Description

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, with the National Institute on Aging, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit research applications on stroke events causing cognitive impairment and dementia in post-stroke populations in the U.S. This research aims to understand clinical factors that synergize with stroke to result in these outcomes. The NOFO will use the U19 activity code and encourages collaborative investigations combining expertise in stroke, cognitive impairment, dementia, genetics, neuroimaging, biostatistics, and longitudinal studies. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice allows potential applicants time to develop collaborations and projects. Only those who received a grant award under RFA-NS-19-012 are eligible to apply in this limited competition.
