Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Dementia Care Research: Programs and services for persons with dementia

National Institutes of Health

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) highlights priority areas of dementia care research other than intervention development. Applications focused solely on unpaid dementia care partners/caregivers may cite NOT-AG-21-047 , and applications focused on the paid dementia care workforce may cite NOT-AG-21-049 in the Agency Routing Identifier field (box 4B). PLEASE NOTE: Applications proposing clinical trials will not be considered a high priority for this NOSI. Studies proposing dementia care intervention research are encouraged to explore whether PAR-21-307 Dementia Care and Caregiver Support intervention Research (R01- Clinical Trial Required) or PAR-21-308 Pragmatic Trials for Dementia Care and Caregiver Support (R61/R33 – Clinical Trial Required) would be more appropriate.

This NOSI invites applications on high-priority Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) care research areas as set forth by the National Institute on Aging’s Division of Behavioral and Social Research . The NOSI is based on expert discussions from the NIH 2020 Dementia Care Summit , the NASEM Decadal Survey of Behavioral and Social Science Research on AD/ADRD, and is aligned with AD/ADRD research implementation milestones .

In addition to affecting the health and well-being of individual patients and families, AD/ADRD has a significant impact on medical and social service systems. Persons living with dementia (PLWD) may experience issues with continuity of care as well as expensive, but variable and ineffective, health care and long-term services and supports (LTSS). If these issues are unaddressed, these problems will worsen as the number of PLWD increases. This NOSI encourages research on the care of persons living with dementia as well as the systems and the individuals within those systems that provide care to PLWD.

This notice applies to due dates on or after March 11, 2022 and subsequent receipt dates through November 13, 2024.
