The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has awarded a $1.2 million Elder Justice Innovation Grant (EJIG) to the RISE Collaborative for the first year of a three-year project. The project seeks to further validate the RISE model as an evidenced-based intervention embedded in Adult Protective Services (APS) programs.

RISE operates at Relational, Individual, Social, and Environmental levels to work with older adults, alleged harmers, their relationships, and to strengthen social supports surrounding them. RISE was initially pilot tested (beginning in 2019) in two counties in Maine. Building on evidence collected in the two-county pilot, RISE-APS was expanded state-wide in Maine and is in the early stages of replication in New Hampshire. 

The goal of this project is to replicate and evaluate RISE-APS in three additional locations with diverse contexts and populations.

Phase I "Letters of Interest" are due no later than October 7, 2024.
