Announcement of Disability and Health Secondary or Existing Data Analysis Awardees
The Association of University Centers on Disability (AUCD) through a partnership with The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2024 grants for the Disability and Health Secondary or Existing Data Analysis funding opportunity. These grants will support Massachusetts Department of Health, Utah State University, and Washington State University to conduct timely analyses of existing data to answer targeted research or policy questions related to disability and health.
Aging and Disability Vaccination Collaborative (ADVC) Project Update
Through a partnership with the USAging, AUCD worked to provide technical assistance to selected AUCD Network Centers to administer COVID-19 and flu vaccines to individuals and families through the You’ve Got This campaign. Led by USAging and funded by the U.S. Administration for Community Living, the Aging and Disability Vaccination Collaborative grants helped communities stay healthy by focusing on those who need vaccines most—older adults and people with disabilities, particularly those from historically marginalized and underserved communities in which vaccination rates are low. As of March 2024, the selected AUCD Network Centers administered over 1,700 COVID-19 and flu vaccinations at 129 events in six states.
