Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2015 Enhanced Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2015 4034) was a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its core purpose was to strengthen how communities prevent and respond to abuse affecting older victims, specifically people age 50 and older. The program focused on building or improving practical, coordinated training and victim services that address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including cases that also involve sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. In other words, it was designed to help systems and service providers better recognize, investigate, and respond to harm that can look different in later life, while ensuring older survivors can access safety planning, advocacy, and supportive services that fit their needs.
This opportunity used a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates a closer working relationship with the federal awarding agency than a standard grant, often involving ongoing coordination, technical assistance, or shared expectations about project implementation. The activity categories tied to the program were Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting that later-life abuse response typically requires both victim support services and system-based legal and justice interventions. The assistance listing was under CFDA 16.528, which corresponds to enhanced training and services to end violence and abuse of women later in life.
OVW anticipated making up to 8 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. Individual awards could be as high as $400,000 (the award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The solicitation was posted on January 28, 2015, and the application deadline was March 18, 2015, with the opportunity archived on April 17, 2015.
Eligibility was centered on organizations positioned to influence statewide, tribal, or territorial training and coordinated responses. The eligibility information indicated that applicants were state, tribal, or territorial domestic violence or sexual assault coalitions. The broader eligible applicant categories listed in the notice included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, and certain nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the solicitation also directed applicants to additional eligibility clarification in the full announcement.
Overall, the program aimed to improve the capacity of professionals and systems that intersect with older victims, such as victim service providers, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, adult protective services, healthcare providers, and other community-based partners. By funding enhanced training and services, OVW sought to reduce harm, improve victim safety and autonomy, and increase offender accountability in cases where aging-related factors, dependency, isolation, cognitive or physical disabilities, financial exploitation risks, or caregiver dynamics can complicate identification and response.
