Neural and Non-Neural Mechanisms Underlying Gait as a Preclinical Marker for Alzheimers Disease and Alzheimers Disease-Related Dementias (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-041 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite applications that investigate the neural and/or non-neural mechanisms that underlie the association between gait and cognition in aging and Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). Elucidating these mechanisms would help inform the potential use of changes gait as an early biomarker of AD/ADRD or inform the design of early interventions for AD/ADRD. To achieve these goals, it will be necessary to facilitate a team science approach by bringing experts together from various relevant disciplines, such as gerontology, neurology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuroscience, neuroimaging, exercise physiology and physical therapy.
