Description: -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose translational research in the overlapping areas of human aging and cancer, linking basic and clinical research relevant to the care of older cancer patients through both  bench to bedside  and  bedside to bench  approaches.&#239;&#191;&#189;Ultimately, information from the research supported by this initiative should improve the health and well-being of elderly patients at risk for, or diagnosed with, cancer and decrease the functional impairment and morbidity associated with cancer in this population. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the Research Project Grant (R01) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-08-231, that encourages applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism.-Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards.
