Administration on Aging Grant to Continue the National Adult Protective Services Resource Center for Elder Abuse Prevention

To be considered for funding under this program announcement, applicants must demonstrate the following:
a) Demonstrated understanding of and experience operating public health prevention programs
b) A history of work with adult protective services;
c) A history of work in elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation issues;
d) Experience operating a large resource center serving state-wide, regional, or national audiences and stakeholders;
e) Evidence of an organizational infrastructure capable of effectively supporting technical assistance locally, regionally, and nationally.

These five (5) elements are considered “responsiveness criteria” (See Section 3 below). It is not necessary that an applicant demonstrate existing, full capacity to carry out the activities of this grant program. Applicants are permitted to propose a period of “staffing up,” in which case their application must clearly detail how and in what timeframe this will be accomplished. However, please note that preference will be given to organizations that demonstrate existing capacity in the above five (5) areas. This preference will be objectively measured through the scoring criteria in the review process (See Section V below).
Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
