Deadline: 21-Oct-22
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications proposing to develop and maintain a coordinating center (CC) for the Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMAR) program.
The RCMAR program supports behavioral and social research on aging, health disparities in older adults, and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD), through the development of research infrastructure and the mentorship of early career scientists from diverse backgrounds, including, but not limited to, individuals from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research, individuals with disabilities, and women.
The primary responsibilities of the RCMAR CC are to: coordinate and provide logistical support to RCMAR Centers; facilitate cooperation and collaboration across RCMAR Centers; create and maintain an interactive RCMAR CC website; identify and share research and training resources; provide support, technical assistance, and resources to early career investigators; and perform program analysis and evaluation. Additionally, the CC will develop and implement strategies to enhance the visibility of the RCMAR program and behavioral and social research on aging and AD/ADRD as a whole, and to communicate the importance and value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the aging and AD/ADRD research enterprise.
