Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites R03 applications from institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank, to support junior faculty investigators involved in aging and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) from these institutions. The goals of this NOFO are the following: To support the aging and/or AD/ADRD research conducted by junior faculty investigators from institutions in LMICs; and to support the career development of junior faculty investigators from institutions in LMICs as future leaders in aging and AD/ ADRD. In support of the program's goals, this NOFO invites applications that will yield pilot data, resources, and experience for subsequent aging and AD/ADRD research projects. In addition, candidates are encouraged to seek out a supportive research environment that will achieve the goal of fostering the career development of junior investigators.
