Demography and Economics of Aging and AD-ADRD Coordinating Center (R24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This FOA invites applications for a Demography and Economics of Aging and AD/ADRD Coordinating Center (CC) whose purpose is to act as a hub, serving the needs of both traditional Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging (D and E Centers) and Centers on the Demography and Economics of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Related Dementias (D and E Centers on AD/ADRD), as well as the needs of NIA program staff. The goals of the overall D and E Center program are to seed new lines of research in a) the demography and economics of aging and b) on demography, economics and health services research relevant to AD/ADRD, and to grow the number of researchers engaged in these fields through a variety of research and infrastructure activities that are built around specific research themes. The purpose of the CC is to work collaboratively with all participating Center sites to: maintain an active multi-center website; disseminate Center research advances, activities and resources to the research community, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders; maintain a centralized database to track and synthesize progress and outcomes of Center and CC activities for the purpose of annual reporting to individual Centers and to NIA Program Staff, and for future program evaluation by NIA; arrange an annual in-person meeting; foster communication and collaborative activities within and across both D and E Center programs and with other NIA research Centers; serve as the point-of-contact for the overall D and E Centers program by NIA staff, other NIA Centers and the broader scientific community.
