Grant Description: As the effective and visible advocate for older Americans and their concerns, the Administration on Aging (AoA) is committed to protecting seniors from elder mistreatment. AoA's elder rights programs protect seniors from known abuses to which older adults are often susceptible and assure the basic rights and benefits of vulnerable older people. Elder rights program activities conserve and extend personal resources, help avoid threats to financial security, and empower older Americans to make informed choices that enhance their ability to remain in the community. Through this program announcement, AoA plans to award three (3) cooperative agreements and one (1) grant, ranging from $75,000 - $300,000, to collaborate in the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA). One (1) contract will be awarded through a separate procurement to operate the website for the NCEA information clearinghouse and an email listserve for elder abuse prevention and related professionals. The NCEA, which will be directed by the AoA, will include five (5) awardees, and the total funding for their collaborative work in the NCEA will be $815,250 per year. There are four (4) options in this program announcement under which entities may apply for funding: Option I: Multi-Disciplinary Efforts (Cooperative Agreement) Option II: Training (Cooperative Agreement) Option III: NCEA Co-Manager (Cooperative Agreement) Option IV: NCEA Special Projects (Grant) Public and/or nonprofit agencies and organizations, including faith-based organizations and community-based organizations, as well as universities and other entities, are eligible to apply under this program announcement. An entity may apply for only one (1) Option as a primary applicant. To be considered for funding, applications will be reviewed and scored on how well the primary applicant demonstrates expert knowledge concerning elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation; demonstrates a history of expertise in the operation and organization of programs to detect, identify, assess, intervene in, investigate, or respond to elder mistreatment; and exhibits the requisite organizational capacity to carry out activities outlined in this program announcement on a national level. For each Option, the primary applicant must possess direct, in-house expertise to carry out the activities designated as primary for the Option. That is, the primary applicant may not rely on sub-grantees or contractors to fulfill those activities designated as primary under each Option. However, provision of funding for sub-grantees or subcontracts to carry out secondary activities is permissible with approval from AoA, if the primary applicant identifies a gap in expertise that is required to be filled from outside the organization in order to complete specific tasks. Grantees are required to match at least 25% of the total program costs from non-federal cash or in-kind resources. The full text of the program announcement includes a description of the application options, the priority areas, and all the instructions necessary to prepare and submit an application to compete for the National Center on Elder Abuse.
