NOTE: This is a Forecasted Opportunity.
This Notice informs that the National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) inviting applications on T1 translational aging research (i.e., bench to bedside) which focus on advancing new therapeutics from preclinical stages to first-in-human (FIH) trials for aging-related conditions such as sarcopenia, physical functional impairments, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and deficits such as immunosenescence.
Biologics or stem/progenitor cell therapies for improving injury repair in older adults (e.g., fractures, wound healing) may be proposed. This may include treatments with cytokines, trophic factors, etc., to improve stem/progenitor cell function to promote more efficient repair of injuries or wounds, as well as homeostasis of the damaged tissues.
Proposed projects should clearly state the relationship between candidate compound or therapeutic target of interest for preclinical development to the clinical indication (i.e., aging-related condition of interest). Applications focusing on neurodegenerative diseases and Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) will be outside the scope of the NOFO.
