MiamiOH OARS on 21 Nov 17The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to elucidate the etiology and pathogenesis of the neurocognitive complications associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with the ultimate goal of informing future strategies to mitigate the risk of these complications. Applications should propose expansions of ongoing human studies of well characterized T2D cohorts or cohorts comparing T2D with non-diabetic populations. Such expansions might include the addition of comprehensive neurocognitive measures (e.g., cognitive testing, neuroimaging, and biomarkers), clinical measures (e.g., insulin resistance, HbA1c), and/or collection of data on other risk factors (e.g., diet, obesity, micro- and macro-vascular disease, inflammation). It must be clearly explained how the collection of additional data will contribute to elucidation of the basis of neurocognitive sequelae of T2D.
