About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living is forecasting a single cooperative agreement to operate a National Adult Protective Services Training Center, with no stated application deadline. Only individuals and entities meeting eligibility requirements—including faith-based and community organizations—may apply; foreign entities are ineligible, and non-USA citizens must provide documentation of eligibility to receive research funding directly from a U.S. government agency.
The cooperative agreement funds capacity-building for adult protective services professionals and organizations that recruit, train, supervise, manage, and retain them. The National APS Training Center will develop and deliver online learning via a web-based learning management system, emphasizing evidence-informed practice, leadership development, and improvements to APS agency organization, culture, and climate, with the ultimate goal of improving safety and well-being for those experiencing adult maltreatment.
The opportunity falls under the Elder Abuse Prevention Interventions Program (CFDA 93.747), which supports prevention and intervention in elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. Cooperative agreements under this program run for up to three years, depending on funding availability, with extensions available upon request from the Project Officer. Eligible applicant categories include state and local governments, Indian tribal governments and organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education; state governments also qualify for additional grant authorities under the Affordable Care Act.
Merit review emphasizes documented need, expected reach and outcomes, organizational capacity, coordination and partnerships, and evidence or theory basis. Nonfederal entities expending $750,000 or more annually in federal awards are subject to single or program-specific audit; records must be maintained for three years after final financial report submission.
Forecast synopsis
This funding opportunity will award one cooperative agreement to operate a National APS Training Center (NATC) to build the capacity of adult protective services professionals and improving the organizations that recruit, train, supervise, manage, and retain them, with the goal of improving the safety and well-being of those experiencing adult maltreatment. The NATC will create various modes of on-line learning and deliver via a web-baed learning management system training for APS workers that promote evidence-informed practice, support leadership development, and improve APS agency organization, culture and climate.
