    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institute on Aging (NIA), has issued a funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for early to late-stage clinical trials targeting Alzheimer's Disease (AD), related dementias (ADRD), and age-related cognitive decline. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for promising pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, enhancing trial designs and methods while addressing cognitive and neuropsychiatric changes. The announcement underscores the urgency due to the increasing prevalence of dementia as the population ages, predicting over 13 million affected individuals by mid-century without effective treatments. Applications are encouraged for a range of interventions, including novel drugs, behavioral therapies, and lifestyle modifications, aiming to improve clinical practice and patient care. The FOA emphasizes rigorous research, the importance of understanding mechanisms of action, and the development of validated outcomes. Key dates include submission deadlines and specific eligibility details for a wide array of potential applicants, including educational institutions and for-profit organizations. This initiative highlights a significant commitment to addressing a critical public health issue through innovative research interventions.
