Part 2. Full Text of Announcement
Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
This section was modified to add:
NIA
The mission of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) is to support and conduct biological, clinical, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging; foster the development of research and clinician scientists in aging; provide research resources to facilitate innovative aging research; and disseminate information about aging and related advances in research to the public, health care professionals, and the scientific community, among a variety of audiences. NIA will support meritorious applications that focus on aging research, in addition to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementia (ADRD). A strategic priority of NIA is understanding the environmental, sociocultural, behavioral, and biological drivers of health inequities and disparities related to aging as well as AD/ADRD. NIA also supports research to develop strategies for the improvement of health among midlife and older adults, including adults from racial minority groups and other populations that experience health inequities/disparities. Studies that draw data from across the lifespan are especially encouraged and applicants are expected to factor sex as a biological variable into research designs, analyses, and reporting in vertebrate animal and human studies. These priorities are outlined in NIA’s strategic directions for health disparities research and in the AD+ADRD Research Implementation Milestones related to health disparities, as well as reflected within NIA’s Health Disparities framework.
