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 pilots, short term training opportunities (such as intensive workshops, summer institutes, or visiting scholar programs) and dissemination activities to encourage growth and development in these interdisciplinary areas.
