Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a phased innovation initiative to enhance clinical tools to assess resiliencies and advance our understanding of age-related changes in resiliencies to physical stressors in humans. Resilience is defined here as the dynamic ability to maintain or recover appropriate function in response to a physical stressor. For the purposes of this FOA, examples of physical stressors include hip fracture, infections, or surgical procedures. Examples of specific resiliencies include recovery of ambulation after a hip fracture, healing of incisional wounds, maintenance or recovery of hematopoietic function after cancer chemotherapy, or maintenance of cognitive function following general anesthesia.
