OpportunityTitle: Cell-Specific Impact of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation in Aging and AD/ADRD (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research to identify cell-specific mechanisms in biomolecular condensate (BMC) formation and function, providing novel information for the role BMCs play in diverse cell types in the context of aging and neurobiology of Alzheimers disease (AD) or AD-related dementias (ADRD). This research should enhance our understanding of the cell-specific mechanistic role of BMCs in aging and AD/ADRD and serve as the foundation for more comprehensive etiological studies that might lead to the development of future BMC-based therapies for age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
