OpportunityTitle: Dynamic Interactions between Systemic or  Non-Neuronal Systems and the Brain in Aging and in Alzheimers Disease (R01)
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: This FOA encourages research projects on the role of aging-related changes in systemic, peripheral, and/or non-neuronal factors individually or in combination to the pathogenesis, presentation, and/or progression of Alzheimers disease (AD). The goal of this FOA is to support innovative multidisciplinary research that will integrate the AD science with the basic biology of aging and clinical aging research. Successful studies may identify critical processes and pathophysiological pathways to inform novel prevention or intervention strategies for AD and other dementias of aging. Successful applications will likely involve a broad range of expertise including the biology of aging, geriatrics/gerontology, neurodegenerative diseases, and other clinical and translational specialties focused on systemic diseases or specific tissue/organ pathophysiology to identify interrelationships among peripheral systems and the brain.
