The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to encourage applications that propose either basic, clinical, or a combination of basic and clinical studies that investigate how functional changes in the sensory and/or motor systems impact the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
This NOSI encourages applications investigating how functional changes in sensory systems (e.g., olfactory, visual, auditory, somatosensory, gustatory) and/or motor systems impact the development and progression of AD. Applications proposing to distinguish the sensory and/or motor changes associated with early AD from those associated with normal aging are also highly encouraged. Studies may include older adults and/or animal models and may employ a variety of approaches—including cellular, molecular, imaging, physiological, and genetic—to address this need. For clinical studies, leveraging of existing longitudinal cohorts already collecting sensory and/or motor assessments is highly encouraged. Studies proposing to establish new cohorts must present a strong justification for why this is needed.
This notice applies to due dates on or after March 11, 2022 and subsequent receipt dates through November 13, 2024.
Application Due Date(s): March 11, 2022; July 8, 2022; Nov 14, 2022; March 10, 2023; July 10, 2023; Nov 13, 2023; March 11, 2024; July 9, 2024; Nov 12, 2024
