NIH is offering a grant to establish a collaborative network focused on researching deprescribing techniques for older adults with multiple chronic conditions. The grant aims to address research gaps in deprescribing medications, optimize care, and improve health outcomes for older adults. The network will tackle scientific, safety, ethical, and logistical challenges of deprescribing trials while exploring topics like risks and benefits of target medications. This grant supports the network’s establishment, collaboration building, and infrastructure development over a 5-year period. Closing date for applications is October 18, 2018.

| Description: | Deprescribing, the cessation of long-term therapy under clinician supervision, is a fundamental technique of geriatric practice and palliative medicine to address inappropriate medication use and/or polypharmacy common among older adults with multimorbidity. Important research gaps remain whose resolution may improve approaches to deprescribing and may improve health outcomes by optimizing the goal-directed care of older adults with multiple chronic conditions. This FOA is intended to support a collaborative network to advance scientific research into techniques and outcomes of deprescribing medications for prevention and treatment of older adults with multiple chronic conditions. This network should address the scientific, safety, ethical, and logistical challenges of deprescribing trials and may incorporate focused attention to other relevant and well-justified topics, such as the risks and benefits of target medications, or alternative approaches that may substitute for the deprescribed drugs. This FOA will support the establishment and initial operations of a network over the 5-year grant period including development of collaborations, resources, and infrastructure. |
