The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at advancing diversity in aging research through the establishment of a coordinating center under the Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (ADAR) initiative. This initiative seeks to develop and maintain a center that will support undergraduate education in aging research, with the NOFO expected to be a companion to the existing funding opportunity PAR-24-135. The anticipated funding amount for this cooperative agreement is $800,000, with one award expected to be made, and the application process is projected to open in May 2025, following a synopsis release in February 2025. Interested applicants should prepare to submit their proposals by the estimated closing date of May 25, 2025, with awards expected to be made by March 1, 2026.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to promote a new initiative by publishing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to develop and maintain a&#65533;coordinating center (CC) for the Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (ADAR) through Undergraduate Education Program. It is anticipated that the NOFO will be a companion funding opportunity of PAR-24-135, &#65533;NIA MSTEM: Advancing Diversity in Aging Research (ADAR) through Undergraduate Education (R25 - Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed),&#65533; or a subsequent reissue of PAR-24-135. The NOFO is expected to be published in Spring 2025 with an expected application due date in May 2025. These are estimated time frames, and they may change. The NOFO is expected to utilize the Resource-Related Research Projects &#65533; Cooperative Agreements (U24) activity code.&#65533; This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects.&#65533; &#65533;Additional details of the planned NOFO are provided below.
