Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) and Coordinating Center (P30) |
|
|
Purpose –NIA invites applications from qualified institutions for the creation or continuation of Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs). The RCMAR mission is to build infrastructure to improve the health and well-being of older diverse populations by reducing health disparities. RCMARs focus research upon social and behavioral mechanisms to improve health and physical and cognitive function. Scientific/Research Contact: |

Demonstration Projects for Systems Biology of Aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (R01) |
|
|
Purpose – NIA invites applications to employ systems biology to generate new insights about the molecular mechanisms of aging. The application may propose to develop a new interaction network for yeast or yeast aging, or employ existing networks (although the former may have advantages in terms of discovery); network construction or analytical algorithms should already be in the ‘toolbox’ of a Principal Investigator submitting the application because de novo development of such algorithms will not be supported by this FOA.

Human Cell Reprogramming for Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Research (R21) |
|
|
Purpose – The objective of this FOA is to support the development of human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and other reprogrammed cells for aging and Alzheimer’s disease modeling. The molecular and functional characterization of aged or Alzheimer’s disease phenotypes in specific cell types derived from human iPS and other reprogrammed cells is expected to provide proof-of-concept evidence that human reprogrammed cells can be valid cell models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.

|
Purpose – These initiatives invite applications that will help to sustain and promote the research careers of clinically trained individuals who are pursuing research careers in aging. The numbers of physicians and other clinically trained individuals who are committing to and sustaining independent research careers in the biomedical sciences remain inadequate to address the opportunities for translational research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and groundbreaking basic research being generated by advances in genetics, biomedical engineering, and other life sciences.

|
|
Purpose – This initiative invites applications from institutions/organizations that propose to investigate the reciprocal interactions of the processes of sleep and circadian regulation and function with behavioral and social environment processes. In spite of its vital nature, the mechanisms by which social environment factors affect sleep behavior patterns have not been studied systematically, especially within the context of individual vulnerabilities and resilience.

|
Purpose – These initiatives encourage grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to develop research on single cell biology to enhance the understanding of the mechanisms of normal aging and of age-related diseases. Applications using -omics technologies, imaging, optofluidic platforms, mass spectroscopy, whole genome sequencing, and other tools and technologies at the single cell level are encouraged since it is expected that the single cell approach will improve the determination of unique and biologically significant properties of tissues and organs during the aging process.
