Description
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a non-competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer's disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD). NCRAD is an essential infrastructure for NIA-funded Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) research, providing a centralized biorepository that currently supports 74 studies. The non-competitive cooperative agreement NOFO intends to support the continuation of this central biospecimen repository for all NIA-funded dementia studies and its facilitation of sample sharing, as well as a biomarker assessment laboratory, which advances biomarker research with high quality control and harmonization with other laboratories.
