Opportunity Information: Apply for ICAP ICAP 22 001
The Interventional Cooperative Agreement Program (ICAP) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Social Security Administration (SSA) that supports hands-on, intervention-focused research designed to improve employment outcomes and long-term self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. The central idea behind ICAP is partnership: SSA works in a cooperative agreement structure with states, private foundations, and other non-federal entities that not only have the capacity to run real-world interventions, but are also willing to share in the effort by partially funding the work. Rather than funding purely academic or observational studies, ICAP is oriented toward practical interventions that can be tested, refined, and potentially scaled if they demonstrate benefits for participants and improvements in how related programs operate.
A major emphasis of the program is equity and access, with explicit attention to people of color and other underserved communities. The target population includes individuals who are current beneficiaries, applicants, or even potential applicants of Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). In practice, this means projects can focus on reducing barriers that keep eligible people from receiving support, improving the experience and success rate of navigating claims and appeals, and strengthening connections between disability benefits and pathways to employment. The opportunity statement highlights several priority directions: coordinating planning between private and public human services agencies to improve the administration and effectiveness of DI, SSI, and related programs; helping claimants in underserved communities apply for DI/SSI or appeal adverse decisions; and conducting outreach to children with disabilities who may be eligible for SSI but are not yet enrolled or connected to the program.
ICAP is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by SSA during the project period compared with a standard grant. Applicants should generally expect an active partnership model where SSA may collaborate on key elements such as project design considerations, performance and evaluation expectations, and alignment with program goals. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the program is listed under CFDA number 96.007, which signals its connection to Social Security-related research and demonstration activities.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes state, county, and local governments (including special districts and independent school districts), public and private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including entities other than small businesses), and small businesses. This wide eligibility reflects the program's interest in multi-sector partnerships and the reality that effective interventions for disability employment, benefits navigation, and outreach often require coordinated networks across government agencies, schools, community-based organizations, service providers, and research or evaluation partners.
For the specific opportunity details provided, the funding opportunity title is "Interventional Cooperative Agreement Program," with opportunity number "ICAP ICAP 22 001." SSA anticipated making about two awards, with an award ceiling of $300,000. The posting indicates an original estimated closing date of September 15, 2022, with a note that the deadline could be updated once the full announcement was posted. The opportunity was created on July 13, 2022. Taken together, these details describe a relatively small, competitive funding round intended to support a limited number of intervention projects that can produce actionable evidence about what improves employment and self-sufficiency for people with disabilities, strengthens DI/SSI administration and service coordination, and expands effective outreach and access, particularly for underserved communities.Apply for ICAP ICAP 22 001
