Another key component is building stronger communication pathways among SILCs nationwide. The opportunity calls for the center to facilitate peer-to-peer learning on a national level, meaning it should create structured ways for councils to share successful practices, compare approaches, and learn from each other rather than operating in isolation. Alongside that networking role, the center must continuously assess SILC needs and special capabilities, then evaluate whether the center's services are actually meeting those needs. This points to an ongoing feedback and improvement cycle where the center gathers input, identifies emerging gaps, and adjusts technical assistance strategies accordingly.
The opportunity also places importance on technology and public-facing resources by requiring the development and maintenance of a state-of-the-art SILC website. That website is intended to serve as a central, up-to-date platform where SILCs can find resources, training materials, and other supports, reinforcing the center's role as a national clearinghouse for information and assistance.
