NIH Grant: Environmental Exposure in Neurodegenerative Disease Research (R21)

The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant to fund research investigating the impact of environmental exposures on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s. This grant aims to generate feasibility data for new concepts and technologies to advance the understanding of the role of environmental factors in disease development. The research conducted under this grant will align with the goals of the NIH strategic plan. Applicants can apply for this grant using the R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award mechanism and should note that it runs concurrently with another related funding opportunity under the R01 mechanisms. Application deadline is November 1, 2013.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The purpose of this FOA is to stimulate research on the role of environmental exposure in neurodegenerative disease (ND) by developing feasibility data for new concepts or by adapting new technologies, tools and methods of use for studies in neurodegenerative diseases. The emphasis for this FOA would be especially focused on Alzheimers (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinson’s (PD) to stimulate advancement of neurodegenerative research by better establishing the importance of environmental exposure in disease causation in accordance with the goals of the new strategic plan. (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/strategicplan/strategicplantrifold20122017_508.pdf).This FOA will use the NIH R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award mechanism and runs in parallel with another FOA, RFA-ES-13-006 which encourages applications under the R01 mechanisms.
