| Description:: | Military personnel who suffer from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) face an increased risk for developing several long-term health problems. These conditions include Alzheimer’s-like dementia, aggression, memory loss, depression, and symptoms similar to those of other neurological diseases. Research funded through the FY13 Convergence Science Research Award (CSRA) Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity is intended to address the Militarily Relevant Peer Reviewed Alzheimer’s Disease Research Programs (MRPRA’s) Overarching Challenges 1 and 2. (See Program Announcement for details.) Research funded through the FY13 CSRA is intended to generate research resources, tools, or validate research for professionals and practitioners in health sciences related to the MRPRAs mission. Applications which consider, characterize, or explore susceptibility factors (e.g., genetic, neuropsychological, or proteomic risk factors) of individuals to TBI and subsequent Alzheimer’s Disease are strongly encouraged. The research impact is intended to benefit the military community, while also meeting a public purpose for the benefit of the civilian community. |
