Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOA ABRC 0213
The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL), focused on strengthening the nation’s capacity to prevent, identify, and respond to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. ACL lays out a set of core targets that define what the NCEA must do under statute, and applicants are expected to clearly explain how they will meet each target at a minimum, with the option to propose additional activities that expand on ACL’s baseline expectations. The award supports one national recipient (expected awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $1,000,000, and it is positioned as a national-level hub that connects research, practice, training, and technical assistance for professionals, policymakers, and the public.
A major emphasis of the grant is establishing and operating NCEA as a national authority and visible leader on elder abuse issues. In practice, this means running sustained public awareness and communications efforts, including a communications strategy that reaches the public, professionals, and policymakers at least quarterly. It also includes developing, refreshing, and distributing outreach materials tied to key awareness moments such as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. On the digital side, the grantee is responsible for maintaining and expanding the Elder Abuse Listserv and keeping the NCEA website content current. ACL notes that it will host the NCEA website platform, but the grantee will be responsible for ongoing content management, subject to ACL review and approval. Beyond communications, the leadership role also involves building and participating in national collaborations across public and private partners to improve coordination, track and interpret trends in the field, share knowledge, and leverage resources so that responses to elder abuse improve nationwide. Applications are expected to name a sample set of priority agencies and organizations to engage and to explain the criteria and methods for engagement, including how often collaboration and outreach activities will occur.
Another core requirement is to annually compile, publish, and disseminate a summary of recently conducted research on elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, as specified in statute. ACL expects the grantee to coordinate with other national elder justice programs so research gathering and synthesis is not duplicated across federally supported efforts. Research updates should also be reflected on the NCEA website, and dissemination should be designed to translate research into practical use, meaning the output should help professionals apply findings in real-world prevention and intervention settings rather than simply listing studies.
The opportunity also requires NCEA to function as an information clearinghouse for programs and initiatives (including private programs) that show promise in preventing, identifying, or treating elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This clearinghouse role is intended to help the field find and use promising practices and policies more easily. ACL again highlights coordination with other national elder abuse programs to reduce redundant work and streamline access. The grantee is expected to continually update the website with best practices and policy findings and to actively disseminate this information through vehicles such as newsletters, briefs, and webinars. As with the leadership and research functions, applicants must identify key target audiences and partner organizations and describe how they will decide what to include, how they will share it, and how frequently updates and outreach will occur.
Training is another central pillar of the NCEA vision under this award. The grantee must compile, publish, and disseminate training materials for personnel who are engaged in (or preparing to engage in) elder abuse prevention, identification, and treatment. ACL expects coordination with other national elder abuse programs to assemble curricula efficiently and avoid duplicating existing resources. The NCEA recipient is also expected to provide training to professionals on elder abuse and neglect topics, keep the website current with training materials and related findings, and proactively distribute these resources across the field.
Finally, the grant places heavy weight on providing technical assistance (TA) to state agencies as well as other public and nonprofit private agencies and organizations working on elder abuse issues. This includes TA that supports planning, program improvement, program development, and implementation related to abuse, neglect, and exploitation. ACL’s interpretation is broad: TA should be coordinated with other national programs to streamline access, and it should be available not only to agencies and professionals but also to elder abuse victims, family members, members of the public, and policymakers. In addition, the NCEA must provide TA to those conducting research and demonstration projects on causes, prevention, identification, and treatment of elder abuse, aligning with additional statutory intent. The grantee is expected to maintain practical website resources such as Frequently Asked Questions and to explain in the application how TA quality and relevance will be measured and ensured, along with how lessons learned from TA will be shared back out to the field.
From an administrative and rights standpoint, ACL notes that products created under the cooperative agreement may be copyrighted without prior ACL approval, but the federal government must receive a royalty-free, nonexclusive, irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use materials for federal purposes and to authorize others to do so (including use in government-sponsored databases). ACL also expects to review materials produced under the award and determine whether they are appropriate to post on the NCEA website for broad public benefit, and it retains the right to grant permission for others to use, distribute, and cite materials developed under the grant.
