Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications on novel studies of the cytosolic DNA sensing mechanisms in the interactions of the aging hallmarks. The goal of this FOA is to support applications that will lead to an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms that determine the effects of cytosolic DNAs on aging hallmarks in the context of aging and longevity. Research supported by this FOA should lead to new insights to address some critical mechanistic questions relevant to the role of aging hallmarks in aging and aging-related diseases. This FOA encourages innovative, mechanistic approaches to identify and characterize interactions of aging hallmarks mediated by cytosolic DNAs that ultimately modulate the regulation of healthspan and/or longevity.
