This upcoming opportunity from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), in collaboration with other NIH Institutes, aims to support research on palliative care across all age groups for individuals with serious illnesses and their caregivers. The initiative encourages studies that address disparities in access, quality, and utilization of palliative care. Both clinical trials (efficacy, effectiveness, implementation, and dissemination) and non-clinical research (such as health services, behavioral economics, or observational studies) are eligible. Awardees will join the NIH-funded Consortium for Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing in this field.
