OpportunityTitle: Mechanistic Basis of TDP-43-dependent Pathobiology in Common Dementias (R01 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 purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support hypothesis-testing research on the systems, cellular and/or molecular mechanisms and consequences of TDP-43 proteinopathy in common dementias using whole animal models, animal/human cellular model systems, as well as postmortem tissue and other biospecimens. Research on TDP-43 proteinopathy in common dementias, including the clinical syndrome of Alzheimer&apos;s disease (AD), multiple etiology dementias (MED) and related dementia syndromes is the focus of this FOA. In addition, comparative studies of TDP-43 proteinopathy in common and rare neurodegenerative diseases, as well as during normal aging and in pre-symptomatic disease stages are within scope.
