Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOA EJIG 0236
The Elder Justice Innovation Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2017 ACL AOA EJIG 0236) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means that, beyond providing funds, the federal agency expects to have an ongoing role in the project through collaboration, technical input, or other forms of program involvement as the work progresses. The program sits within the broader funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services (CFDA 93.747), reflecting its focus on services and systems that protect older adults and strengthen community responses to harm.
The core purpose of the program is to spur innovation in elder justice by supporting work on new and emerging issues in the prevention of, and response to, elder abuse. In practical terms, the program is designed to fund projects that can move the field forward, not just locally but nationally, by producing tools, materials, models, and approaches that others can adopt. Successful projects are expected to create outputs that are broadly disseminated and/or replicable in different jurisdictions and settings. Another major emphasis is building or strengthening the evidence base, meaning projects should contribute credible knowledge about what works, why it works, and under what conditions it can be implemented effectively.
For fiscal year 2017, the opportunity places particular weight on improving understanding of effective approaches to reduce and address the harms older people experience from abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. This includes efforts that test or evaluate interventions, develop practice-informed resources, or otherwise generate usable findings for practitioners and policymakers. A specific area of interest is Adult Protective Services (APS) practice: the program seeks better clarity on which APS practices are most strongly associated with positive outcomes, helping the field move toward more consistent, effective, and evidence-informed interventions for at-risk older adults.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of entities, with the caveat that applicants must follow any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. The grant competition was created on June 12, 2017, with applications originally due August 14, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the agency anticipated making approximately five awards, indicating a competitive selection process with limited funding slots and an expectation that awarded projects would be strong candidates for national relevance, replication, or contribution to the evidence base.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at strengthening the elder justice field by funding practical innovations and knowledge-building work that can improve prevention and intervention strategies, expand what is known about effective responses to elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, and help identify APS practices that lead to the best outcomes for older adults.Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOA EJIG 0236
