Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Research on Abuse, Neglect, and Financial Exploitation of Older Adults in Nevada
The Grants for Research on Abuse, Neglect, and Financial Exploitation of Older Adults program, funded by a Banking Institution, aims to support research projects that evaluate programs and interventions targeting the abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of older adults in Nevada. A key priority outcome for this grant is to inform evidence-based practices that prevent, intervene in, or respond to elder abuse.
Advancing Research on Elder Abuse in Nevada's Diverse Population
Nevada's older adult population is diverse, with significant growth in minority communities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Nevada's population aged 65 and older is projected to increase by 57% between 2020 and 2030. This demographic shift underscores the need for targeted research on elder abuse in Nevada's unique contexts, including its frontier counties and urban centers like Las Vegas. The Nevada Division of Health and Human Services, Aging and Disability Services Division, is a key state agency addressing elder abuse, and research projects that collaborate with this agency can leverage existing resources and expertise.
Priority Outcomes: Evaluating Programs and Interventions
Research projects funded under this grant should focus on evaluating programs that serve older adults in Nevada, particularly those that address the needs of vulnerable populations, such as those with dementia or living in rural areas. Priority outcomes include:
- Improved understanding of the prevalence and consequences of elder abuse in Nevada.
- Evaluation of programs that prevent or intervene in elder abuse, including those that support caregivers and older adults.
- Development of effective strategies to address financial exploitation, a growing concern in Nevada's older adult community.
To achieve these outcomes, researchers should engage with stakeholders, including state agencies, service providers, and older adult advocates. Collaboration with the Nevada Attorney General's Office, which has a dedicated Elder Protection Unit, can also inform research and ensure that findings are relevant to policy and practice.
The grant's focus on research and evaluation aligns with the needs of Nevada's aging population, which faces unique challenges due to the state's rapid growth and demographic characteristics. By supporting research on elder abuse, this grant can help inform effective solutions to this critical issue, ultimately improving the lives of older Nevadans.
Nevada's research community is well-positioned to tackle these challenges, with institutions like the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the University of Nevada, Reno, conducting research on aging and elder abuse. The Nevada Grant Lab is another resource that can facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
For applicants seeking funding for research on elder abuse in Nevada, it is essential to consider the state's specific context and needs. By doing so, researchers can develop targeted interventions and evaluations that address the complex issues surrounding elder abuse.

Additionally, institutions like the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the University of Nevada, Reno, may have data and expertise relevant to elder abuse research.
Q: What are the key considerations for researchers seeking to address the needs of Nevada's diverse older adult population? A: Researchers should consider the demographic characteristics of Nevada's older adult population, including its growth in minority communities, and develop targeted interventions and evaluations that address the unique needs of these populations. By doing so, researchers can ensure that their findings are relevant to policy and practice in Nevada.
