    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a limited competition grant opportunity titled "Post-Stroke Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID) in the United States," aimed at advancing research on the relationship between stroke events and cognitive impairment in post-stroke populations. This initiative seeks to explore the clinical factors that may contribute to dementia outcomes in individuals who have experienced strokes, addressing a significant public health concern given that one in three people will have a stroke in their lifetime, with dementia affecting approximately 30% of post-stroke patients. The total estimated funding for this program is $10 million, with one award expected to be granted, and interested applicants who have previously received funding under RFA-NS-19-012 are encouraged to prepare their proposals ahead of the anticipated application period, which is expected to open on October 28, 2025, with a closing date of November 28, 2025. For further inquiries, potential applicants can contact Dr. Lina Garcia at lina.garcia@nih.gov or by phone at 301-496-9135.
