    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health, is issuing a funding opportunity (RFA-NS-25-013) to advance clinical research on health equity in Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (ADRD). The focus is on understanding social, ethical, and behavioral barriers experienced by populations defined as having health disparities, with an emphasis on community-driven interventions. The initiative encourages the submission of applications that include a Community Engaged Research Inclusion (CERI) Plan and a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which are critical for the peer review process. Applications should aim to establish clinical trial readiness by addressing the needs of historically underserved communities and must produce preliminary data to inform future trials. The opportunity is in response to recommendations from significant health equity councils and highlights the importance of engaging community partners, ensuring inclusivity, and addressing social determinants of health. The total funding available is $2.25 million for three awards, with a budget cap of $500,000 annually over a maximum period of four years. This call reflects a commitment to address health disparities, improve screening and interventions, and ultimately enhance the health outcomes of marginalized populations at risk for ADRD.
