Complex Integrated Multi-Component Projects in Aging Research (U19 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for complex integrated multi-component projects in aging research. The proposed projects should have a unifying hypothesis or theme and involve a multidisciplinary team of investigators. The applications will be evaluated based on their potential to advance understanding of the research question. • The proposed projects should have multiple highly integrated components. • The applications should demonstrate how the individual components will be synergistically integrated. • The structure and approach of proposed projects will vary depending on the hypotheses under investigation. • The grant opportunity will utilize the U19 activity code. • The NIA encourages investigators with expertise and insights into this area of aging research to consider applying for this new NOFO.
