This NOFO invites applications for a Demography and Economics of Aging and AD/ADRD Coordinating Center (D and E CC) whose purpose is to act as a hub, serving the needs of theCenters on the Demography and Economics of Aging, including Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias
(AD/ADRD) (D and E Centers)as well as the needs of National Institute on Aging program staff.
The D and E Centers Program focuses on advancing aging research indemography, economics, and related interdisciplinary population-based social science areas, including those with a focus on Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD).The CC will be a bridge among D and E Centers, institutions, individual scholars, the NIA, and the research and policy communities.
The CC will enhance the scientific impact of the D and E Centers Programs and foster synergies across D and E Centers, other NIA-funded P30 Centers Programs, and NIA-funded research infrastructure (e.g., longitudinal datasets, contextual data repositories, etc.) as well as promote inclusion and representation across a diverse group of scholars and institutions, including via shared mentorship and training activities.
The D and E CC will also build and execute approaches to raise the profile of the D and E Centers Programs and the demography and economics of aging, including AD/ADRD.
