Research Objectives
Purpose
The purpose of this FOA is to provide infrastructure support to foster further development and integration in emerging interdisciplinary areas of research in basic biology of aging. This FOA will use the NIH Resource-Related Research Project (R24) mechanism to facilitate research networks that will advance specific scientific goals through meetings, conferences, small scale pilot projects, short term training opportunities (such as intensive workshops, summer institutes, or visiting scholar programs) and dissemination activities to encourage growth and development in interdisciplinary areas of interest to the Division of Aging Biology of the NIH. The NIA supports research in a large number of areas of basic biology, ranging from genetic and molecular to cellular and tissue / organ physiology. There is a need to develop an integrative view of the aging process, and this integration requires scientists from different disciplines and backgrounds to not just talk with each other, but also to complement each other's expertise. The goal is to develop these interdisciplinary areas of inquiry to the point where the fields and related activities can be supported through standard mechanisms such as research grants, conference grants, program projects, centers, and/or institutional training grants. The specific goal sought by the applicant should be clearly stated in the application. While we encourage the development of research networks in any and all areas funded under our Aging Biology Program, applications are particularly encouraged in the following areas:
Background
Recent years have seen an explosion in our knowledge and understanding of the basic biology of aging, with many seemingly disparate lines of research coming to a point of development where integrative and systems level correlations among them appear likely, and indeed many researchers are poised to take advantage of these many leads in knowledge. It seems critical at this stage to develop theoretical and experimental paradigms that will cross these different disciplines in order to develop overarching views of the aging process as a whole or to redefine current theories of aging and to assess the promise and limitations of interventions into this process. Enhanced interactions among researchers are expected to result in more holistic approaches and more comprehensive understanding of the inter-relationships among several molecular pathways, organs and cell types, thus providing the foundation for a higher level understanding of the complex phenomena underlying the processes of aging. In addition, this FOA intends to support further dissemination and mining of available rich data sets on aging in the form of the several high through-put technologies, as they apply to the basic biology of aging. Other efforts being encouraged are the training of new investigators and recruitment of the best scientists to aging research to ensure continued growth in these fields. The activities funded in response to this announcement will have well-defined goals and objectives that will help to advance integrative approaches to aging biology research.
Examples of recent advances in aging research abound at several biological levels, including the genetics of aging (IGF, sirtuins, mTOR, for example), molecular mechanisms (role of stress, protein stability and turnover), cell biology (role of senescence and its secretory phenotype, tissue repair and stem cells) and tissue function (inflammation, hormonal regulation among tissues). In large part because of these advances, aging research is currently entering a stage where interventions into the process are conceivable, and many of them are currently being tested. Importantly, research done primarily in rodent models indicates that these interventions often lead not only to longer lifespans, but to considerable improvements in healthspan as well, which appears as a delayed onset of chronic illness. This is not surprising since it is very well established that aging is the single major risk factor in the development of a panoply of chronic diseases and conditions. As a consequence, interventions that delay the process of aging are indeed expected to concomitantly delay the appearance and/or severity of these age-related diseases.
As interventions against aging appear from these studies and thus become ever more likely to be tested, first in animal models and eventually in humans, there is an urgent need to develop comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches to assess both the potential benefits and risks of proposed interventions. Equally important, the likelihood of success, potential impact and roadblocks to implementation at the population level need to be evaluated. It is of paramount importance that these multivariate and cross-disciplinary analyses be done in animals, well before we proceed to testing potential interventions in humans.
Scope
This FOA is designed to address the needs of researchers for network development in order to advance interdisciplinary research programs in aging biology. Networks can take several different forms depending on the specific areas to be developed. These might include meetings, series of meetings, conferences, training activities, courses, sabbaticals or other visiting scholars programs, or other activities as deemed useful to a specific area of inquiry, appropriate for the advancement of specific scientific goals, and as justified by the applicant.
