Purpose of the NOFO

RFA-AG-25-001 invites applications that aim to develop Common Data Elements (CDEs) for NIA-funded studies on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) using Real-World Data (RWD) from electronic health records and claims data from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The CDEs will foster data harmonization and interoperability across and among NIA studies that involve disparate and unaligned data fields and RWD. By reducing the efforts required for data harmonization in using studies and RWD for cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, the NOFO may enable researchers to utilize studies data and RWD more efficiently and produce real-world evidence (RWE) in a timely manner with longitudinal data from NIA-funded studies and RWD.

Purpose of the Webinar

The webinar will answer frequently asked questions about RFA-AG-25-001 and provide tips for assembling a strong application.

The webinar is optional and is not required for submission to the NOFO.
