About this opportunity

The National Institute on Aging intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit R01 grant applications for research on the cerebellum's contributions to cognitive and affective functions in healthy aging, Alzheimer's disease, and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias; applications are not being solicited at this time, but notice is provided to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, state and local governments, tribal governments (federally recognized and other), independent school districts, housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions.

The NOFO welcomes a mix of approaches including basic human and animal model studies, secondary data analyses of existing aging and AD/ADRD datasets, and studies examining the cerebellum as a potential target for interventions to promote cognitive reserve or prevent and delay AD/ADRD onset. Research should address the physiology and neuroanatomy of the cerebellum in healthy aging and in the context of AD/ADRD. Evaluation will assess scientific merit and significance, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, facility adequacy, budget justification, and relevance to program objectives. The program operates under Assistance Listing 93.866 (Aging Research). Standard NIH grant terms apply: R01 awards typically support projects for up to five years, with review and award timelines of six to nine months from application to funding decision. No specific award ceiling or floor is stated for this forecast.

Forecast synopsis

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the cerebellum's contributions to cognitive and affective functions in healthy aging as well as in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (ADRD). This NOFO seeks studies to address the need for improved understanding of the physiology and neuroanatomy of the cerebellum in these processes in the context of healthy aging and AD/ADRD. This NOFO welcomes a mix of approaches including basic human and animal model studies, secondary data analyses of existing aging and AD/ADRD datasets, as well as studies examining the cerebellum as a potential target for interventions to promote cognitive reserve and/or prevent and delay the onset of AD/ADRD.

Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO intends to utilize the R01 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of aging research are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
