Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2019 15656
The OVC FY 2019 Transforming America's Response to Elder Abuse: Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams (E-MDTs) for Older Victims of Abuse and Financial Exploitation grant opportunity is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It focuses on improving how communities identify, investigate, and respond to elder abuse and financial exploitation by strengthening coordinated, cross-disciplinary casework. The central idea is that older victims often face overlapping legal, medical, behavioral health, social service, and financial harms, and that a well-structured team approach can reduce gaps in response, improve outcomes, and avoid re-traumatizing victims through fragmented or repetitive processes.
Under this solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2019 15656; CFDA 16.582), OVC plans to support up to 15 awards aimed at either creating new multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) or enhancing existing MDTs into "Enhanced MDTs" (E-MDTs). These teams can be based in rural, Tribal, local, or statewide settings, and the program also welcomes MDTs operating within a Family Justice Center model. The opportunity specifically encourages applicants to build in specialized expertise that is often critical in elder cases, including forensic accounting services to help uncover, document, and interpret complex financial exploitation, and gero-psychiatrists (or similarly specialized geriatric behavioral health clinicians) to consult on capacity, cognitive issues, trauma, and other age-related clinical considerations. Beyond those highlighted roles, applicants are encouraged to propose additional enhancements that make their teams more effective and better able to meet victim needs.
A major component of the overall initiative is not limited to local team funding. OVC also intends to separately fund the creation of a National MDT Training and Technical Assistance Institute. This national resource is meant to help MDTs across the country develop effective collaborative practices for elder abuse and financial exploitation cases, with an emphasis on practical guidance that improves case outcomes while minimizing additional trauma to older adults and helping restore their safety and security. In other words, the program is designed to both expand or strengthen on-the-ground E-MDT capacity and to build a national support structure so MDTs can learn, standardize effective approaches, and sustain high-quality multidisciplinary work.
Key administrative details include a posted date of June 7, 2019, with an original closing date of July 7, 2019. The award ceiling is listed as $3,000,000, and OVC anticipates a total of 16 awards (reflecting the combination of the E-MDT site awards and the separate national training and technical assistance institute award). The funding activity categories connected to the program include Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, which fits the program's combined victim-services and justice-system focus. Eligibility is noted as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the solicitation's additional eligibility information, signaling that applicants should rely on the full program text to confirm which organizations and entities can apply and under what conditions.Apply for OVC 2019 15656
