Mechanisms Underlying Olfactory Dysfunction in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is set to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aimed at investigating the mechanisms underlying olfactory dysfunction in aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (ADRD). This initiative seeks to explore the relationship between olfactory decline and various health outcomes in older adults, potentially identifying novel therapeutic targets for disease modification. The research may involve studies on older adults and animal models, utilizing diverse methodologies such as cellular, molecular, and imaging techniques. While applications are not currently being solicited, interested researchers are encouraged to prepare collaborative projects in anticipation of the funding opportunity, which is expected to utilize the R01 activity code. For further inquiries, contact Coryse St. Hillaire-Clarke, Ph.D., at 301-496-9350 or via email at sthillaireclacn@mail.nih.gov. The estimated synopsis post date is August 6, 2026, with a closing date for applications anticipated on October 6, 2026, and awards expected to be made by July 6, 2027.
