About this opportunity

The purpose of the EJIG program is to support the development and advancement of new and emerging approaches to address issues related to elder justice. For this opportunity, awards will be made to the highest state courts to improve guardianship by: assessing the fairness, effectiveness, timeliness, safety, integrity, and accessibility of adult guardianship and conservatorship proceedings; implementing changes deemed necessary as a result of the assessments; and/or implementing systems to simplify the filing process for conservators and guardians and better enable courts to identify discrepancies and detect fraud and the exploitation of protected person.

Who can apply

  • State governments

Authorizing statute restricts eligibility to the highest courts in a state (Elder Justice Act Section 2042(b)). Foreign entities are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
