Environmental Influences on Aging: Effects of Extreme Weather and Disaster Events on Aging Populations (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity PAR-19-250 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Background The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to advance our understanding of the impact of extreme weather and disaster events in aging human populations. Together with the companion FOA (PAR-19-XXX) that focuses on basic mechanisms of aging utilizing animal models, these two FOAs will help to explicate the behavioral, biological, epigenetic, genetic, neurological and socioecological processes that occur during extreme weather or disaster events and that affect aging processes. Through the integration of the population studies and the companion mechanistic studies FOA, the ultimate goal is to improve the health and well-being of older adults via increased knowledge about extreme weather and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
