Development of Biomarkers or Biomarker Signatures for Neurological and Neuromuscular Disorders (R61/R33 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity PAR-22-089 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The overarching purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote the discovery and/or early evaluation of strong candidate biomarkers and biomarker signatures that can be used as tools to facilitate the clinical development of neurotherapeutics and their use in clinical practice. Specifically, the focus of this FOA is on the identification and initial biological, analytical and clinical evaluation of biomarkers and biomarker signatures for neurological and neuromuscular disorders. Although research supported by this FOA can include animal studies, it must also include preliminary human evaluation using carefully standardized human samples or datasets. The goal of this initiative is to deliver candidate biomarkers or biomarker signatures that are ready for definitive analytical and clinical validation studies.

Screening for Cognitive Impairment: Decision-Making (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)

Funding Opportunity RFA-AG-23-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites research to develop, validate, and disseminate measurement tools that could be used to screen for deficits related to decision-making, planning, and other important higher order functional outcomes in older adults. In particular, we are interested in instruments that can track changes in decision-making capacity that could be useful in the context of future screening for cognitive impairment and the development of interventions targeting functional outcomes in persons living with cognitive impairment and/or quality of life outcomes in their care partners/caregivers. The goal of the FOA is to support a research network whose goals would be to review and assess the dimensions of higher cognitive abilities and functional capacities already believed to support higher order planning and decision-making, to develop valid and reliable measures of those abilities, and to provide support for pilot efforts during the instrument development and validation in a racially, ethnically, geographically, and diagnostically diverse set of participants as well as a set of enduring resources including the measurement instruments, documentation, and normative data that will enable other, future projects to incorporate the new measurements into studies.
