Opportunity Information: Apply for HU0001 18 USU 0002
The Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program (WWSDP) - Round 2 is a competitive federal grant opportunity run by the Department of Defense through the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU). The program is part of the Defense Health Program under Operations and Maintenance funding and is focused on supporting therapeutic service dog training efforts that ultimately connect trained service dogs with service members and veterans. Congress initially funded the effort in FY2015 with $1,000,000, and the program was continued and expanded in subsequent years, with USU obligating $1,000,000 in FY2015, $5,000,000 in FY2016, and $5,000,000 in FY2017 to carry out related grant awards. For FY2018, USU signaled its intent to keep the program moving by issuing multiple grants with 12-month periods of performance, depending on the availability of appropriated funds.
USU has legal authority to make these awards under 10 U.S.C. 2113(g)(1)(A), which allows it to provide grants to nonprofit entities. In practice, USU has historically sought applications from established nonprofit organizations that specialize in or are strongly committed to pairing service dogs with military-affiliated populations, particularly wounded warriors, service members, and veterans who may benefit from therapeutic service dog support. The opportunity is discretionary, uses the grant funding instrument, and is categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification, reflecting that it does not fall neatly into a single standard program area label but is clearly centered on therapeutic service dog training and placement-related activities.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 12.750 and was posted with an opening/creation date of July 10, 2018, and an original application deadline of August 10, 2018. USU anticipated making around eight awards. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically means the announcement did not specify a maximum award amount in that field, rather than implying that no funding would be provided. Overall, the grant competition is designed to sustain and expand nonprofit capacity to train and provide therapeutic service dogs in support of the health and well-being of service members and veterans during the FY2018 performance year.Apply for HU0001 18 USU 0002
