The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications to develop or renew a Research and Development Center (P30) to advance aging research in demography, economics, and related interdisciplinary population-based social science areas, including those with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). This NOFO will use a phased approach which provides 2 years of support for initial development activities and 4 years of support for expanded activities. The objectives of the Demography and Economics of Aging (D&E Centers) (P30) Program are to:
1) Seed new and innovative lines of aging research in demography, economics, and related interdisciplinary population-based social science areas.
2) Integrate approaches that address the disproportionate distribution of health within and/or across populations, including with respect to those defined as Health Disparity Priority Populations in the NIA Health Disparities Research Framework.
3) Incorporate strategies that will identify and engage scholars across disciplines, career stages, and institutions.
D&E Centers shall support the infrastructure and pilot data necessary for research and program development in Center-identified population-based social science aging research themes by investigators within an institution and/or across domestic institutions.
