Coordinating Center to Support Consortium for Neuroscience Alzheimers Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) Research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

NIA seeks to support investigator-initiated research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)LMICs through two new notices of funding opportunity (NOFOs), Consortium for Neuroscience AD/ADRD in Low-and Middle-income Countries and the Small Research Grant Program for the Next Generation of Researchers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) for Aging and Alzheimers Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) Research. The creation of these new global health consortia in LMICs will require strong and robust coordination support. The U24 Cooperative Research Agreement will be utilized to support one Coordination Center to provide coordination and support for the consortia. Specifically, the U24 Coordination Center will: -Serve as an administrative and coordinating center for the consortia. . -Coordinate collaboration and communication efforts across the consortia, and lead outreach efforts. -Coordinate data sharing according to NIH data sharing policies and FAIR principles and subsequent dissemination of these resources to the wider scientific community.
