NIH NIA Forecasted Funding for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer's Resilience

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is planning a funding opportunity to advance interdisciplinary research on resilience to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute on Aging (NIA) - Focus of Opportunity: - Interdisciplinary research to understand molecular mechanisms of resilience to AD/ADRD - Integration of epidemiologic, genomic, and mechanistic research - Use of data-driven, systems-based approaches, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) - Generation and analysis of high-dimensional molecular data from brain and peripheral tissues, including longitudinal data - Emphasis on dynamic modeling and identification of molecular predictors of resilience across diverse populations - Notable Requirements: - Projects must leverage advanced computational methods (AI/ML) - Research should include diverse populations and longitudinal data - No specific products, OEMs, or vendors are identified - Opportunity is forecasted; applications are not yet being solicited - Eligible applicants include government, educational, nonprofit, and business organizations - No product or service line items are specified at this stage

Description

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) plans to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support research integrating epidemiologic, genomic, and mechanistic approaches using data-driven, systems-based methods including AI and machine learning. The goal is to discover molecular and cellular determinants of resilience to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias across diverse populations. The initiative will fund projects generating high-dimensional molecular data from brain and peripheral tissues, including longitudinal data, to model resilience mechanisms and identify molecular predictors. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows potential applicants time to prepare for future submissions under the U01 activity code.
