    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announces a funding opportunity for a Coordinating Center to support Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). This initiative focuses on creating a U24 Cooperative Agreement to enhance collaboration among researchers under companion funding opportunities. The Center’s responsibilities include administrative coordination, stakeholder engagement, data sharing in line with NIH policies, and creating accessible platforms for broader scientific community interaction. Key dates include a posting date of September 11, 2024, with applications due by 5:00 PM on November 14, 2024. The funding seeks to provide a budget of up to $560K for one award, supporting projects aimed at generating insights into AD/ADRD that are often underexplored due to the limited existing research infrastructure in LMICs. The proposal aims to address the growing burden of AD/ADRD in LMICs, where most individuals with these conditions reside, by improving research accessibility and fostering sustainable programs that can lead to effective prevention and treatment strategies tailored to these populations. This funding opportunity aligns with NIH's goal to support diverse and inclusive research efforts globally.
