National Institute on Aging Grant: Enhancing Solid Organ Transplantation for Older Donors and Recipients

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering a grant to fund research on solid organ transplants (SOT) in older individuals. This grant aims to support studies on donor and recipient selection, improved management for older SOT recipients, immunology in older transplant patients, and healthcare disparities in older SOT recipients. The research will focus on improving access to transplantation, organ allocation, and utilization, as well as enhancing graft survival and outcomes for older individuals undergoing SOT. Research proposals should contribute to advancing knowledge in immunobiology related to aging and transplantation. Closing date for applications is January 7, 2016.

Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institutes of Health, invites applications that propose basic, clinical, translational, epidemiological and outcomes research on solid organ transplant (SOT) in older persons. Research may focus on, but is not limited to 1) appropriate selection of older SOT donors and recipients; 2) improved management of older SOT recipients; 3) immunology and immunosuppression pertaining to older SOT patients; and 4) healthcare disparities, utilization and costs of SOT in older patients. Research supported by this initiative is expected to enhance knowledge of immunobiology in aging and transplantation, and to provide evidence-based guidance to improve access to transplantation, organ allocation and utilization, graft survival, and short- and long-term outcomes of SOT in older persons.
