The National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment Mentorship Program: Request for Applications

The National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment (NCAEM), led by the Education Development Center (EDC), has announced a request for applications for its Mentorship Program. This will be the second cohort of the program.

The one-year program is intended to identify and support clinicians, service providers, researchers, policymakers and advocates from multiple disciplines who wish to focus on improving care for older adults experiencing or at risk of experiencing elder mistreatment and abuse. Mentees will be paired with an expert mentor with shared interests and experiences to work together to design and complete a project of their choosing, where they will present it at a special two-day convening in Washington, D.C., in June 2024.

The program recognizes that improving elder mistreatment identification, intervention and prevention requires supporting people with a broad range of interests and careers and NCAEM plans to select a varied cohort. Applicants representing or working with underserved populations are encouraged to apply. If you have questions about the NCAEM Mentorship Program, please e-mail NCAEM@edc.org. The deadline for application submission is May 5.
