Description

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for research on the cerebellum's contributions to cognitive and affective functions in healthy aging as well as in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (ADRD). The NOFO seeks studies to improve understanding of the physiology and neuroanatomy of the cerebellum in these processes. It welcomes a mix of approaches including basic human and animal model studies, secondary data analyses, and studies examining the cerebellum as a potential target for interventions to promote cognitive reserve or delay AD/ADRD onset. Applications are not being solicited at this time; the notice is to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations and projects.
