Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2016 Enhanced Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (USDOJ-OJP-OVW). Its central purpose is to strengthen how communities prevent, identify, and respond to abuse in later life by supporting efforts that provide or enhance both training and direct services for victims age 50 and older. The program is designed to address a wide range of harm experienced by older adults, including elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and it explicitly includes cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking when the victim is 50 years of age or older. In practice, the opportunity is aimed at improving coordinated, victim-centered responses so older victims can access safety, justice, and supportive services that reflect their specific needs and circumstances.
This solicitation was released as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that OVW expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during the project period (for example, through guidance, collaboration, or oversight tied to project activities). The funding fits within the federal activity areas of income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the program's emphasis on both the social-service side of victim assistance and the justice-system response. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.528.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The solicitation also notes an "Others" category with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement, indicating that some additional applicant types may qualify under specific conditions described in the complete guidance. This range of eligible applicants reflects the reality that effective responses to elder abuse and violence later in life often require partnerships among victim service providers, social service agencies, legal services, law enforcement, courts, and tribal or local governments.
The opportunity was posted on December 9, 2015, with an application closing date of February 11, 2016 (the original and current closing dates are the same). OVW anticipated making approximately 8 awards under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $400,000 per award. Overall, the grant is structured to help communities expand capacity and improve the quality of training and services so professionals and organizations are better prepared to recognize abuse in later life, respond appropriately, and connect older victims to meaningful protection and support.
