Purpose
This Notice is to inform potential applicants that the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) is participating, effective immediately, in PAR-15-350 "Emerging Directions for Addressing Health Disparities in Alzheimer's Disease (R03)".
The following sections of PAR-15-350 have been updated to reflect the participation of NIDCR in this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
FOA currently reads:
Objectives
The goals of this FOA is to 1) leverage data from existing cohorts or other studies to do secondary analyses focused on health disparities in AD; 2) develop improved measures for collection of data on health disparities research related to AD; 3) compare practices in community outreach, engagement and participatory research for a variety of populations; 4) develop improved recruitment and retention strategies and approaches for a variety of populations.
Research topics of interest include:
- Robust estimates of Alzheimer's disease in diverse cohorts;
- Mechanisms by which education contributes to declines in the age-specific risk of dementia;
- Projections of the future burden of dementia in diverse cohorts;
- Analyses of biological pathways that create and sustain AD disparities;
- Analyses focusing on the relationship of race, education, comorbidities and geographic location on dementia risk and cognitive resilience;
- Analyses of the challenges and burdens faced by informal/family caregivers from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds that are associated with the growing population of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
- Analyses of the disparities in access to and utilization of formal long-term supports and services for those with dementia.
- Strategies for recruitment and retention that overcome logistical barriers and disparities in clinical research and clinical trial participation.

- Analyses of oral health clinical and/or biospecimen data from existing cohorts with dementia, to assess oral health status, outcomes of prevention/treatment regimens, or causal associations between oral health and dementia, including genomic analyses.
- Psychometric testing of new measures to assess outcomes of interest for common behavioral and social interventions to improve oral health in health disparities populations with dementia.
