National Institute on Aging Funding Opportunity for Mentored Career Enhancement Awards to Build Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge and Skills for Comparative Studies of Human and Nonhuman Primate Species with Differing Life Spans

Submitted 06/08/2024 by Carol Nguyen

The National Institute on Aging has recently announced a new funding opportunity with targeted funding to facilitate cross-training and skill development of experienced investigators with existing expertise in human and/or nonhuman primate (NHP) studies. This funding opportunity is intended to expand the community of researchers in comparative primate research, with a specific focus on enhancing the investigator’s capability to lead studies to elucidate the bases for primate species differences in life span and age-related conditions. This interdisciplinary collaboration for mentored training is expected to be mutually beneficial, providing both the mentor and applicant with a broadened research scope, as well as expanded networks for future collaboration and resource access.

This RFA is for mentored career enhancement (K18) awards (see link below):
RFA-AG-25-028 – Mentored Career Enhancement Awards to Build Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge and Skills for Comparative Studies of Human and Nonhuman Primate Species with Differing Life Spans (K18)

The deadline for applications is November 1, 2024. We strongly encourage registering and attending our August 15th Pre-Application Webinar from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET.
