The National Institute on Aging is offering a grant for research projects aiming to develop networks of aging and utilizing lifespan as an observable phenotype. The grant seeks to determine changes in aging networks across lifespans and generate hypotheses using systems biology. Research must focus on Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Caenorhabditis elegans and involve experts in systems biology and the biology of aging. Applications should address fundamental questions in aging biology more effectively with systems biology. Deadline for submission is October 7, 2016.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages research projects with the potential to develop networks of aging using lifespan as the observable phenotype. In addition to constructing aging networks, two further important goals of this FOA are: 1. Determining what properties of an aging network change across the lifespan; 2. Using aging networks to generate and test hypotheses about fundamental questions in the biology of aging that are more likely to be answered using systems biology than by single-gene approaches. Research proposed in applications responding to this FOA will utilize either the single-cell organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae or the multicellular organism Caenorhabditis elegans, both of which have been used extensively for genetic and molecular studies on aging.Applications must include a contact PD/PI who is an expert in systems biology and other PD/PI(s) should have expertise in the biology of aging and/or necessary high-throughput technologies using the laboratory organism for study (S. cerevisiae or C. elegans, only). |
