OpportunityTitle: Preclinical Studies to Characterize the Impact of Toxicants on Brain Aging and Alzheimer&apos;s Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) (U01 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 central goal of this funding initiative is to evaluate the molecular, pathologic and functional consequences of major toxicants known to be associated with elevated AD/ADRD risk, in mouse models of Late Onset AD (LOAD). Projects funded through this program will examine the consequences of early and mid-life exposure on late-life brain health by conducting cross-sectional/longitudinal multi-modal phenotyping (molecular, biochemical, pathologic and behavioral) of mouse models of LOAD, and the impact of genetic diversity and sex-differences on exposure-related AD outcomes.
