This grant from the National Institute on Aging aims to support a research project focused on utilizing integrative omics approaches to identify profiles associated with protection against aging conditions for enhanced therapeutics development. The grant will fund interdisciplinary teams conducting multi-omic analysis on individuals with characteristics of healthy aging, utilizing existing phenotypic data, animal models, computational tools, and bioinformatics approaches. The goal is to identify molecules associated with healthy aging and exchange data with related NIH initiatives for further analysis and collaboration. Closing date for applications is Nov 14, 2018.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a phased innovation initiative to facilitate multi-omics/integrative approaches to identify omics profiles associated with protection against multiple aging conditions, with exceptional health span, and to refine strategies for utilizing these profiles for therapeutics development. Specifically, a phased innovation cooperative agreement mechanism (UH2/UH3) involving an interdisciplinary research team will be used to support a single project that will conduct integrative analysis of person -specific multiple omics measurements (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) generated across multiple tissues ; the multi-omic profiling should be conducted on individuals from extensively phenotyped cohorts with substantial numbers of long-lived individuals with characteristics of exceptionally healthy aging and appropriate controls. It will also: 1) harmonize and extend the use of existing phenotypic data from these studies to apply phenomics to transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic findings, 2) select animal model species or strains with varying life spans for comparative omics studies and identify potential determinants of species differences in longevity and rates of disease development, 3) develop appropriate computational and analytical tools to identify omics profiles associated with exceptional longevity and healthy aging, 4) apply translational bioinformatics approaches and leverage existing publicly available drug signatures databases to identify molecules that could produce profiles associated with exceptionally healthy aging and 5) exchange data with other NIH/NIA-supported related omics activities and other public-private partnerships (e.g., Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed), Accelerating Medicines Partnership- Alzheimers Disease (AMP-AD) for data harmonization and analysis. |
