This upcoming NIH grant will fund large, multidisciplinary aging research projects with multiple integrated components addressing a common research question, encouraging collaboration across institutions.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: May 25, 2026 (Forecasted)
Funding Amounts: Large-scale, multi-component cooperative agreements (U19); award ceiling not specified.
Summary: Supports complex, multidisciplinary research projects with multiple integrated components addressing key questions in aging.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; application details and funding specifics will be updated upon NOFO release.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to announce a funding opportunity for large-scale, complex research projects focused on aging. These projects should consist of multiple, highly integrated components unified by a common research question relevant to aging science. The program is designed to support multidisciplinary teams—either within a single institution or across a consortium—that demonstrate strong coordination and synergy among project components, advancing a unified hypothesis or theme in aging research.
Applications are not being solicited at this time; this advance notice is provided to allow researchers to develop collaborations and prepare responsive, integrated projects. The funding mechanism will be the U19 cooperative agreement, suitable for complex, multi-project research programs.
