NIA has issued new R03, R21 and R01 funding opportunities on Regional
and International Differences in Health and Longevity at Older
Ages. The proposals are due on the standard dates (next up are: June
5 for R01s and June 16 for R03 and R21). No letter of intent is requested.
Regional and International Differences in Health and Longevity at Older Ages
These Funding Opportunities encourage applications proposing to
advance knowledge on the reasons behind the divergent trends that
have been observed in health and longevity at older ages, both across
industrialized nations and across geographical areas in the United
States. This FOA is intended to capitalize on provocative findings
in the literature which have been insufficiently understood and
addressed. This FOA is also intended to capitalize on NIA's
investment in the development of cross-nationally comparable datasets
that can be harnessed to study these research questions; these
include the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the English
Longitudinal Study on Ageing (ELSA), the Survey of Health, Ageing
and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), and the Human Mortality Data
Base. Applications proposing secondary analysis, new data
collection, calibration of measures across studies, development of
innovative survey measures, and linkages to administrative sources
are encouraged. Applications are not restricted to projects using
the NIA-supported datasets above and may propose research using any
relevant data.
