Description

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications employing secondary analysis of existing data sets or stored biospecimens, to address clinically related issues on aging changes influencing health across the lifespan, and/or on diseases and disabilities in older persons. Use of cohorts that are linked to electronic health record systems and/or Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative data are especially welcome. This FOA will support activities addressing specific hypotheses in clinical aging research and/or to inform the design and implementation of future epidemiologic or human intervention studies, or current geriatric practice in maintenance of health, management of disease, and prevention of disability. Existing data sets may also be used to develop and test new statistical analytical approaches. Costs for archiving of data to be made publicly available and those associated with data harmonization or assay refinement/validation may be included in the budget, as long as these activities are pertinent to the proposed secondary analyses.
