The National Institute on Aging offers a grant for research focusing on the specific role of aging biology in the development, etiology, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. This grant encourages applications that utilize geroscience principles to address how aging influences Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers are encouraged to explore the mechanistic role of aging in Alzheimer’s by testing various hallmarks of aging biology. Proposals solely focusing on aging biology or solely on Alzheimer’s disease will not be considered responsive to this opportunity. The closing date for applications is July 2, 2019.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications proposing research on the specific role of aging biology in the development, etiology and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is by far the main risk factor for most chronic diseases, a fact recognized by the field of geroscience. Recent advances in the fields of basic aging biology and geroscience now allow researchers to address mechanistically the role of aging in Alzheimers disease. Applications that make use of geroscience principles and test the role of different hallmarks of aging biology are specifically appropriate, while those focused solely on aging biology, or solely on Alzheimers disease will be deemed unresponsive to the FOA. |
