the amount of $275,000 to the University of Southern (U.S.C.) 
California, Department of Family Medicine and Geriatrics, National

DATES: The award will be issued for the project period to run 
concurrently with the existing grantee's budget period of September 30, 
2015 through September 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aiesha Gurley, Office of Elder Justice 
and Adult Protective Services, Administration on Aging, Administration

Telephone: 202-795-7358; Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACL National Center on Elder Abuse 
serves as a national resource center dedicated to the prevention of 
elder mistreatment. The NCEA disseminates elder abuse information to 
professionals and the public, and provides technical assistance and 
training to states and to community-based organizations. NCEA is unique 
because it operates as a multi-disciplinary consortium of equal 
partners with expertise in elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. They 
serve as a national clearinghouse of information for elder rights 
advocates, law enforcement, legal professionals, public policy leaders, 
researchers, and others working to ensure that all older Americans will 
live with dignity, integrity, independence, and without abuse, neglect, 
and exploitation.
    Additional funds are needed to leverage the resource center's 
funding for elder abuse awareness through social media and creating 
state leadership networks through targeted campaigns that will assist 
states in spreading awareness. This supplementary funding would be 
provided for the approved period.
    This program is authorized under Title II of the Older Americans 
Act Section 202(d)(2) which establishes the requirements for the 
National Center for Elder Abuse.

    Dated: April 19, 2016.
Kathy Greenlee,
Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
