The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering a grant for multi-site clinical validation of multimodal neuroimaging and biospecimen biomarkers. This grant’s core purpose is to enable the differential diagnosis of three or more similarly presenting neurodegenerative diseases, specifically including at least one Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD). Awarded investigators will be required to pursue the qualification of these biomarkers as therapeutic/drug development tools through the FDA’s Biomarker Qualification Program. This initiative aims to accelerate the adoption and utility of advanced diagnostic tools in clinical trials and treatment development for complex neurological conditions.
