Description
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) plans to launch a funding opportunity for interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding the complex biology underlying resilience to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD) risk. The initiative will focus on integrating epidemiologic, genomic, and mechanistic research—leveraging data-driven, systems-based approaches, including artificial intelligence and machine learning—to identify molecular and cellular determinants of resilience across diverse populations.
The program will support the generation of high-dimensional molecular data from brain and peripheral tissues, including longitudinal datasets, to enable dynamic modeling of resilience mechanisms and the discovery of molecular predictors of resilience. This notice is intended to give researchers time to build collaborations and develop responsive projects.
