National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences: Research Grant for Linking Environmental Exposure to Alzheimer’s Disease (R01)

This grant opportunity aims to fund research projects that establish a connection between environmental exposure and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Projects can range from basic mechanistic studies to human-based research, focusing on understanding how exposure interacts with processes like inflammation and genetic factors implicated in AD. Aligned with the NIEHS Strategic Plan, this funding supports research objectives and utilizes the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. Applicants can also consider applying under the R21 mechanism through a parallel FOA, RFA-ES-13-007. The closing date for this grant opportunity is November 1, 2013.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support research establishing a link between environmental exposure and the risk for Alzheimers disease (AD). Research is encouraged ranging from basic mechanistic exposure studies to human-based studies. This new effort seeks to promote work to further the understanding of the combined roles of exposure and processes implicated in AD such as inflammation and genetic susceptibility. This FOA is intended to support the broad research goals of the 2012-2017 Strategic Plan for NIEHS (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/strategicplan/strategicplantrifold20122017_508.pdf).This FOA will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with another FOA, RFA-ES-13-007, which encourages applications under the R21 mechanisms.
