Check out NIA’s new cleared concepts for aging research
Assoc. Dir. for Scientific Strategy, Innovation, and Management,
Office of the Director (OD).
NIA recently posted our latest cleared concepts for aging research that were approved by our National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) earlier this month. Researchers with an eye toward future scientific endeavors will want to review these and plan accordingly in the likely case they’ll evolve into future funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). While a scientific idea making it to the cleared concept stage doesn’t guarantee an award mechanism or funding allocation, many of NIA’s cleared concepts have indeed, historically, become FOAs published in the NIH Guide.
For those who are inspired by the following list, it’s the right time to begin mapping out a plan for a successful application, including consideration of needed resources, staffing, and expertise. NIA’s new, cleared concepts are:
- Cell Specific Impact of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Aging and AD/ADRD
- Coordinating Center for the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers
- Cytosolic DNA Sensing as an Integrating Point of the Aging Hallmarks
- Health Equity and the Cost of Novel Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
- Inter-Organelle Communication as a Platform to Interrogate the Interactions of Hallmarks of Aging
- Lipids in Brain Aging and AD/ADRD
- Mapping Interconnectivity Among Hallmarks of Aging Under Lifespan Modifications
- Mechanisms of Brain Hypoperfusion in AD/ADRD
- Noncoding RNAs in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
- Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Studies of mTOR Inhibitors on Aging-Related Indications
- Resources to Promote Coordination and Collaboration Across Deeply Phenotyped Longitudinal Behavioral and Social Studies of Aging
- Screening for Cognitive Impairment: Decision-Making
- Understanding Place-Based Health Inequalities in Mid-Life
- Understanding the Role of Bilingualism in Cognitive Reserve and Resilience in Aging and AD/ADRD
