Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation on the Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of Elderly Individuals and Residents of Residential Care Facilities" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010-2434) supports research and evaluation projects focused on harm against older adults age 60 and above. The program is designed to build stronger evidence about the nature, prevalence, causes, prevention, detection, and response to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including situations involving older adults who live in the community as well as those living in residential care settings. The funding activity category is explicitly framed as research and evaluation, meaning applicants are expected to generate findings that can inform policy and practice rather than provide direct service delivery alone.
For the purposes of this solicitation, NIJ uses a broad definition of "abuse" that goes well beyond physical assault. It includes physical abuse (and specifically notes medication abuse), sexual abuse, psychological or emotional abuse, abandonment and isolation, neglect, and financial or fiduciary abuse. This scope signals that NIJ is interested in understanding and addressing both interpersonal forms of victimization and systems-level failures that can place older adults at risk, including coercion, manipulation, deprivation of care, and misuse of authority or trust over money, benefits, or assets.
The opportunity also defines "residential care facility" broadly, indicating that eligible research can address many types of institutions and living arrangements where older adults or individuals with long-term care needs receive services. Examples listed include nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult family care homes, and adult care facilities serving individuals with developmental, cognitive, or physical disabilities. The definition also covers other residential facilities providing services to people who are elderly, have disabilities, or have long-term chronic care needs. In practical terms, this invites projects that examine not only traditional nursing home environments, but also a wider continuum of care settings where oversight, staffing, medical management, guardianship, and resident vulnerability can differ substantially.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program with an anticipated five awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. The opportunity lists award floor and ceiling as 0, which typically means applicants must consult the full solicitation document for the expected budget ranges, project periods, and any limits by category. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to clarifications in the full announcement, which generally means universities, nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities, and government agencies may be able to apply if they meet NIJ and DOJ requirements described in the solicitation.
Key dates included a posted and created date of February 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. While those dates indicate the specific competition is historical, the summary of the program remains useful for understanding NIJ priorities and the kinds of research questions and methods typically encouraged for elder abuse and long-term care facility safety topics.
For applicants needing help, the listed program contact is Carrie Mulford, Social Science Analyst, at (202) 307-2959, with an agency point-of-contact email referenced in the full announcement. The solicitation also notes that assistance is available for those who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, and it provides an "Additional Information" link to the full solicitation document where detailed requirements, submission instructions, deliverables, and evaluation criteria would be specified.
