    The Department of Health and Human Services is offering a funding opportunity through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to enhance research on neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. The aim is to advance the understanding of biobehavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying NPS, which include symptoms like aggression, depression, and agitation, contributing to challenges in care. This initiative invites applications for R01 Research Project Grants (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) and related R21 Exploratory Grants, encouraging innovative studies across multiple research levels. Applications must adhere to specific deadlines, with the next due date being October 5, 2023. The funding scope covers a maximum period of five years, with budgets reflecting project needs. The collaborative approach from diverse institutions, including newer researchers and minority-serving institutions, is encouraged to ensure comprehensive representation. Compliance with NIH’s stringent eligibility criteria and data-sharing policies is emphasized. The research topics range from neurobiological assessments and circadian rhythm disruptions to the potential role of technological innovations in observing behavioral patterns related to NPS. Ultimately, the goal is to identify new therapeutic targets to mitigate neuropsychiatric manifestations, thereby improving treatment interventions for those affected by Alzheimer's disease and related conditions.
