Synopsis
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to support the Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN), a network to enhance collaborations across NIA's seven research centers programs. These collaborations are intended to leverage NIA's substantial investments by fostering and sustaining the development of novel interdisciplinary efforts in aging research. This renewal NOFO will call for continuation of the current high-value RCCN activities and encourage new activities such as special pilot funding programs; faculty exchange programs, particularly among new and early stage investigators; expanded networking and collaboration tools; and development of enhanced mentoring infrastructure. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into aging research and research networks are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
