This grant offered by the National Institute on Aging is intended to support U01 Methods Comparison Projects to enhance telomere research methods. The projects will focus on determining the relationship between different telomere length methods, developing best practice recommendations for TL measurement, and enhancing the use of telomere measurement in population-based health research. Applicants are expected to collaborate with other labs to validate their methods and develop recommendations for assay protocols. This grant opportunity aligns with the U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory award. Visit the NIA website for updates and additional information.

| Description: | This U01 Cooperative Agreement Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support 3-4 U01 Methods Comparison Projects to serve three main functions: (1) to conduct a joint effort among telomere researchers to determine the relationship between different telomere length (TL) methods, inter-assay variability, and the factors that influence results; (2) Contribute to development of best practice recommendations for assay protocols for TL measurement for different types of studies, with a focus on population-based health research, including biological sample collection, storage, and processing; laboratory methods; data analysis; and reporting requirements; and (3) Repurpose existing methods or develop new methods to enhance the use of TL measurement. The U01 Methods Comparison Projects will be expected to conduct cross-validation involving other labs (3-4) supported under this cooperative agreement to develop a set of recommendations for assay protocols for telomere measurement for different types of studies and development of best practice guidelines for population-based TL research. This will be done in coordination with the U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory award made in response to FOA (RFA-AG-19-022). Please refer to the NIA website regularly for updates, frequently asked questions (FAQs), and other announcements related to this FOA and the companion FOA. |
