The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering a cooperative agreement (U01) grant for the continuation of the Long Life Family Study (LLFS). This grant is for research focused on understanding the familial transmission and aggregation of exceptional longevity and healthy survival to advanced age. The study aims to characterize these phenomena through various phenotypic measures and to identify potential genetic factors contributing to exceptional survival. Initially, five awards were made, comprising four study centers and one data management and coordinating center. The NIA intends to commit substantial funding, with total costs projected at $8.4 million for FY2010, $6.0 million for FY2011, and $5.2 million for FY2012, to support up to five awards.

| Description: | Purpose. This limited competition FOA is to continue the Long Life Family Study (LLFS). The LLFS was designed to determine the degree and patterns of familial transmission and aggregation of exceptional longevity and healthy survival to advanced age as characterized by a variety of phenotypic measures, with a further goal of also understanding potential genetic factors that contribute to exceptional survival. Five awards, to four study centers and one data management and coordinating center, were made in response to RFA-AG-03-004. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement (U01) grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NIA intends to commit $8.4 million total costs beginning in FY2010, and out year total costs up to $6.0 million in FY2011 and out year total costs up to $5.2 million in FY2012 to fund up to five awards. |
