Description: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites studies employing secondary analysis of existing cohorts, data sets and biorepositories to explore clinically related issues on aging changes influencing health across the lifespan, including diseases and disabilities in older persons. Use of cohorts that are linked to electronic health record systems and/or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative data are especially welcome. This FOA will support exploratory analysis of innovative hypotheses in clinical aging research and/or to inform design of future epidemiologic or human intervention studies. Costs related to data harmonization, archival activities and/or assay refinement may be included in the budget, as long as they are pertinent to the specific aims of the proposed project.
