Description

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to catalyze innovative research to elucidate the molecular landscape and functional implications of RNA modifications in brain aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). AD-related dementias include Lewy body dementia (LBD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), vascular cognitive impairment/dementia (VCI/D), and mixed dementias. This NOFO supports applications focused on uncovering novel mechanisms underlying RNA modification-mediated processes and their impact on brain aging and the pathogenesis and progression of AD/ADRD. The ultimate goal is to identify targets for biomarker discovery and drug development for AD/ADRD.
