Neuropathological Interactions Between COVID-19 and ADRD (R01 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity PAR-23-214 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. "This FOA will solicit R01 applications that propose studies in animal, cell culture, and/or human tissue models to elucidate the mechanisms by which COVID-19 interacts with and/or modulates AD/ADRD-relevant phenotypes. Either the model itself or the experimental readouts will be required to incorporate AD/ADRD risk factors, pathologies, or relevant comorbidities.

Renewal of the Interventions Testing Program (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-002 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA is for the renewal and further development of the Interventions Testing Program (ITP). The ITP tests, under standardized conditions, potential intervention strategies which may delay aging in mammals. The effect on aging is measured by lifespan extension and/or delayed onset/severity of late life pathologies that can be attributed to the intervention. The ITP uses lifespan as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes currently include geropathology assessment at old ages and pathology at time of death, functional phenotypes (e.g. measure...

Pathogenic Mechanisms influencing Blood Brain Barrier function in HIV and Substance Use Disorders (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-23-012 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a target of both the HIV virus and substances of abuse. It is a site of entry for HIV infected monocytes and macrophages that can traverse the BBB either paracellularly or transcellularly. HIV viral proteins can also attack astrocytes and tight junctions of BBB directly and compromise its integrity, resulting in the crossing of the virus, as well as abused substances, into the brain. Meanwhile, many substances of abuse cause BBB dysfunction. Because BBB integrity regulates both substances and virus levels in t...

Using Human Cell Animal Chimera Brains to Study HIV Latency and Pathology R01 - Clinical Trials Not Allowed
Funding Opportunity RFA-DA-21-026 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Recent technical advancements have enabled generating human cell-mice chimeric brains by engrafting human iPSC-derived primitive neural progenitor cells and/or cord blood-derived microglial progenitor cells into neonatal mouse. In the chimeric brain, human neural progenitor cells or microglial cells differentiate, migrate, and distribute throughout the mouse brain. They are eventually functionally integrated into various brain regions. Such successes provide opportunities to define the structure, function, genetics and plasticity of functiona...

Peripheral Pathology in the Lewy Body Dementias (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-20-014 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this initiative is to identify potential biomarkers for the Lewy Body Dementias using non-blood or CSF peripheral specimens and tissues (e.g., autonomic nervous system, skin, salivary gland, GI tract/microbiome, olfactory mucosa, etc.). Blood and CSF have traditionally and extensively been examined for neurodegenerative disease biomarkers; however, research suggests that abnormal alpha-synuclein accumulation occurs in other peripheral tissues and specimens pre-symptomatically and may provide opportunities for early diagnosis an...

Mechanistic Basis of Diffuse White Matter Disease in Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID)(R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-19-039 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. (Reissue of RFA-NS-16-021, PAR-18-413) Diffuse brain white matter disease is highly prevalent in the elderly, and has been clinically associated with vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in both men and women. Diffuse white matter disease is thought to include a variety of pathologies including demyelination and/or fiber loss due to multifocal infarction and local ischemia. It is often accompanied by arteriosclerosis in deep penetrating arteries, multiple infarcts in the basal ganglia, brainstem or cerebellum. Th...