The topics to be developed are those cross-sectional areas that are well enough advanced and constitute the core of NIA’s current portfolios in aging biology. All applicants must explain how the proposed networking activities will advance an emerging area and why these goals will serve to advance or accelerate science beyond what can be achieved through existing programs or structures. The NIA expects applicant institutions to propose the development of innovative research networks in any of the areas funded under our Aging Biology Program, and applications are particularly encouraged in the following areas:
1. Integrative physiology of anti-aging interventions: In the past few years, interventions that retard aging and postpone age-related physiological decline in mice have been described. The NIA Interventions Testing Program routinely tests additional candidate interventions. These represent a first step towards translation, but before that step can be accomplished, a comprehensive analysis of the physiologic and pathological effects of these interventions is critical. Applications seeking the definition of end-points of relevance to the different manipulations, or development of integrative batteries of tests or identification of surrogate measures of efficacy are encouraged, as are networks of investigators focused on a coordinated approach to assessing the long-term effects of longevity-promoting interventions, both on the physiology of normal animals and in animal models of particular age-related diseases.
2. Inflammation and age-related diseases: Several recent lines of evidence indicate that aging is often accompanied by a dysregulation of the innate immune response. This in turn contributes to a pro-inflammatory state that may be a causative factor in the development of many age-associated diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and others. This FOA encourages the development of networks of researchers focused on identifying the origin of the dysregulation of the innate immune response, as well as its downstream effects on a variety of tissues, both in the presence and absence of symptomatic disease. Teams focused on manipulations that remove potential celular sources of inflammation, such as senescent cells or elements of the innate immune response, are also encouraged to apply.
3. Genetics and physiology of stress resistance: A variety of genetic models of extended lifespan converge on the up-regulation of genes and pathways that confer increased resistance to a wide variety of stressors. Similarly, some of the currently studied non-genetic interventions (resveratrol and rapamycin, for example) seem to also result in enhanced stress resistance. Furthermore, recent interest in concepts such as hormesis and the cross-talk between dietary stress and aging warrant further scrutiny by teams of investigators with expertise in several areas of research, in order to further elucidate the potential role of stress resistance and hormesis in lifespan and healthspan. Short visits by scholars in different disciplines with the purpose of cross-pollinating the different fields, as well as small working meetings are particularly encouraged.
4. Comparative biology of aging: While considerable effort is currently being spent on defining the genetic and physiological determinants of aging in defined species, nature provides abundant examples of species with exceptional longevity, when compared to closely related species (e.g., naked mole rats versus laboratory mice). Gerontologists have begun to exploit this fact by using models such as the Naked Mole Rat and bivalve mollusks (clams, mussels, oysters, with longevities that can span up to 100-fold differences between species). The large variety of possible comparisons among species, and the recent development by researchers of tissue banks and other resources, suggest that further coordination of these efforts should be worthwhile. In addition to comparative studies, an extension of the bestiary currently used is likely to occur. This will include both simple invertebrates amenable to genetic manipulations and screenings, as well as vertebrate species that should facilitate the transition towards translation into humans. Coordinating activities relevant to current models being developed, such as canines and additional non-human primates is encouraged.
5. Translation of basic research into effective medicine: The rapid increase in our understanding of the aging process is leading to the rapid development of non-genetic strategies to prolong lifespan and healthspan in mice and other model species. This in turn puts pressure to further develop these applications for human trials, and it is therefore critical that the field develops a "health-oriented" branch of basic research. At the same time, it is also critical to develop integrated data analysis of these non-genetic interventions so as to properly assess both the risks and the likelihood of success when translating the research into higher species, including humans. Exploratory and cross-pollinating workshops, as well as short visits and interactions between scholars in both basic biology and gerontology are particularly encouraged.
For network activities that span multiple institutions, applicants are encouraged to describe in the Research Plan how those activities will be coordinated across institutions, and how the proposed activities will effectively engage with other relevant activities at participating institutions.
