Description

Goal is to have experimental models that can accurately reproduce neuropathological signatures and clinically relevant neurodegenerative, biochemical and behavioral sequelae as those seen in human subjects post-TBI AD/ADRDs. Requirement: Interdisciplinary Team science approach / consortium type of applications. Applications will include multiple sites (3-5 sites) developing and/or testing specific models that will then implement a test of reproducibility across the consortium. Requirement: Must have a clinician with expertise in post-TBI ADRD on the team. Encourage having neuropathologists as consultants on grants. Requirement: Models developed through this FOA will be required to share their model, model details and related standards with the VA-funded interagency preclinical resource center - PRECISE TBI Studies investigating neurodegeneration of white matter and chronic inflammation in post-TBI AD/ADRDs are highly encouraged. Innovative applications reaching beyond the current AD/ADRD models are highly encouraged.
