To: Members of NBER Programs on Economic Fluctuations and Growth and
International Finance & MacroEconomics:
The National Institute on Aging has just issued a new funding
opportunity (next due date October 3, 2012) for macroeconomic
research with a focus on aging. Historically, some macro research
applications suffered in NIH review panels with a micro focus. This
new announcement (see below) is a call for research with a special
review panel which will have a macro focus and will only review
applications from this announcement.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to learn more about
this competition, or about NIH proposals and grants generally.

Macroeconomic Aspects of Population Aging (R01) (PA-12-186)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-186.html
Economic productivity is an integral part of a society's ability to
produce health and well-being. Macroeconomic factors such as the
size and composition of the labor force, domestic and foreign
investment, the design of public institutions, and technological
development all influence productivity. All of the factors, in turn,
can be influenced by population aging. The NIA Division of Behavioral
and Social Research (BSR) has traditionally supported research on the
economics of aging that uses microeconomic approaches.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research on the
macroeconomics of aging - the impact of population aging on the
macroeconomy and in turn how macroeconomic factors impact health and
well-being.
Please feel free to contact us if you are interested in this
competition, or in learning more about NIH propsals and grants
generally. We look forward to working with you.
