Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications to establish an NIA Coordination Center to facilitate and support the Replication Phase of the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Sequencing Project (ADSP) activities. The Coordinating Center for the Genetics and Genomics of Alzheimer's Disease (CGAD) will serve as the focal point for ADSP replication phase joint data analysis, harmonization, and sharing. The FOA is intended to support a major component of the full range of analysis for the Replication Phase of the ADSP. The spectrum of the Center's activities comprises a multidisciplinary attack on AD in keeping with NIA's programmatic needs. The Center will serve as a national resource for the specific purpose of identifying potential avenues for therapeutic approaches and prevention of the disease.
