RFA-AG-18-027: Exosomes: From Biogenesis and Secretion to the Early Pathogenesis of Alz... - 0 views

  •  
    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, degenerative disorder of the brain and is the most common form of dementia of the elderly. AD is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Prominent behavioral manifestations of AD include memory impairments and decline in other cognitive domains. Currently, at least five million Americans at age 65 and older suffer from AD, and it is projected that the number of new cases of AD will double by 2025. AD is clearly becoming a national health crisis affecting Americans across all regions of the country, and the total annual payments of health care for people with AD are projected to be more than $1 trillion in 2050. In response to this looming public health crisis, the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) was signed into law in 2011. The primary research goal of the NAPA is to prevent the onset of and develop effective treatments for AD by 2025.  As part of the strategic planning process to implement NAPA, NIH AD Research Summits were held in 2012 and 2015 and identified research priorities and strategies needed to accelerate basic research and the development of effective therapies. A FY2017 Alzheimer's disease bypass budget with milestones was published in 2015 to establish research and funding priorities in response to the NAPA and the AD Research Summits (https://www.nia.nih.gov/alzheimers/bypass-budget-FY 2017). This funding opportunity announcement was developed in response to the recommendations of the AD Research Summits to support interdisciplinary research to understand the heterogeneity and multifactorial etiology of AD.

RFA-AG-18-022: Understanding the Effects of ApoE2 on the Interaction between Aging and ... - 0 views

  •  
    This FOA invites applications on descriptive, basic and translational studies of APOE2 to delineate the functional effects of ApoE2 on healthy aging of the brain and other tissues. The primary focus is on the "ApoE2-Aging-AD" relationship and the mechanistic effects of the protective variant on aging and potential interaction/crosstalk between tissues in the aging process and AD. These studies are expected to generate new mechanistic insights that involve brain and/or other organs and assist in the identification of potential prognostic and diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for AD and other age-related cognitive disorders. Eventually, the findings from these studies could lead to translational research opportunities not only to prevent or delay the onset of AD, but also to protect against multiple age-related conditions.

  •  
    The goal of this initiative is to support the identification, validation and manipulation of neural circuits that underlie cognitive, emotional, and social processes impacted in mental illnesses including alcohol use disorder and other substance abuse. The initiative is focused on probing circuit mechanisms underlying neuro-psychiatrically relevant behavior through studies in non-human primates. This initiative is intended to complement existing institute-funded preclinical investigation of circuits which have often focused on smaller brains.

  •  
    The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications to pursue invasive neural recording studies focused on mental health-relevant questions. Invasive neural recordings provide an unparalleled window into the human brain to explore the neural circuitry and neural dynamics underlying complex moods, emotions, cognitive functions, and behaviors with high spatial and temporal resolution. Additionally, the ability to stimulate, via the same electrodes, allows for direct causal tests by modulating network dynamics. This funding opportunity aims to target a gap in the scientific knowledge of neural circuit function related to mental health disorders. Researchers should target specific questions suited to invasive recording modalities that have high translational potential. Development of new technologies and therapies are outside the scope of this FOA.

  •  
    The goal of this FOA is to establish functional genotype-phenotype relationships of genetic variants, suspected of altering the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), in neural cells using human induced pluripotent stem cells or other human cell reprogramming approaches. The causal linkage of AD-associated genetic variants identified in genome-wide association studies and genome sequencing studies to molecular and biological cell phenotypes in human neural cells is expected to give greater insight into molecular targets contributing to the etiology of AD. Studies of human genetics in human cells are essential to understanding the etiology of AD.
