NEW RESOURCES
Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) data from China, India, and Mexico: Summary Statistics. NIA BSR has posted tables are based on descriptive cross-national analyses of the HCAP data from China, India, and Mexico, including information about the characteristics of the sample, average self-rated health score, Activity of Daily Living (ADLs), receipt of informal care, and average scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The tables are here. More tables using HCAP data will be posted soon.
NIA BSR Global Aging pages update. NIA BSR has made substantial updates to our Global Aging webpages with input from pilot testers from the US and several LMICs. The latest content can help researchers around the world learn more about How to apply for a global aging research project and Frequently Asked Questions for Global Aging Applications in the Behavioral and Social Sciences, which are particularly tailored to international scientists who are new to NIH.
FUNDING AND NIA BSR SCIENTIFIC PRIORITIES
PAR-21-252 Emerging Global Leader Award (K43 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) NOFO. The purpose is to provide research support and protected time (three to five years) to an early career research scientist from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) who holds a junior faculty position at an LMIC academic or research institution. This NOFO invites applications from LMIC scientists from any health-related discipline who propose career development activities and a research project that is relevant to the health priorities of their country under the mentorship of LMIC and U.S. mentors. NOFO details can be found here. There is also an equivalent NOFO (PAR-21-251) where clinical trials are allowed which can be found here. The next application due date is November 3, 2023.
PAR-22-104 Chronic, Non-Communicable Diseases and Disorders Across the Lifespan: Fogarty International Research Training Award (NCD-LIFESPAN) (D43 Clinical Trial Optional). The purpose of this NOFO is to encourage applications for institutional research training programs in low-and middle-income countries focused on NCDs. Applications may be for collaborations between institutions in the U.S and an eligible LMIC or may involve just LMIC institutions in some cases. The proposed institutional research training program is expected to sustainably strengthen the NCD research capacity of the LMIC institutions. Details can be found here. The next application due date is July 15, 2024.
NOT-AG-23-027 Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Small Research Grants for Innovations in Healthy Longevity Research. This NOSI invites applications for small research grants (R03) that align with the goals of the National Academy of Medicine's Healthy Longevity Grand Challenge, as well as the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) interests in supporting research to promote a long healthspan and functional independence in both aging and Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). Projects should inform the overall mission of the Healthy Longevity Global Grand Challenge and include bold, new, and innovative ideas to extend health and function as people age. The NOSI, which includes examples of topic areas, can be found here. Submit applications for this initiative using the following notice of funding opportunity (NOFO): PA-20-200 NIH Small Research Grant Program (Parent R03 Clinical Trial Not Allowed). Application due dates are October 15, 2023 and February 16, 2024.
