FY2024 Elder Justice Innovation Grants- Option 1 | HHS 2024 ACL AOA EJIG 0011

Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOA EJIG 0011

The FY2024 Elder Justice Innovation Grants (EJIG) - Option 1 opportunity is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is designed to move the elder justice field forward by supporting projects that tackle new or emerging issues related to elder abuse and that strengthen prevention and intervention efforts in ways that can benefit the broader field, not just a single local program.

This opportunity funds innovation-oriented work that produces tools the field can actually use, such as practical materials, curricula, frameworks, program models, training products, or other resources that can be widely disseminated and/or replicated. A major emphasis is on generating value beyond the immediate grantee by creating approaches that other communities and organizations can adopt. Projects may also focus on building the evidence base, meaning applicants can propose efforts that develop, test, evaluate, or otherwise contribute to knowledge about what works in elder abuse prevention and response, including approaches that address evolving trends, gaps, or newly recognized challenges in elder justice.

Awards will be made as cooperative agreements rather than standard grants. That typically means the federal agency expects to be more involved during the project period, with ongoing collaboration, substantial federal participation, and shared responsibility for key elements of the work. The activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number is 93.747, which is commonly used to identify the program in federal systems and for compliance, reporting, and audit purposes.

The funding opportunity number is HHS-2024-ACL-AOA-EJIG-0011. The announcement was created on April 15, 2024, with an original application closing date of June 18, 2024. The anticipated maximum funding amount per award (the award ceiling) is $500,000, and ACL expects to make about five awards under this competition, indicating a competitive selection process.

Eligibility in the source data is described as "Unrestricted," but the notice also states that additional eligibility information will be provided in the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). One firm restriction is included up front: foreign entities are not eligible to apply for or receive awards under this announcement. Applicants interested in this opportunity would need to consult the full NOFO for the detailed requirements, including any specific eligible applicant types, required project elements, expected outcomes, evaluation expectations, and any match or partnership requirements.
