Opportunity Description:
This Notice informs the research community that the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and partnering Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intend to promote a new initiative to advance palliative care research by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The NOFO will invite applications proposing the development of a specialized center. Henceforth, the center will be referred to as the “Consortium.” The aim of the Consortium will be to provide resources, expertise, and coordination to advance innovative, high-quality research on palliative care for those living with serious illnesses across the lifespan. This research infrastructure will encompass Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD), cancer, and other serious illnesses and populations relevant to the partnering ICOs. NIH currently funds many palliative care research projects across the ICOs, and there is a need for a structure to leverage synergies, coordinate efforts, develop the scientific workforce, and address remaining gaps in the field.
