Description
This opportunity is a non-competitive, single-source cooperative agreement from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is intended to fund the renewal of the Post-Stroke Vascular Cognitive Impairment & Dementia (VCID) program, supporting the completion of scientific aims initiated under the original U19 cooperative agreement (RFA-NS-19-012). The program is a multi-site clinical research initiative aimed at elucidating the mechanisms by which stroke leads to subsequent cognitive impairment and dementia, advancing national priorities in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
