Opportunity Summary:
The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) grant opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). The purpose of the award is to support a single national center that serves as a leading resource on elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, helping strengthen prevention and response efforts across the country. ACL lays out a set of targets to guide the center's work, making it clear that the grantee is not expected to accomplish every target every year. However, applicants are expected, at a minimum, to explain how they will meet the statutory "core targets" for the NCEA, and then identify any additional priorities they believe are most important to advance.
The required core targets come directly from Section 202(d) of the Older Americans Act (OAA) and define the baseline functions ACL expects the NCEA to perform. First, the NCEA must serve as a national authority on elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, meaning it functions as a central, trusted hub for evidence, guidance, and field-facing resources. Second, the center must annually compile, publish, and disseminate a summary of recently conducted research in the elder abuse field, ensuring that new findings are packaged in a way that practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders can access and use. Third, the NCEA must develop and maintain an information clearinghouse on programs that show promise in preventing, identifying, and treating elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including both public and private initiatives; this is described as the existing "NCEA Promising Practices Database." Fourth, the center must compile, publish, and disseminate training materials for personnel who are engaged in, or preparing to engage in, work related to elder abuse prevention and intervention. Fifth, the NCEA must provide technical assistance to State agencies and to other public and nonprofit private organizations to help them plan, improve, develop, and carry out activities addressing elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Finally, the center must research and review state adult protective services (APS) programs and promising practices in order to develop model standards that could be adopted nationwide, which is aimed at improving consistency and quality across states.
In addition to the statutory duties, ACL identifies several "secondary targets" that reflect current field needs and broader ACL and HHS strategic priorities. These include translating and disseminating relevant research and demonstration project lessons into real-world practice so that evidence does not remain stuck in academic or pilot settings. ACL also highlights the need for work related to the guardianship system, including developing or supporting innovative approaches to improve guardianship, address guardianship abuse, and incorporate supported decision-making principles as appropriate. Another secondary priority is public and professional awareness-raising around elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, emphasizing outreach that increases recognition of the problem and promotes action. Finally, ACL expects the NCEA to develop and use a communications strategy that supports regular, practical information-sharing. This strategy is expected to include a professional listserv (noted as the "NCEA Elder Abuse Listserv"), a process for responding to requests from both the public and professionals, and the production and dissemination of informational materials such as website content, newsletters, fact sheets, brochures, and issue briefs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity (HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-AB-0069) anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of $765,152 (and no stated award floor). The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means ACL expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond what is common in a standard grant, often through collaboration, coordination, and ongoing guidance. The posting date was May 6, 2014, with an application deadline of July 1, 2014, due by 11:59 p.m. ET, and an archive date of July 31, 2014. Cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is broadly described as unrestricted across entity types, but with explicit exclusions: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to maintain and strengthen a national infrastructure for combating elder abuse by combining research synthesis, resource clearinghouse functions, training development, hands-on technical assistance, and standards development for APS, while also pushing the field toward improved communications, greater awareness, and modernized approaches to guardianship and supported decision making.
