Science communication is rapidly evolving. The growing use of preprints and the sheer number of published studies make it increasingly difficult to determine which findings are worthy of attention. Not all scientific studies are created equal. Communicators need to discern which are reputable in order to know what to co...

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...

A Consortium for Gut-Brain Communication in Parkinsons Disease (U24 Clinical Trial not allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-23-001 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Parkinsons disease (PD) is the second most common and fastest growing neurodegenerative disorder, with approximately 60,000 Americans diagnosed annually. PD symptoms are not limited to motor dysfunction and more than 50% of patients who develop PD often have a history of bowel complaints affecting nearly all parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. These SI symptoms often precede the onset of motor symptoms, indicating that GI dysfunction may be an early manifestation of the disease and the gut may be an unexplored diagnostic and/or therape...

A Consortium for Gut-Brain Communication in Parkinsons Disease (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
The objective of this consortium is to accelerate research on the role gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and changes in gut-brain communication in the initiation and pathogenesis of Parkinsons disease in order to facilitate development and validation of innovative early-phase GI-based diagnostic tools and biomarkers for PD. The research centers of the GBPDC will serve as sites for enrollment of PD patients with and without GI symptoms, patients with GI symptoms considered to be at risk for PD, and healthy age-matched controls for laboratory-based studies on biological samples obtained from these patients. The NIDDK strongly e...
