To: Members of NBER Programs on Aging and Health Care
NIH has issued an R01 funding opportunity for multi-disciplinary teams
on "Uncovering the Causes, Contexts, and Consequences of Elder
Mistreatment." The due date is October 20, 2017. A letter of intent is
required by September 20th.
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to to
solicit applications proposing research that can lead to advancements in
the understanding of elder mistreatment (emotional abuse, physical
abuse, and sexual abuse; financial exploitation; abandonment; and
neglect) and lay the foundation for the future design of mechanistically
focused interventions for individuals at risk for mistreating elders,
for promoting recovery and resilience in the maltreated and their
families, and for preventing re-perpetration for those who have
inflicted harm. Applications are solicited from multidisciplinary teams
which include researchers from the fields of elder mistreatment, child
abuse and neglect, intimate partner violence, and/or emergency medicine
to pursue research in two priority areas: (1) the development of new and
innovative tools and methods for the screening and detection of elder
mistreatment; and (2) the identification of modifiable risk factors for
elder mistreatment and modifiable protective factors, with potential to
prevent maltreatment and/or enable individuals who have been mistreated
and those who have mistreated others to overcome adversity and thrive.
All applications should propose evidence-based strategies for addressing
ethical challenges surrounding informed consent and study design in the
research proposed, and to employ, when possible, best practices
established in the fields of child abuse and neglect and/or intimate
partner violence.
