Understanding the Supply of Professional Dementia Care Providers and Their Decisions (U54 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-24-024 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This RFA supports a national survey of professional dementia care providers and link consented survey respondents (providers and institutional representative) that consent to administrative data (e.g., electronic health records, claims, payroll, other institutional and state level data). This new resource anticipates the integration from administrative sources with the provider survey to expand research on the dementia care workforce, supply of skilled labor, and provide deeper insight into how professional care providers and institutions provide care for persons living with dementia. The national survey will oversample individuals from populations underrepresented in research on Alzheimers disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) who serve in various professional caregiving roles (e.g., physicians, other care providers such as licensed practical nurses [LPNs], social workers) and institutions serving predominately underrepresented populations. This will allow examination of how the characteristics of professional care providers and the institutions employing them lead to variation in care provided to persons living with dementia and identify modifiable organization and individual behaviors that can improve overall health care delivery and eliminate AD/ADRD disparities.

Ancillary Studies to the NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-DK-22-023 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The NIDDK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium (IBDGC), in collaboration with the International IBD Genetics Consortium, has identified over 250 susceptibility loci for IBD. The IBDGC has recently been renewed with a continued mission to characterize the genetic architecture of IBD phenotypes in diverse populations and to elucidate the biological mechanisms by which genetic variants influence IBD pathophysiology and clinical course. However, current resources permit functional investigation of only a limited number of loci, genes and physiological domains, while the biological mechanisms underlying most of the identified IBD risk loci remain unknown. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to expand the number of IBD susceptibility loci, causal variants and effector genes, and IBD-related phenotypes and physiological domains under investigation via Ancillary Studies utilizing the extensive resources including subjects, samples and datasets established by the IBDGC. Proposed Ancillary Studies should focus on causal variant identification and/or functional characterization of effector genes within IBD risk loci and must not duplicate studies either ongoing or already completed by the IBDGC.
