Single Source: Post-Stroke Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID) in the United States (U19 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This opportunity is a non-competitive funding opportunity intended to fund a single award for research on post-stroke vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in the United States. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is announcing its intent to issue a single source cooperative agreement award to Massachusetts General Hospital to support the renewal of the Post-Stroke Vascular Cognitive Impairment & Dementia (VCID) program. The award will enable completion of the scientific aims initiated under the original U19 cooperative agreement and advance national priorities described in the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease. Key aspects of the project include: • Research on the specific subsets of stroke events that cause cognitive impairment and dementia in post-stroke populations • Elucidation of mechanisms linking stroke to subsequent cognitive impairment and dementia • Completion of the scientific aims initiated under the original U19 cooperative agreement • Advancement of national priorities described in the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease
