Dementia Care and Caregiver Support Intervention Research - Stages II - V

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite research applications focused on the development of behavioral interventions for persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) and/or their care partners or caregivers. The awards made through this NOFO will support a milestone-driven planning phase for up to two years, with possible transition to a clinical trial phase pending successful completion of the required milestones. • The intervention(s) to be tested as part of this NOFO are expected to be in a developed and testable form, with Stage I activities completed prior to the proposed work. • Applications are not being solicited at this time, but notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. • The NOFO intends to utilize the R61/R33 activity code. • Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of aging research are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
