>Dear Colleague:
>
>The NIA recently released RFA-AG-05-004, "AGING THROUGH THE LIFE SPAN:
>LONGITUDINAL DATA," which invites research grant (R01) applications that
>will utilize existing human longitudinal data and specimens, and/or conduct
>ancillary studies to longitudinal studies, to gain information and answers
>to the following important research questions:
>
>* the progression and determinants of changes across all segments of the
>life span that affect health in old age;
>* effects of age, disease stage, and comorbidity on the effects of risk
>factors;
>* variability among and within individuals in rates of change with age in
>physiologic, pathologic, behavioral, social and functional characteristics;
>* determinants of exceptionally healthy aging; and
>* health and physiologic effects in human aging of factors that influence
>aging in other species.
>
>This RFA is confined to ancillary studies to existing longitudinal studies,
>and/or analyses of previously acquired data or specimens from ongoing or
>completed longitudinal studies. You may read the RFA at
>http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-05-004.html .
>
>We are bringing this new initiative to your attention as a current or former
>grantee of the NIA Behavioral and Social Research Program and we hope that
>you will share this information with your colleagues whose research falls
>within the scope of this RFA.
>
>Note that letters of intent are due on December 13, 2004 and applications
>are due on January 11, 2005.
