Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support research establishing a link between environmental exposure and the risk for Alzheimers disease (AD). Research is encouraged ranging from basic mechanistic exposure studies to human-based studies. This new effort seeks to promote work to further the understanding of the combined roles of exposure and processes implicated in AD such as inflammation and genetic susceptibility. This FOA is intended to support the broad research goals of the 2012-2017 Strategic Plan for NIEHS (http://www.niehs.nih.gov/about/strategicplan/strategicplantrifold20122017_508.pdf).This FOA will use the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with another FOA, RFA-ES-13-007, which encourages applications under the R21 mechanisms.
