This grant from the National Institutes of Health aims to support projects developing valid markers to assess aging mechanisms in humans, impacting the risk and progression of various aging conditions. Emphasis is placed on studying selected aging mechanisms, improving marker measurement properties, and understanding their variability and relationships in humans. Interdisciplinary research teams are encouraged to apply, covering expertise in various fields relevant to aging research. While the focus is on human markers, animal studies are permitted to aid in marker development. Applications are due by January 30, 2018, 12:00:00 AM EST.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications to develop valid markers to assess the activity of fundamental aging mechanisms in humans that may influence the risk and progression of multiple aging conditions. Projects are encouraged that focus on selected mechanism(s) that may regulate aging changes, assess multiple possible markers for these mechanisms, test methods to improve their measurement properties, characterize their variability among individuals of differing ages and within the same age cohort, and assess their relationships in humans to in vivo functions influenced by the mechanism(s) under study. It is strongly encouraged that each project includes an interdisciplinary research team with expertise, as needed, in the biology of their selected mechanism(s), biomedical aging research, clinical pathology including laboratory assays, imaging methods, human cohort studies, tissue banking, biorepository resources, and statistics. Though the principal focus of the initiative is on development of markers in humans, studies in laboratory animals may also be conducted when necessary for the development of human markers, and potential development of parallel laboratory animal markers of a given mechanism. |
