OpportunityTitle: The Biological Mechanisms of Metformin Effects on Aging and Longevity (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: This FOA invites applications on novel studies of the molecular mechanisms underlying metformins effects on aging and longevity. The goal of this FOA is to support applications that will lead to an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms that determine the effects of metformin, either beneficial or detrimental, in relation to aging and longevity. Research supported by this FOA should lead to new insights and better understanding of metformins effects on aging and aging-related diseases.
