Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages investigator-initiated applications addressing the epidemiology of Alzheimers disease (AD) as well as protective factors for cognitive health and resilience. All projects in cognitive epidemiology and genetics/genomics relevant to AD are welcome. NIA especially encourages projects or revisions to projects that propose: augmenting existing longitudinal cohort studies; enabling precision medicine for AD; enhancing the power of multi-ethnic cohort studies; exploring trends in the risk of AD and their explanation via putative risk and protective factors; collecting and sequencing DNA samples from well-characterized cases and controls; electronic archiving of cohort studies; harmonizing complex data sets relevant to AD; and harmonizing dementia assessment to enhance cross-national comparisons.
