RSA administers and supports a comprehensive array of formula and discretionary grant programs and projects that serve and assist individuals with disabilities. Please find out more about those programs and projects below.
Formula grants are allocations of money to states or their subdivisions in accordance with a distribution formula prescribed by law or administrative regulation for activities of a continuing nature not confined to a specific project.
Unlike a formula grant, a discretionary grant awards funds on the basis of a competitive process. RSA reviews applications in light of the legislative and regulatory requirements established for a program. This review process gives RSA discretion to determine which applications best address the program requirements and are, therefore, most worthy of funding.
