About this opportunity
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is forecasting a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit applications supporting the Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN), a cooperative agreement mechanism under Assistance Listing 93.866 (Aging Research); applications are not currently being solicited, and no hard deadline is present.
The RCCN renewal will support continuation of current high-value collaborative activities across NIA's seven research centers programs while encouraging new initiatives including special pilot funding programs, faculty exchange programs particularly for new and early-stage investigators, expanded networking and collaboration tools, and enhanced mentoring infrastructure. The program aims to leverage NIA's substantial investments by fostering interdisciplinary efforts in aging research through collaborations and networking across the research center portfolio.
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and local governments, county governments, city and township governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and non-federally recognized), Indian housing authorities, special district governments, independent school districts, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, small businesses, for-profit organizations, federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based and community-based organizations, and regional organizations.
The cooperative agreement will use the U24 activity code. The NIA encourages investigators with expertise in aging research and research networks to begin developing meaningful collaborations and responsive projects in advance of NOFO publication. Applications will undergo initial scientific review by non-NIH scientists and secondary review by the National Advisory Council on Aging. Evaluation will assess scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy, investigator competency, facility adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives.
