The National Institute on Aging is offering a grant for research to investigate the brain glymphatic system and lymphatic systems in aging and Alzheimer’s disease. The research aims to enhance the understanding of how these systems change in normal and pathological brains, exploring potential implications for neurological disorders linked to immune system dysfunction like Alzheimer’s disease. Applications are welcome until February 9, 2017.

| Description: | The goal of this FOA is to support research that will lead to a greater understanding of complex mechanisms by which the brain glymphatic system and meningeal and peripheral lymphatic systems change in normal and pathological brains. This knowledge is critical to determine whether a functional impairment or disruption of these systems may be involved in neurological disorders that are associated with immune system dysfunction, such as Alzheimers disease. |
