What should I do if I cannot find a Funding Opportunity Announcement dealing with my topic?

Answer:

Most NIH applications are investigator-initiated, not responding to a specific, tailored FOA.  Since the grants.gov website requires every applicant to enter an FOA number, investigator-initiated applications typically cite one of the “parent” FOAs, which can be found here: http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/funding/funding_program.htm (in the chart called Research Grants, look for the "See parent FOA" link for each grant type (e.g., R01, etc.))

When should I contact an NIA Program Officer?

Before you submit your application

After you receive your Summary Statement and Impact score

During the award:

  • When you have findings with public impact
  • Following natural disasters or other emergencies that will affect your research progress
  • When issues arise from population tracking enrollment

NIH-supported study finds U.S. dementia care costs as high as $215 billion in 2010

The costs of caring for people with dementia in the United States in 2010 were between $159 billion to $215 billion, and those costs could rise dramatically with the increase in the numbers of older people in coming decades, according to estimates by researchers at RAND Corp. and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
