Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released this discretionary grant opportunity in 2010 to fund a focused assessment of how well administrative records can be used to measure elder abuse, mistreatment, and neglect. The central idea is to use real-world case information already collected by two key systems, Adult Protective Services (APS) and local law enforcement, to better understand what suspected elder abuse cases look like, how they enter the system, and what happens after they are reported. BJS is looking for a project that can both describe patterns in these cases and test whether the underlying data are strong and consistent enough to support an ongoing national or multi-jurisdiction data collection effort in the future.
The project has two main goals. First, it aims to examine the characteristics of suspected elder abuse cases that are referred to APS and/or reported to police. This includes understanding the different routes through which cases come to official attention (for example, whether they are more likely to be reported to APS, to police, or to both) and exploring whether certain case features are linked to different case outcomes. In practical terms, this could involve looking at differences by type of alleged mistreatment, relationship between victim and alleged offender, setting, seriousness of the allegation, evidence available, or other factors that may affect screening decisions, investigations, referrals, substantiation, or criminal justice outcomes. Second, it aims to determine the feasibility of building an ongoing and expanded administrative data collection on suspected elder abuse, mistreatment, and neglect, meaning the project should identify what data elements exist, how comparable they are across jurisdictions, what gaps or inconsistencies are common, and what would be required to standardize and sustain regular reporting over time.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BJS expects to be actively involved in the project through collaboration, feedback, and coordination rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The activity category is Information and Statistics, and the CFDA listing is 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), signaling that the work is intended to produce usable statistical knowledge and improve data infrastructure rather than deliver direct services. BJS anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required.
Eligibility was broad but specific. Applicants could include for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. A notable emphasis is placed on demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, explicitly including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. At the same time, the announcement reiterates a common Office of Justice Programs fiscal restriction: for-profit organizations may apply but cannot earn profit from the award and cannot charge a management fee for performing the work.
Key dates show this as a time-limited 2010 competition: it was posted and created on April 7, 2010, with an application closing date of June 8, 2010, and an archive date of July 8, 2010.
