What are Expanded Impact Grants?
- Expanded Impact grants are previously awarded Quality of Life programs and/or projects supported by evidence that demonstrate a statistically, measurable, significant effect or impact on improving the quality of life outcomes for people living with paralysis, their families, and caretakers.
- Expanded Impact grants are expected to scale programs and/or projects that have prior evidence of effectiveness and positive results, in order to improve outcomes for people living with paralysis, their families, and caregivers.

- Expanded Impact grants will have sizeable and significant impact.
Prior grantees are encouraged to replicate and implement their programs and/or projects in new and additional settings, including at a larger local or national level.
