Grant Overview
Tennessee eligibility criteria for this funding emphasize nonprofit status under 501(c)(3) and prior experience delivering services within the state’s three Grand Divisions. The Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities requires that applicants maintain active contracts or memoranda with at least one regional office of the Tennessee Early Intervention System. Small businesses and individuals remain ineligible, consistent with federal guidance.
Application realities include submission through the state’s grants management portal, which mandates alignment with Tennessee’s Medicaid waiver for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Budgets must separate art and music therapy line items because these fall outside standard rehabilitative therapy codes reimbursed by TennCare. Programs must also secure clearances from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for all staff working directly with minors.
Fit assessment for Tennessee shows strongest alignment when proposals target the 23 counties designated as mental health professional shortage areas by the Health Resources and Services Administration. These counties overlap with high rates of autism identification in the Department of Education’s annual child find report. Applicants that demonstrate existing referral pathways from the three state psychiatric hospitals for children increase scoring weight under the state’s competitive review.
Unlike Kentucky or Arkansas applications, Tennessee requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation and the separate East, Middle, and West Tennessee Medicaid regional offices. Proposals must therefore include letters from each region’s managed-care organization confirming willingness to accept art and music therapy progress notes for service authorization.
