NEW FUNDING: Research on the Abuse, Neglect and Financial Exploitation of Older Adults

This NOFO seeks to fund applications for rigorous research and evaluation projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of older adults.

NIJ seeks proposals in five topical areas:

• Evaluation of programs that seek to prevent, intervene in, or respond to the abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of older adults.

• Research on financial fraud against older adults, including knowledge building around scam prevention messaging.

• Research on formal and informal caregivers who abuse (either financially, physically, sexually, and/or emotionally) or neglect older adults, to inform intervention and prevention program development.

• Forensic research involving the development of radiographic evidence and bioinformatic approaches relevant to the physical abuse of older adults.

• Research examining the role of emerging technologies in fraud and exploitation.
