OpportunityTitle: Human Biospecimen Resources for Aging Research (R03)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.     Applicants must include a letter from the Principal Investigator(s) of the studies containing the biospecimens of interest, confirming the availability of the biospecimens for the proposed project.
Description: -The purpose of this announcement is to disseminate information about available human biospecimen resources for age-related studies, and promote independent use of existing human biospecimen resources through collaborative and other arrangements with the studies that collect biospecimens. Websites for the participating studies are accessed via the Virtual Repository (http://www.nia.nih.gov/ResearchInformation/ScientificResources/Repository.htm ). -NIA is interested in aging-related research that integrates biomarker analyses with the study of normal aging, age-associated diseases, and behavioral and psychosocial data. -The R03 mechanism is being used to promote pilot studies using existing human biospecimen collections, to open new avenues of research.
