This grant opportunity supports the establishment of a U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory to coordinate a telomere length (TL) methods comparison study. The network will facilitate cross-validation between protocols and samples, establish best practices for TL research, organize meetings, support the methods study, disseminate results, and connect the broader field through the Telomere Research Network (TRN). The TRN will advance interdisciplinary research on telomeres as indicators of environmental exposures, psychosocial stress, and disease susceptibility.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement invites applications for a U24 Telomere Research Network/Collaboratory. This U24 will coordinate activities of a telomere length (TL) methods comparison study involving multiple labs supported under U01 awards made in response to FOA (RFA-AG-19-023) to address the need for cross-validation between protocols and samples for establishing best practices for population-based TL research. The U24 will serve as the central resource for the organization of meetings and other activities of this coordinated program, including support for the methods study, dissemination of its results and resultant recommendations. It will also develop and foster an extended Telomere Research Network (TRN) connecting the broader field through a flexible range of activities that will advance an interdisciplinary research agenda on telomeres and activities directly associated with TL maintenance as sentinels of environmental exposures, psychosocial stress, and disease susceptibility. |
