Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, announced a discretionary grant opportunity in fiscal year 2013 titled "NIJ FY 13 Research and Evaluation on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Elderly Individuals" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3459; CFDA 16.560). The purpose of the solicitation was to fund research and evaluation projects that build practical, evidence-based knowledge about the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults, including older individuals living in residential care facilities. The emphasis is on producing findings that can inform criminal justice policy and practice, whether the work is aimed at understanding the problem, testing responses, evaluating interventions, or improving how systems identify and address these harms.
The opportunity invited proposals focused on abuse and victimization issues affecting elderly individuals in a range of settings, with explicit inclusion of residents of residential care facilities. NIJ signaled that proposed research could operate at multiple levels of the justice system and governance, including state, local, tribal, federal, and even juvenile criminal justice policy and practice levels. In other words, applicants could design studies that examine how elder abuse cases are detected, reported, investigated, prosecuted, and prevented; how victims are supported; and how interagency coordination works across health, social services, adult protective services, long-term care oversight, and law enforcement, so long as the project maintained a clear research or evaluation focus aligned with criminal justice outcomes and decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding mechanism was a grant under NIJ's "Research and Evaluation" activity area. The solicitation listed an expected award count of one, suggesting NIJ anticipated making a single primary award from this announcement. The notice did not specify a dollar amount for the award ceiling or floor (both were shown as 0), which typically means applicants needed to consult the full solicitation for budget guidance, project period expectations, and any constraints on allowable costs. Cost sharing or matching was not required, lowering barriers for organizations that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications in the full solicitation. Practically, that kind of language generally allows universities, nonprofits, for-profits, units of government, tribal entities, and other qualified organizations to apply, provided they can meet federal grants management requirements and can credibly carry out rigorous research or evaluation work.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of March 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2013. The archive date was August 20, 2013, indicating when the opportunity would be moved out of active status in the funding portal. Applicants were directed to the full solicitation for complete requirements and instructions. For technical issues accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the notice provided the Grants.gov Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and support@grants.gov, with availability 24/7 except federal holidays. For programmatic questions related to the solicitation itself, the NIJ point of contact listed was Carrie Mulford, Social Science Analyst, reachable at Carrie.Mulford@usdoj.gov or 202-307-2959.
Overall, this opportunity was designed to strengthen the evidence base around elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, with an explicit goal of improving how criminal justice and related systems prevent harm, respond to cases, and protect vulnerable older adults, including those in residential care environments.
